What are the quality inspection indicators for enhancing wax based carbon ribbon?

The quality inspection indicators for enhancing wax based carbon ribbon mainly include the following aspects:

1、 Basic physical properties

Thickness: Use a thickness gauge to measure the total thickness of the carbon ribbon and ink thickness, ensuring that they meet the specified range. For example, the total thickness of certain enhanced wax based carbon ribbons may be between 8.28.5 μ m, and the ink thickness may be between 2.62.8 μ m.

Width: Check if the width of the carbon ribbon is consistent to avoid poor printing results caused by inconsistent width.

Length: Measure the length of the carbon ribbon to ensure it reaches the specified value and meets the usage requirements.

2、 Printing performance

Printing effect: Test the printing effect of carbon ribbon through actual printing, including handwriting clarity, density, and edge clarity. Use a dedicated printer for testing, and visually and microscopically observe the printed samples to ensure that the printed barcodes, text, or patterns are clear, full, and suitable for scanning or recognition.

Adhesion: Evaluate the adhesion of carbon ribbon on various surface materials to ensure a tight fit and prevent detachment.

Wear resistance: Evaluate the wear resistance of carbon ribbon under friction conditions through wear resistance testing to ensure its service life under the print head. This can be tested by using a wear resistance tester or simulating the actual printing process.

3、 Environmental adaptability

Heat resistance: Test the stability and printing effect of carbon ribbon in high temperature environments to ensure that it will not melt or deform under high temperature conditions. This can be evaluated by testing in a constant temperature chamber.

Water resistance: Test the stability of the printed carbon ribbon in water or humid environments to ensure that it will not easily fade or blur when in contact with liquids.

Chemical resistance: Soak the carbon ribbon in chemicals for testing, detect its performance changes after contact with chemicals, and ensure its suitability for special environments.

4、 Other performance

Antistatic properties: Use an electrostatic tester to evaluate the static electricity generated by carbon ribbon during use, in order to avoid adverse effects on printing quality or the machine caused by static electricity.

Stretchability: Testing the strength of carbon ribbon under tensile force to evaluate its durability and ability to adapt to curved or irregular surfaces.

Harmful substance content: Check whether the carbon ribbon contains harmful substances such as heavy metals, volatile organic compounds, etc., to ensure that it meets environmental and safety standards.

In summary, the quality inspection indicators for enhancing wax based carbon ribbons cover multiple aspects to ensure their reliability and durability in practical applications. Through strict quality inspection, the printing effect and efficiency can be improved to meet various printing needs.
