Types of TTO high-speed coding ribbon

TTO Thermal Transfer Overprinter Carbon Ribbon can be classified into various types based on its composition, characteristics, and application scenarios. Here are some common types of TTO high-speed coding ribbon:

Resin based carbon ribbon:

Characteristics: It has excellent scratch resistance, solvent resistance, high temperature resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance.

Application: Suitable for occasions that require long-term storage and high-definition printing, such as drug packaging, electronic product labels, etc.

Wax based carbon ribbon:

Features: Low cost, good printing effect and certain scratch resistance.

Application: Suitable for general printing needs, such as coding packaging materials such as cardboard boxes and plastic bags.

Wax tree mixed carbon ribbon:

Characteristics: Combining the advantages of wax based and resin based carbon ribbons, it has moderate cost and performance.

Application: Suitable for printing on various materials, including paper, plastic, film, etc.

Special function carbon ribbon:

Including fluorescent carbon tape, metallic carbon tape, anti-counterfeiting carbon tape, etc.

Characteristic: It has specific visual effects or anti-counterfeiting functions.

Application: Used for occasions that require special visual effects or anti-counterfeiting functions, such as packaging and anti-counterfeiting labels for high-end products.

High speed dedicated carbon ribbon:

Features: Designed for high-speed printing, with higher printing speed and better printing quality.

Application: Suitable for production lines that require high-speed printing, such as automated packaging lines in industries such as food and pharmaceuticals.

Low temperature carbon ribbon:

Features: Good printing results can be achieved at lower temperatures, which helps reduce damage to the print head and substrate.

Application: Suitable for temperature sensitive materials such as thermal paper, film, etc.

Thermistor ribbon (although not commonly referred to as TTO ribbon, it may be used in certain situations):

Features: Printing is achieved through thermal reaction, without the need for ink or toner on the carbon ribbon.

Application: Mainly used for printing specific materials such as thermal paper.

When choosing TTO high-speed coding ribbon, factors such as printing materials, printing speed, printing quality, cost, and whether special functions are required need to be considered. Different types of carbon ribbons have different printing effects, durability, and costs, so the selection needs to be based on specific application scenarios and requirements.
