What are the reasons for all resin carbon ribbon wrinkling? How to solve it?

There may be various reasons for the wrinkling of all resin carbon ribbon, and the following are some common reasons and corresponding solutions:

Cause analysis

1. The carbon ribbon is not properly wrapped around the machine:

Improper installation of carbon ribbon, such as looseness, tightness, or incorrect orientation, may cause the ribbon to wrinkle during printing.

2. Incorrect temperature setting:

Setting the printing temperature too high or too low may cause problems with the adhesion between the carbon ribbon and the label, leading to wrinkling of the carbon ribbon.

3. The pressure and balance settings of the print head are incorrect:

Uneven or excessive pressure on the left and right sides of the print head can cause uneven compression of the carbon ribbon during the printing process, resulting in wrinkling.

4. The paper feed rate is not set correctly for the medium:

Incorrect paper feed settings for media (such as label paper) may cause synchronization issues between the carbon ribbon and the label, leading to wrinkling of the carbon ribbon.

5. Carbon ribbon quality issues:

Poor quality all resin carbon tape was used, and its base film may be thin, which can easily cause wrinkles during the printing process.

6. Problems during carbon ribbon cutting process:

The carbon ribbon may have wrinkles during the slitting process, which may be magnified during the printing process, causing the carbon ribbon to wrinkle.

7. Dirty or damaged inside the printer:

The path of the carbon ribbon inside the printer passing through dirt, or scratches or dirt on the baffle in front of the print head, may cause the carbon ribbon to be obstructed during the printing process, resulting in wrinkling.

Solutions

1. Reinstall the carbon ribbon correctly:

Ensure that the carbon ribbon is properly wrapped around the machine, with moderate elasticity and correct orientation.

2. Adjust printing temperature:

Adjust the appropriate printing temperature based on the material of the carbon ribbon and label to ensure moderate adhesion between the carbon ribbon and label.

3. Adjust the pressure and balance of the print head:

Check and adjust the pressure and balance settings of the print head to ensure even pressure on both sides and avoid excessive pressure.

4. Reset the correct paper feed of the medium:

According to the type and size of the medium, reset the correct paper feed of the medium to ensure the synchronization between the carbon ribbon and the label.

5. Replace high-quality carbon ribbon:

Choose high-quality all resin carbon ribbon from well-known brands and avoid using inferior carbon ribbon.

6. Check the cutting quality of carbon ribbon:

When purchasing carbon ribbon, pay attention to checking the cutting quality of the ribbon and avoid using ribbon with wrinkles.

7. Cleaning the interior of the printer:

Regularly clean the path of the carbon ribbon inside the printer and the baffle in front of the print head to ensure that the interior of the printer is clean and free of dirt.

Through the above methods, the problem of wrinkling of all resin carbon ribbons can be effectively solved, improving printing quality and efficiency. If the problem persists, it is recommended to contact the printer manufacturer or professional maintenance personnel for inspection and repair.
