The choice of ribbon Which type of barcode ribbon has the best scratch resistance? Ribbon, also known as ribbon, is roughly divided into three categories: wax-based, mixer and resin-based.

Barcode ribbon is a consumable used in barcode printers. It is a polyester film coated with wax-based, resin-based or mixed ink on one side, and lubricant is coated on the side without ink to prevent the print head from wearing. Under the action of heat and pressure of the print head of barcode printer, the ink on the barcode ribbon transfers the corresponding text and barcode information to the label.

Often encounter users will put forward some requirements, such as waterproof, oil-proof, alcohol-proof, scratch-resistant, etc. What kind of carbon belt, which type of bar code carbon belt has the best scratch resistance?

First of all, the carbon tape printed on coated paper is mainly wax-based and mixed-based, and then there is a distinction between imported and domestic. Before printing, understand the composition and application of these two carbon tapes.

1. all-wax-based ribbon

1. The whole wax carbon belt has the characteristics of low cost, good printing effect, and will not disperse in case of water droplets. Can be printed on the surface of the printing material; suitable for high-speed printing.

2, not suitable for printing tear label or wash mark; Although printed out, it will be easily scraped off.

3, can print general copper plate label, clothing tag, price tag, carton label, wristband label, certificate label, product label.

2. mixed base ribbon

1. The half-tree and half-wax carbon belt has the characteristics of anti-scratch wear resistance than the full-wax carbon belt, but the wear resistance of the full-resin carbon belt is a little worse. It can be printed into a deeper layer of printing material than the full wax carbon belt. It works better on torn labels.

2. It is not suitable for printing on PET labels that cannot be torn. Although it can be printed clearly, it can only be printed on the surface of the label because the half-tree half-wax carbon belt still contains wax components. Therefore, the anti-scratch effect is not as good as that of full-resin carbon tape.

3, can print bright copper plate label, clothing tag, general copper plate label, carton label, wristband label, shelf label.

3. the following is the effect test of carbon tape printing. The mixed-based carbon tape has the best printing effect, especially the brand carbon tape. The scratch resistance should be: brand> domestic, mixed base> wax base.

After understanding the above types of carbon belts, you also need to know whether your machine uses internal carbon or external carbon, whether the print head is flat or side pressure, and whether the large roll core or the small roll core.

1), the inner carbon refers to the ink side and the shaft on the carbon belt contact, the outer carbon refers to the ink side and the shaft contact. General bar code printer two kinds of carbon ribbon can be used, only individual printers can only use the carbon ribbon inside and or outside the fixed carbon.

2) The carbon ribbon is also divided into flat-press carbon ribbon and side-press carbon ribbon from the print head of the printer, which are suitable for flat-press printers and side-press printers respectively. Two kinds of carbon tape can not be mixed, otherwise it will affect the printing effect.

3) The core of the carbon tape is divided into 1 inch and 0.5 inches. If the core is wrong, the machine cannot be installed for printing!
