Basic introduction of mixed carbon ribbon

Mixed carbon ribbon is a consumable widely used in barcode printers and label printers. Its basic introduction is as follows:

1、 Definition and composition

Mixed carbon ribbon is a product mainly made of wax and resin as coating materials. This type of carbon ribbon usually contains a high proportion of resin component raw materials, and the mixing ratio varies according to specific needs. Most mixed carbon ribbons consist of two or more layers, with one side coated with mixed ink (i.e. a mixture of wax and resin) and the other side coated with lubricant to prevent wear of the print head.

2、 Features and advantages

High melting point: Due to its high proportion of resin components, the mixed carbon ribbon has a high melting point. This means that a higher energy level is required during the printing process to melt and transfer it onto the label.

Excellent printing effect: The hybrid carbon ribbon combines the advantages of wax based carbon ribbon and resin based carbon ribbon, thus having excellent printing effect. It can produce clear and delicate printed images, suitable for application scenarios that require high printing quality.

Scratch and corrosion resistance: Due to the harder resin composition than wax, the graphics printed on mixed carbon ribbon have better scratch and corrosion resistance. This makes it particularly suitable for labels that require long-term storage or exposure to harsh environments.

Suitable for multiple printing materials: Mixed carbon ribbon can adapt to various printing materials, including paper, plastic, metal, etc. This makes it widely used in multiple industries.

3、 Application scenarios

Hybrid carbon ribbon is mainly used in scenarios that require high printing quality and durability. For example:

Labeling of ordinary consumable products, such as food packaging, drug labels, etc.

Tags that require long-term preservation, such as library book tags, fixed asset tags, etc.

Scenarios that require high printing quality, such as high-precision barcode printing and high-quality image printing.

4、 Precautions

Choose the appropriate model: Select the appropriate mixed carbon ribbon based on specific printing requirements and printer model.

Storage conditions: The mixed carbon ribbon should be stored in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight and high temperatures.

Usage: When using mixed carbon ribbon, follow the printer's operating instructions to ensure proper installation and use.

In summary, mixed carbon ribbon is a barcode printer consumable with excellent printing performance and durability. It combines the advantages of wax based carbon ribbon and resin based carbon ribbon, and is suitable for a variety of printing materials and application scenarios. When selecting and using, consideration should be given to specific needs and printer models.
