How to set the printing parameters for PET thermal sensitive silver paper?

When setting the printing parameters for PET thermal sensitive silver paper, factors such as printing speed, printing density (depth), and paper size usually need to be considered. Here is a basic setup guide:

1、 Printing speed and density adjustment

Open the control panel:

Search and open the 'Control Panel' in the start menu of the computer.

Enter printer preferences:

Click on 'View Devices and Printers', find and right-click on the currently connected printer, and select' Printing Preferences'.

Adjust printing speed and density:

In "Printer Preferences", click on "Options" or a similar button to uncheck "Use current printer settings" (if available).

Adjust the printing speed according to the actual situation. It is generally recommended to set it within a moderate range, such as 76.20mm/s (or adjust according to the recommended settings based on the printer model and consumables).

Simultaneously adjusting the printing density (depth), it is generally recommended to set it around 10, but the specific value may need to be fine tuned according to the printing effect and consumable characteristics.

Attention: Slow speed or high concentration may cause the carbon ribbon to burn out, so it needs to be tested and adjusted according to the actual situation.

Save settings and print:

After the adjustment is complete, click "OK" to save the settings.

Reprint the label and check if the printing effect meets the requirements.

2、 Paper size setting

Confirm paper specifications:

Before setting the paper size, confirm the specifications of PET thermal sensitive silver paper, such as common sizes of 6040mm, 8050mm, etc.

Set in printer preferences:

In the "Printer Preferences", find the "Paper/Quality" or "Advanced" options.

Select 'Paper Size' and choose the size that matches the PET thermal silver paper from the drop-down list.

If there is no matching size in the list, you can select "Custom Paper Size" and enter specific width and height.

Set up in the software:

If the printing software used (such as Word, Excel, PDF reader, etc.) requires separate paper size settings, please follow the prompts in the software to make the corresponding settings.

3、 Precautions

Compatibility of consumables:

Ensure that the PET thermal sensitive silver paper used is compatible with the printer and ribbon. Different consumables may require different printing parameter settings.

Test printing:

Before proceeding with formal printing, it is recommended to conduct a test print to check if the printing effect meets expectations. If necessary, further parameter adjustments can be made based on the test results.

Maintain the printer:

Regularly clean printer nozzles, rollers, and other components to ensure print quality and extend printer lifespan.

In summary, when setting the printing parameters for PET thermal sensitive silver paper, it is necessary to adjust the printing speed and density according to the actual situation, and correctly set the paper size. At the same time, paying attention to the compatibility of consumables and the maintenance of printers are also important factors in ensuring print quality.
