What is the production process for enhancing mixed carbon ribbon?

The production process of enhanced hybrid carbon ribbon mainly includes the following steps:

1、 Basement membrane preparation

Material selection: High quality polyester (PET) film is usually chosen as the base film due to its excellent mechanical strength and thermal stability.

Treatment: The base film needs to be pre treated, such as cleaning and surface activation, to ensure that the toner can firmly adhere to it.

2、 Ink powder coating

Toner preparation: Toner is composed of pigments, resins, waxes, and various additives. Pigments are responsible for providing color, resin, and wax to ensure that toner can be properly transferred and attached to the medium when heated, while additives are used to improve various physical and chemical properties of toner.

Coating process: In a controlled environment, evenly apply the prepared toner onto the base film. This step needs to be carried out in a clean and dust-free environment to avoid impurities affecting the quality of the carbon ribbon.

3、 Drying and solidification

Drying: The coated carbon ribbon needs to undergo a series of drying processes to remove solvents and preliminarily solidify the toner.

Curing: Further solidify the toner to make it more stable and enhance its adhesion to the base film.

4、 Back coating and special layer coating (if necessary)

Back coating: Apply a back coating on the other side of the base film to improve the printing performance and durability of the carbon ribbon.

Special layer: Other special layers such as heat-resistant layer, chemical corrosion resistant layer, etc. can be coated as needed to enhance the specific properties of the carbon ribbon.

5、 Winding and cutting

Winding: Wrap the processed carbon ribbon onto a drum for subsequent use and storage.

Cutting: Cut the carbon ribbon into different width specifications according to customer needs to meet the needs of different models of printers.

6、 Quality inspection and packaging

Quality inspection: Conduct quality inspection on the produced carbon ribbon, including testing of printing effect, durability, adhesion and other indicators.

Packaging: Pack the carbon ribbon that has passed the inspection to ensure that it is not damaged during transportation and storage.

7、 Special processes (such as the use of water-based ink)

Waterborne ink layer coating: In some high-end or special purpose carbon ribbons, water-based ink may be used for coating. Water based ink has the characteristics of good safety, fast drying, and is non-toxic and harmless to the human body.

Multi layer coating and drying: For carbon ribbons using water-based ink, multi-layer coating and drying may be necessary to ensure the uniformity and stability of the ink layer.

Overall, the production process of enhanced hybrid carbon ribbon involves multiple steps and precise control. Each step requires strict quality control to ensure that the performance and quality of the final product meet customer requirements.
