Compared to other types of carbon ribbons, what is the cost-effectiveness of enhanced wax based carbon ribbons?

Compared with other types of carbon ribbons, reinforced wax based carbon ribbons have a higher cost-effectiveness. The following is a detailed comparison of the cost-effectiveness between enhanced wax based carbon ribbons and other types of carbon ribbons:

1、 Enhanced wax based carbon ribbon

Characteristic:

Moderate cost: Compared to resin based carbon ribbon, the cost of reinforced wax based carbon ribbon is lower. Although slightly higher than pure wax based carbon ribbon, its performance improvement is sufficient to compensate for this price difference.

Superior performance: Enhanced wax based carbon ribbon adds an appropriate amount of resin component on the basis of ordinary wax based carbon ribbon, usually around 20% resin component, which makes it have better scratch resistance, wear resistance, and printing effect than ordinary wax based carbon ribbon. The printing effect is clear, capable of printing 0.1mm fine lines and 4pt sized Chinese and English characters.

Wide applicability: Suitable for printing on various materials such as copperplate paper, writing paper, bills, etc., it can meet most printing needs.

Strong stability: It performs stably in daily use and is not prone to problems even with large printing volumes.

2、 Other types of carbon ribbons

1. Wax based carbon ribbon

Lowest cost: Using wax and carbon black as the main materials, it is cost-effective and the cheapest type of carbon ribbon on the market.

Printing effect: Suitable for printing on general paper, the printing effect is clear, but the scratch resistance is weak.

Applicable scenarios: Mainly used for printing general text and simple graphics, such as express labels in the logistics industry, supermarket product price labels, etc.

2. Mixed based carbon ribbon (half tree and half wax carbon ribbon)

Moderate cost: Combining the advantages of wax and resin, the cost is slightly higher than wax based carbon ribbon, but lower than resin based carbon ribbon.

Performance balance: It combines the economy of wax based carbon ribbon with the scratch resistance of resin based carbon ribbon, suitable for occasions with certain requirements for printing effect.

Applicable scenarios: Mainly used for printing materials with relatively smooth surfaces, such as labeling for ordinary consumable products.

3. Resin based carbon ribbon

Highest cost: Using resin as the main component results in the highest cost.

Excellent performance: It has excellent scratch resistance, heat resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance, with extremely clear printing effects, and is skilled in fine barcodes and graphics.

Applicable scenarios: Mainly used in situations where high printing quality is required, such as label printing in the electronics industry, chemical product packaging, etc.

3、 Cost effectiveness analysis

Cost effectiveness: Enhanced wax based carbon ribbon is lower in cost than resin based carbon ribbon, but better in performance than ordinary wax based carbon ribbon, achieving a good balance between cost and performance.

Wide applicability: Enhanced wax based carbon ribbon is suitable for various materials and printing needs, and can meet the printing needs of most users.

Strong stability: It performs stably in daily use, reducing production interruptions and cost increases caused by printing failures.

In summary, the enhanced wax based carbon ribbon performs well in terms of cost-effectiveness, with low cost, superior performance, and wide applicability, making it the ideal choice for most users.
