What printing methods does BOPP color synthetic paper support?

The main printing method supported by BOPP color synthetic paper is thermal printing. The following is a detailed analysis of the printing method for BOPP color synthetic paper:

1、 Thermal printing

Principle: Thermal printing is achieved by heating the print head to cause a chemical reaction on the coating on the thermal paper, resulting in the display of images and text.

Advantages:

Fast color rendering: Thermal printing can quickly produce clear images and text in a short period of time.

Colorful: BOPP color synthetic paper combines the printing characteristics of thermal paper to present a printing effect with bright colors and high contrast.

No need for ink or ribbon: Thermal printing does not require additional ink or ribbon, reducing printing costs.

Application scenarios:

Receipt printing: shopping receipts and receipts for retail locations such as supermarkets and convenience stores.

Label printing: such as product pricing, inventory management, and other labels.

Express waybill: Used in the express delivery and logistics industry to print express waybills.

Medical records: Used in hospitals and clinics to print medical records, prescription forms, and examination reports.

2、 Other possible printing methods

UV printing: Although theoretically BOPP color synthetic paper may support UV printing, it depends on the specific formula and manufacturing process of the paper. UV printing typically requires the use of special UV curing ink, which rapidly solidifies under UV irradiation. If the coating or formula of BOPP color synthetic paper is suitable for the adhesion and curing of UV curable ink, then it may support UV printing. However, this requires specific experiments and testing to verify.

Laser printing: Laser printing may not be the best choice for BOPP color synthetic paper. Because laser printing relies on the laser beam forming an electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive drum, and then forming the final image through toner adsorption and transfer. Due to the fact that BOPP color synthetic paper is not specifically designed for laser printing, its surface properties and toner compatibility with laser printers may not be ideal. Therefore, the laser printing effect may not be as good as thermal printing.

In summary, the main printing method supported by BOPP color synthetic paper is thermal printing. In practical applications, it is recommended to choose the appropriate printing method based on specific printing requirements and paper characteristics. If other types of printing are required, such as UV printing or laser printing, it is recommended to conduct small-scale experiments and tests first to ensure printing quality and paper compatibility.
