Enhanced mixed carbon ribbon may encounter the following issues during use:
1、 Printing quality issues
Printing is not clear:
Possible reasons: Insufficient concentration adjustment of the print head, incorrect installation of the print head, and quality issues with the carbon ribbon (such as needle holes or bubbles caused by ink not being applied).
Solution: Adjust the print head density, reinstall the print head, and replace the high-quality ribbon.
Wrinkled carbon ribbon:
Possible reasons: There may be issues with the tension control system during cutting or installation of the carbon ribbon, or incorrect temperature settings in the printer, resulting in wrinkling of the carbon ribbon during printing.
Solution: Check the cutting quality and installation method of the carbon ribbon to ensure appropriate tension; Adjust the printer temperature settings.
Carbon ribbon blank:
Possible reason: The carbon ribbon film was not processed properly, resulting in some areas having no ink during printing.
Solution: Replace with high-quality carbon ribbon to ensure complete optical film treatment.
Carbon belt deviation:
Possible reasons: Uneven paper pressure spring and improper adjustment of paper limiter.
Solution: Adjust the paper pressure spring and paper limiter to ensure that the carbon ribbon remains in the correct position during the printing process.
2、 Carbon ribbon consumption and lifespan issues
Carbon ribbon consumption is too fast:
Possible reasons: high print head temperature, high print density setting, poor carbon ribbon quality.
Solution: Reduce the temperature of the print head, adjust the printing density, and replace the high-quality carbon ribbon.
Short lifespan of carbon ribbon:
Possible reasons: Improper storage environment (such as high temperature and humidity), improper cleaning of the printer leading to carbon ribbon contamination.
Solution: Improve the storage environment to ensure that the carbon ribbon is stored at a suitable temperature and humidity; Regularly clean the printer and ribbon channel.
3、 Compatibility issues
Incompatible with printer:
Possible reason: The carbon ribbon type does not match the printer model.
Solution: Replace the carbon ribbon type compatible with the printer.
Incompatible with printing media:
Possible reason: The type of carbon ribbon does not match the surface characteristics of the printing medium.
Solution: Replace the carbon ribbon type compatible with the printing medium.
4、 Other issues
Carbon ribbon fracture:
Possible reasons: Poor quality of carbon ribbon and improper installation leading to excessive tension.
Solution: Replace the high-quality carbon ribbon to ensure correct installation and moderate tension.
Adhesion between carbon tape and washing label:
Possible cause: The printer temperature is too high, causing the washing label to melt and adhere to the carbon tape.
Solution: Lower the print head temperature or reduce the print head pressure to lower the working environment temperature of the printer.
In summary, enhancing the mixed carbon ribbon may encounter various problems during use, but most of these problems can be solved by adjusting printer settings, replacing high-quality carbon ribbons, improving storage environment, and regularly cleaning the printer. When choosing carbon ribbon, it is important to ensure compatibility with the printer and printing media to minimize potential issues.
