How to store TTO high-speed coding ribbon to ensure its performance?

To ensure the performance of TTO high-speed coding ribbon, the following aspects need to be noted during storage:

1、 Temperature control

Storage temperature: TTO high-speed coding ribbon should be stored at room temperature to avoid high or low temperatures. Generally speaking, the storage temperature should be between -5 ℃ and 40 ℃ (or 5 ℃ to 35 ℃, depending on the brand). Excessive temperature can accelerate the aging of carbon ribbon, while excessively low temperature may cause the ribbon to become brittle, affecting its printing effect.

2、 Humidity management

Storage humidity: Barcode ribbon should be stored in an environment with low relative humidity to avoid moisture. Generally speaking, the storage humidity should be between 20% and 85%. Excessive humidity may cause the surface of the carbon ribbon to become damp, affecting its printing quality and shelf life.

3、 Dust and light avoidance

Dustproof: Barcode ribbon should be stored in a clean and dust-free environment to prevent dust from entering. Dust may adhere to the surface of the carbon ribbon, affecting its printing effect.

Light avoidance: Barcode carbon tape should avoid direct sunlight and strong light to reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays to the carbon tape. It is recommended to use opaque packaging materials or containers for storage.

4、 Packaging and Sealing

Original packaging storage: Barcode ribbons should be stored in their original packaging to keep them dry and clean. If the original packaging is damaged, appropriate packaging materials should be used for repackaging.

Sealing: Ensure good sealing of the storage container to prevent air and moisture from entering, thereby extending the shelf life of the carbon ribbon.

5、 Regular inspection and replacement

Regular inspection: During storage, the quality of the barcode ribbon should be checked regularly. If any deterioration, damage or contamination is found, it should be replaced in a timely manner to ensure printing quality.

Storage period: The storage period of barcode ribbon is generally around one year (depending on the brand), but it may also vary due to different storage conditions. Therefore, it is recommended to evaluate whether the carbon ribbon is still within its shelf life based on its production date and storage conditions.

In summary, by controlling storage temperature, humidity, dust and light avoidance, packaging and sealing, and regular inspection and replacement measures, the performance of TTO high-speed coding carbon tape can be ensured to be stable and durable.
