The preservation conditions for enhanced wax based carbon ribbon mainly include the following aspects:
1. Temperature:
It is recommended to store the enhanced wax based carbon ribbon in an environment between 5 ℃ and 35 ℃ to avoid excessively high or low temperatures. Some people believe that wax based carbon ribbons are better stored in low-temperature environments between 3 ℃ and 10 ℃, which helps maintain their performance stability. Regardless of the viewpoint, carbon ribbon should be avoided from being exposed to extreme high or low temperature conditions to avoid affecting its printing effect and service life.
2. Humidity:
The relative humidity should be controlled between 45% and 85%. Maintaining appropriate humidity can prevent carbon ribbon from deteriorating due to moisture or dryness.
3. Illumination:
The enhanced wax based carbon ribbon should be protected from direct sunlight. Long term exposure to sunlight may cause surface aging of carbon ribbons, affecting their printing quality.
4. Ventilation and sealing:
The storage environment should be kept ventilated and dry, avoiding moisture and mold. Meanwhile, the carbon ribbon should be sealed and stored to prevent dust and impurities from entering and maintain its cleanliness.
5. Storage time:
Generally speaking, the shelf life of enhanced wax based carbon ribbon is usually 1 year under suitable storage conditions. However, if the storage environment is very ideal (such as dry, low temperature, sealed, etc.), the actual service life of carbon ribbon may be longer. But to ensure the printing effect, it is recommended to use it within the shelf life as much as possible.
6. Other precautions:
Before use, the appearance and quality of the carbon ribbon should be checked to ensure that it is not damaged or expired.
Used carbon tape can be stored on the original paper core to avoid adhesion or damage.
In summary, the correct storage conditions are crucial for extending the service life of reinforced wax based carbon ribbons and maintaining their printing performance. It is recommended that users store the carbon ribbon properly according to the above conditions and pay attention to inspection and maintenance during use.
