Comparative analysis of all resin carbon ribbon and other types of carbon ribbon

There are significant differences between all resin carbon ribbons and other types of carbon ribbons in multiple aspects. The following is a detailed comparative analysis:

1、 All resin carbon ribbon

Characteristic:

Composition: The all resin carbon ribbon is mainly made of synthetic resin, with a high resin content, usually exceeding 50%.

Performance: It has excellent chemical corrosion resistance, scratch resistance, high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, and solvent resistance.

Printing effect: High resolution, clear, vivid, and wear-resistant printing effect, suitable for labels that require long-term durability, such as circuit boards, automotive component labels, etc.

Compatibility: Suitable for various media such as paper labels (glossy coatings), synthetic labels (polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester), special labels (polyimide, acrylic, textiles), and flexible packaging films.

Price: The cost is relatively high, but the long-term cost-effectiveness is significant.

Applicable scenarios:

Suitable for fields with high requirements for printing quality and label usage environment, such as industrial, laboratory, and medical fields.

Suitable for outdoor and high-intensity use environments, such as frozen and hot food packaging, plant labeling, and flexible packaging.

2、 Wax based carbon ribbon

Characteristic:

Ingredients: A product primarily composed of paraffin wax and carbon black as coating materials.

Performance: It has good adhesion to various substrates and is suitable for most ordinary label printing.

Printing effect: The printing quality is good, but the wear resistance and chemical corrosion resistance are poor.

Compatibility: Suitable for ordinary label materials such as rough kraft paper, matte copperplate paper, and glossy copperplate paper.

Price: Low cost, high cost-effectiveness.

Applicable scenarios:

It is mainly used for short-term label printing, such as storage and transportation labels, distribution and Flat noodles labels, product and component bag labels, ordinary signs and logos, etc.

Not suitable for special printing requirements that require high waterproofing and chemical corrosion resistance.

3、 Mixed base (half tree, half wax) carbon ribbon

Characteristic:

Ingredients: Made from a mixture of resin and wax substrate, as well as a mixture of resin and wax ink powder.

Performance: Combining the advantages of resin carbon tape and wax based carbon tape, it has good wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and clear printing effect.

Printing effect: High resolution, excellent printing quality.

Compatibility: Suitable for various printing media, including materials with smooth surfaces.

Price: Between full resin carbon ribbon and wax based carbon ribbon.

Applicable scenarios:

Suitable for situations where there are certain requirements for printing quality, but extreme environmental durability is not necessary.

Such as labeling of ordinary consumable products, logistics management, clothing tags, etc.

4、 Comparative analysis

5、 Summary

Full resin carbon ribbon performs well in special environments and high demand applications due to its excellent chemical resistance, scratch resistance, high resolution, and durability, but the price is relatively high. Wax based carbon ribbon is cost-effective and suitable for short-term label printing, but its wear resistance and chemical corrosion resistance are poor. The hybrid based carbon ribbon combines the advantages of resin based carbon ribbon and wax based carbon ribbon, and is suitable for a variety of printing media. It is moderately priced and is a cost-effective choice. When choosing carbon ribbons, the selection should be based on actual needs and usage environment.
