The main technologies for enhancing wax based carbon ribbons involve the following aspects:
1、 Material formula technology
The core of enhancing wax based carbon ribbon lies in its unique material formula, which enables the ribbon to exhibit excellent performance during the printing process. The resin composition is about 20%, which makes the reinforced wax based carbon ribbon have better scratch resistance and wear resistance compared to ordinary wax based carbon ribbon. At the same time, the formula may also contain other additives to improve the printing effect, heat resistance, anti-static properties, and other properties of the carbon ribbon.
2、 Coating technology
Coating technology is a crucial step in enhancing the manufacturing process of wax based carbon ribbons. The main body of the carbon ribbon includes a heat-resistant protective layer, a top coating layer, an ink layer, an inner coating layer, a tape base, a strong adhesive layer, an anti-static coating, a back coating, etc. These coatings are adhered to each other from top to bottom, together forming the printing surface of the carbon ribbon. The quality of coating technology directly affects the printing effect, wear resistance, scratch resistance and other performance indicators of carbon ribbon.
3、 Printing technology
The enhanced wax based carbon ribbon adopts thermal transfer printing technology, which transfers the ink on the carbon ribbon to the substrate by heating the print head, thereby achieving printing. During the printing process, it is necessary to control parameters such as temperature, pressure, and printing speed of the print head to ensure the quality of the printing effect. Meanwhile, the enhanced wax based carbon ribbon also has good low-temperature adaptability and can maintain stable printing effects in low-temperature environments.
4、 Adaptability technology
Enhancing wax based carbon ribbon requires adaptation to various types of printers and substrates. Therefore, in the manufacturing process, it is necessary to consider the width, length, roll direction, and other specifications of the carbon ribbon to ensure compatibility with the printer. At the same time, it is also necessary to consider the compatibility between the carbon ribbon and the substrate, including the material, thickness, surface treatment, etc. of the paper, to ensure the quality and stability of the printing effect.
5、 Environmental Protection and Sustainability Technologies
With the continuous improvement of environmental awareness, the manufacturing process of wax based carbon strips has also begun to pay attention to environmental protection and sustainability. For example, using environmentally friendly inks and additives to reduce the impact of carbon ribbons on the environment during manufacturing and use. Meanwhile, the recyclability and reusability of carbon ribbons can also be considered to reduce waste generation and resource consumption.
In summary, the main technologies for enhancing wax based carbon ribbons include material formulation technology, coating technology, printing technology, adaptability technology, and environmental protection and sustainability technology. The application and development of these technologies have enhanced the wax based carbon ribbon to exhibit excellent performance in printing effect, wear resistance, scratch resistance, environmental friendliness, and other aspects.
