How to control the tension of the enhanced all resin carbon ribbon during the printing process?

During the printing process, it is crucial to control and enhance the tension of the all resin carbon ribbon, as this directly affects the printing quality and the service life of the carbon ribbon. Here are some methods to control the tension of carbon ribbon:

1、 Carbon ribbon tension adjustment device

The carbon ribbon supply shaft and recycling shaft are usually equipped with tension adjustment devices, such as adjustment knobs or control knobs. These devices allow users to adjust the tension of the carbon ribbon according to their actual needs.

Initial setting: Before adjusting the tension, ensure that the control knob or knob is in the initial position, usually aligning the arrow with a certain mark (such as a black line).

Adjustment method:

Turning the control knob or knob clockwise usually increases tension.

Turning counterclockwise will reduce tension.

2、 Adjust the tension according to the state of the carbon ribbon

New carbon ribbon: For newly installed and unused carbon ribbons, it is recommended to adjust the tension to a weaker level to avoid the ribbon from breaking due to excessive tension during printing.

Carbon ribbon in use: As the carbon ribbon is continuously used, its diameter will gradually decrease, and it may be necessary to increase the tension appropriately to maintain a stable printing effect.

Carbon ribbon wrinkles:

If there are wrinkles on the supply shaft side of the carbon ribbon, it may be due to insufficient tension on the supply shaft side. At this time, the adjustment knob on the supply shaft side should be rotated clockwise to increase the tension.

If the carbon ribbon has wrinkles on one side of the recycling shaft, it may be due to excessive tension on the recycling shaft side. At this time, the adjustment knob on the recycling shaft side should be rotated counterclockwise to reduce the tension.

3、 Precautions

Avoid excessive tension: Excessive tension may cause carbon ribbon breakage or damage to printer components.

Regular inspection: Regularly check the tension of the carbon ribbon to ensure it is within the appropriate range.

Reference printer manual: Different models of printers may have different methods and requirements for adjusting carbon ribbon tension, so it is recommended to refer to the printer manual for more accurate guidance.

In summary, controlling and enhancing the tension of all resin carbon ribbon during the printing process requires a comprehensive consideration of the state of the carbon ribbon, the requirements of the printer, and practical operating experience. By adjusting the tension of the carbon ribbon reasonably, the stability of printing quality and the service life of the carbon ribbon can be ensured.
