What is the structure of mixed carbon ribbon?

The structure of mixed carbon ribbon typically consists of two or more layers, designed to enhance the overall performance of the ribbon. Specifically, the structural characteristics of mixed carbon ribbon are as follows:

1.Base film layer: High quality polyester (PET) film is usually used as the base film for hybrid carbon ribbons. This material has excellent mechanical strength and thermal stability, ensuring the stability and durability of the carbon ribbon during the printing process.

2.Toner layer: This is the core part of the mixed carbon ribbon, made up of a mixture of wax and resin. The ratio of wax and resin can be adjusted according to specific needs to balance the performance of printing effect, scratch resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and heat resistance. The toner layer may also contain pigments, additives, and other components to further improve the printing performance and durability of the carbon ribbon.

3.Other functional layers: Depending on specific requirements, the mixed carbon ribbon may also include other functional layers, such as release layer, heat-resistant layer, back coating, etc. These layers are typically made of specific materials and have their own unique functions, such as improving the release of carbon ribbon, heat resistance, or protecting print heads.

The multi-layer structure design of the mixed carbon ribbon enables it to maintain high printing sensitivity while possessing good scratch resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and heat resistance. This type of carbon tape combines the advantages of wax based carbon tape and all resin carbon tape, which not only has good printing effect, but also meets the application scenarios with high durability requirements for labels.
