How to properly store all resin carbon ribbon to extend its service life?

To properly store all resin carbon ribbon and extend its service life, the following measures can be taken:

1、 Storage environment

Temperature: It is recommended to store the all resin carbon ribbon in an environment between 5 and 30 degrees Celsius to avoid temperatures that are too high or too low. High temperature may cause the carbon ribbon to melt or adhere, while low temperature may make the carbon ribbon brittle and prone to fracture.

Humidity: Keep the relative humidity of the storage environment between 20% and 85% to avoid moisture absorption or increased static electricity on the carbon ribbon. Excessive humidity may cause the carbon ribbon to become damp, affecting the printing effect; If the humidity is too low, it may increase the static electricity of the carbon ribbon, making it easy to adsorb dust and impurities.

Lighting: Avoid placing the carbon ribbon in direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure to sunlight may cause the ribbon to age and shorten its lifespan.

Ventilation: Maintaining good ventilation in the storage environment helps prevent the carbon ribbon from getting damp and moldy.

2、 Storage methods

Sealed storage: Seal the carbon ribbon in a plastic bag or a dedicated carbon ribbon box to prevent dust, impurities, and chemicals from corroding the carbon ribbon.

Avoid squeezing: When storing carbon ribbon, avoid squeezing or pressing it to prevent deformation or damage to the ribbon.

Raw paper core winding: For used carbon tape, it is recommended to roll it back onto the raw paper core to avoid adhesion or damage to the carbon tape. This helps maintain the flatness and printing effect of the carbon ribbon.

3、 Other precautions

Regular inspection: Regularly inspect the stored carbon ribbon to ensure that its appearance and quality have not changed. If any damage, expiration or moisture is found in the carbon ribbon, it should be dealt with in a timely manner.

First in, first out: When storing and using carbon ribbons, the principle of first in, first out should be followed, and carbon ribbons that are stored first should be prioritized to reduce inventory backlog and expiration risks.

Avoid mixing with other items: Store carbon ribbons separately from other chemicals, flammable materials, etc. to prevent chemical reactions or safety accidents such as fires.

4、 Usage suggestions

Although storage conditions have a significant impact on the service life of carbon ribbons, the correct usage method is equally crucial. When using full resin carbon ribbon, the following points should be noted:

Match printer model: Ensure that the selected ribbon is suitable for your printer model for optimal printing results.

Adjust printing settings: Reasonably set printing parameters such as printing speed, temperature, etc. according to printing needs to reduce the wear and breakage of carbon ribbon.

Regularly clean the printer: Regularly clean the print head, sensors, and other components of the printer to ensure proper operation and reduce wear on the ribbon.

By following the above storage and usage recommendations, the service life of all resin carbon ribbons can be extended, usage costs can be reduced, and printing quality and efficiency can be improved.
