The barcode ribbon is not only the core consumables of hot transfer printing printer, but also an important element that directly affects the printing quality.
Material Selection The material of the ribbon (wax, mixing ,resin) determines its durability and application scenario:
Wax ribbon: suitable for ordinary paper labels, the printing effect is clear, but low durability.
Mixed ribbon: suitable for moderate durability requirements, such as shipping labels, with both cost and performance advantages.
Resin ribbon: labels that provide the highest level of durability, suitable for long-term storage or use in harsh environments.
Print the temperature
Correct printing temperature is the key to ensure a good transfer of the ribbon. Too high or too low temperature will affect the melting and transfer of toner, thus affecting the printing clarity and color saturation.
Printing speed
High-speed printing may cause the toner on the ribbon to melt sufficiently, causing blurred or incomplete printing. Adjusting the printing speed appropriately can improve the printing quality.
Bearing material surface
The surface characteristics of the substrate (such as smoothness, ink absorption) can also affect the printing effect of the ribbon. Rough or irregular surfaces may result in uneven printing.
Storage conditions
Barcode ribbon need to be stored in a dry, light-free environment to prevent toner from damp or deterioration and affecting the printing effect.
Epilogue
Choosing the right carbon belt and optimizing the printing parameters can not only improve the printing quality, but also prolong the service life of the printer. Hope these tips will help you!
