What are the differences in demand for mixed carbon ribbon in different industries?

There are significant differences in the demand for hybrid carbon ribbons among different industries, mainly reflected in printing content, printing environment, label materials, and special requirements for printing quality. The following is a specific analysis of the differences in demand for hybrid carbon ribbons in several major industries:

1、 Office industry

Print content: mainly consisting of text and simple graphics, such as file labels, business cards, asset labels, etc.

Print quality: requires clarity, durability, and moderate color saturation.

Requirement characteristics: Wax based carbon ribbon is commonly used in office environments due to its low cost and clear printing effect. But for some labels that require higher durability, such as asset labels for outdoor use, hybrid carbon tape becomes a better choice. The mixed based carbon ribbon combines the advantages of wax based and resin based carbon ribbons, and has good wear resistance and weather resistance.

Specification requirements: Due to the relatively small printing volume, the length of the carbon ribbon usually does not need to be too long. Common lengths include 300 meters, 600 meters, etc.

2、 Factory manufacturing industry

Printing content: complex and diverse, including product information, barcodes, QR codes, production dates, batch numbers, etc.

Printing quality: The requirements are very high, requiring clarity, durability, and wear resistance to ensure that label information is always readable during production, transportation, and storage.

Requirement characteristics: Although resin based carbon tape has become the preferred choice in factory settings due to its extremely high wear resistance, solvent resistance, and high temperature resistance, mixed based carbon tape is also applied in some situations where high printing quality is required but there is no need to rely entirely on resin based carbon tape due to its good versatility and cost-effectiveness.

Specification requirements: Due to the large printing volume, the carbon ribbon length usually needs to be longer, with common lengths of 740 meters, 910 meters, etc.

3、 Medical industry

Print content: including patient information, drug information, medical device identification, etc.

Printing environment: Medical devices often require frequent disinfection, and the ink on the label needs to withstand the test of chemical substances such as ethanol solution.

Requirement characteristics: The medical industry has extremely high requirements for the wear resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and printing effect of labels. Hybrid carbon ribbon has become the preferred choice in the medical industry due to its excellent performance, such as scratch resistance, wear resistance, and adaptability to printing on various materials (such as copperplate paper, synthetic materials, etc.).

Special applications: For example, in the label printing of blood transfusion bags, mixed carbon tape can ensure that the label remains intact throughout its entire lifecycle, with clear and long-lasting printing effects.

4、 Food and beverage industry

Printing content: including product identification, production date, shelf life, barcode, etc.

Printing environment: may involve harsh environments such as humidity, high temperature, or low temperature.

Requirement characteristics: The food and beverage industry has high requirements for the waterproof, scratch resistant, and wear-resistant properties of labels. Hybrid carbon ribbon, due to its excellent versatility and cost-effectiveness, can meet these needs and ensure that labels remain clear and visible in various environments.

Market application: Mixed based carbon ribbons are widely used in packaging labels, production date printing, and other aspects of the food and beverage industry.

5、 Other industries

Retail, clothing, finance, electronics companies, and jewelry and eyewear industries: These industries also have certain requirements for the printing quality and durability of labels. Mixed carbon ribbon has also been widely used in these industries due to its excellent color rendering effect, stable quality, and good versatility.

Summarize

The differences in demand for hybrid carbon ribbons among different industries are mainly reflected in printing content, printing environment, label materials, and special requirements for printing quality. When choosing a hybrid carbon ribbon, it is necessary to consider both actual needs and budget comprehensively to ensure that the printing effect meets industry requirements.
