If thermal label paper must be printed with carbon tape, what should be noted

If thermal label paper must be printed with carbon tape, the following points should be noted:

1、 Choose the appropriate carbon ribbon

Material: The material of the carbon ribbon should match the material of the thermal label paper to ensure the best printing effect.

Coating: The coating of carbon ribbon should be uniform to ensure clear and full printing.

Temperature resistance: Carbon ribbon should have a certain degree of temperature resistance to adapt to the heating printing process of thermal printers.

2、 Adjust printer settings

Temperature: Reduce the heating temperature of the printer, as thermal label paper itself is sensitive to temperature, and excessive temperature may cause label discoloration or damage.

Pressure: Adjust the pressure of the print head to ensure that the carbon ribbon can be evenly and completely transferred onto the label.

Speed: The printing speed should be moderate, too fast may result in unclear printing, and too slow may waste time and resources.

3、 Pay attention to the printing environment

Humidity: Maintain a moderate humidity in the printing environment to avoid excessive or insufficient humidity affecting the printing effect.

Temperature: Avoid printing in extreme temperature environments to avoid affecting the performance of carbon tape and thermal label paper.

4、 Regularly maintain the printer

Cleaning: Regularly clean the print head and printer interior to avoid dust and impurities affecting the printing effect.

Calibration: Regularly calibrate the printer to ensure accurate printing position and avoid wasting labels and carbon tape.

5、 Precautions

Avoid creases: During the printing process, avoid creases on the carbon tape or label paper to avoid affecting the printing quality and durability of the label.

Timely replacement of carbon ribbon: When the ink layer on the carbon ribbon is about to run out, a new carbon ribbon should be replaced in a timely manner to ensure the printing effect.

In summary, if thermal label paper must be printed with carbon tape, it is necessary to choose the appropriate carbon tape, adjust printer settings, pay attention to the printing environment, regularly maintain the printer, and follow some printing precautions. These measures can ensure optimal printing results while extending the lifespan of thermal label paper and printers.
