What are the possible issues that may occur during the printing process of enhanced hybrid carbon ribbon?

The possible problems that may occur during the printing process of enhanced hybrid carbon ribbon mainly include the following aspects:

1. Printing is not clear:

Poor quality, blurriness, and burrs may occur.

Possible reasons include improper adjustment of printing density, incorrect installation of print heads, uneven coating of carbon ribbon, inaccurate tension of carbon ribbon supply shaft or rewind shaft, and carbon ribbon printing times approaching its lifespan.

The solutions include adjusting the printing density, reinstalling the print head, replacing the uniform carbon ribbon, adjusting the tension of the carbon ribbon supply shaft or rewinding shaft, and replacing the carbon ribbon with a new one.

2. Carbon belt deviation:

Possible reasons may include uneven paper pressure springs and improper adjustment of the paper limiter according to the label width.

The solution is to adjust the paper pressure spring and paper limiter.

3. The printed label has fine lines:

Possible cause is a print head issue.

The solution includes cleaning the print head. If it cannot be solved, it may be due to damage to the print head or data cable, and the dealer needs to be contacted for after-sales processing.

4. Stick the carbon ribbon and washing label together:

This problem mainly occurs when printing washing labels, and some barcode printer models may have this issue.

The reason is that the printed material melts and sticks to the carbon tape.

The solutions include lowering the print head temperature, reducing print head pressure, and lowering the working environment temperature of the printer.

5. Carbon ribbon wrinkling:

Possible reasons include incorrect wrapping of carbon ribbon around the machine, incorrect temperature settings, incorrect print head pressure and balance settings, etc.

The solution includes reinstalling the ribbon correctly, adjusting the printing temperature, and resetting the small pressure required for printing.

6. Paper skipping during printing process:

Possible reasons may include printer settings not matching the actual label specifications, label paper quality not meeting requirements, unclean print heads, paper jams or foreign objects in the label feed position, etc.

The solution includes ensuring that the label specifications are consistent with the printer requirements, replacing better quality label paper, regularly cleaning the print head, and checking and ensuring that the label feed position is clean and unobstructed.

7. During the printing process, the label may deviate or get stuck:

Possible reasons include the label paper not being fixed with a baffle, incorrect size settings for the label paper in the printing software, etc.

The solution includes checking whether the label paper is installed properly and fixing it with a baffle, adjusting the label paper specification settings in the printing software, etc.

8. When printing, the label goes but the carbon ribbon does not:

Possible reasons include incorrect printer printing mode settings (such as not changing the printing mode in a timely manner for printers suitable for thermal transfer and thermal printing), incorrect installation of carbon ribbon, and insufficient friction caused by poor carbon ribbon quality.

The solution includes ensuring that the printing method is set correctly, reinstalling the ribbon correctly, and replacing it with a better quality ribbon.

In addition, other issues may arise, such as sensor dust causing the inability to detect carbon ribbons properly. Solutions include cleaning the sensor.

In summary, various issues may arise during the printing process of enhanced hybrid carbon ribbons, which need to be analyzed and resolved based on specific circumstances. When using carbon ribbon, it is recommended to pay attention to its quality, compatibility, installation, and environmental factors to extend its service life and improve printing quality.
