What materials are suitable for printing wax based carbon tape on labels?

Wax based carbon tape is an economical heat transfer carbon tape suitable for labels of various materials. The following are label materials suitable for printing with wax based carbon tape:

1. Ordinary paper

Copperplate paper: The surface is slightly uneven, suitable for wax based carbon tape printing, and the printing effect is clear.

Plain paper: suitable for general office, logistics and other scenarios, with good printing effect.

Offset paper: The surface is relatively rough and suitable for wax based carbon tape.

2. Special paper

Thermal paper: Although thermal paper itself does not require carbon tape, wax based carbon tape can be used for heat transfer printing when higher durability is needed.

Matte silver paper: suitable for wax based carbon ribbon, with clear printing effect, suitable for general use.

Wheat straw paper: suitable for wax based carbon tape, commonly used for large paper labels.

3. Synthetic paper

PP synthetic paper: slightly uneven surface, suitable for wax based carbon ribbon.

Pearlescent synthetic paper: suitable for wax based carbon ribbon, with good printing effect.

4. Other materials

Aluminum foil paper: suitable for wax based carbon tape, with clear printing effect.

Fluorescent paper: suitable for wax based carbon tape, suitable for labels that require high visibility.

Precautions

Not applicable materials: Wax based carbon tape is not suitable for materials with smooth surfaces, such as PET, PVC, etc. These materials are more suitable for using resin based or mixed based carbon tape.

Environmental requirements: Wax based carbon tape printed labels have low durability and are not suitable for use in high temperature, high humidity, or chemically corrosive environments.

In summary, wax based carbon ribbon is most suitable for paper and synthetic paper with slightly uneven surfaces, with clear printing effects and lower costs, but it is not suitable for environments with high durability or high requirements.
