Which printing materials are the wax-based carbon strips suitable for?

Wax-based carbon tape has been widely used in specific fields because of its economical value and certain printing effect. It is mainly suitable for the following printing materials:

1.Coated paper: Coated paper is one of the most common printing materials for wax-based carbon tape. Because its surface is relatively smooth and has a certain ink absorption, the wax based carbon strip can be better attached to the coated paper to achieve a clear printing effect. Although the scratch resistance of the wax-based carbon strip is relatively weak, it is enough to meet the needs of general basic text labels.

2.Synthetic paper: Synthetic paper is a synthetic material that simulates paper and has properties such as water, oil and tear resistance. Wax-based carbon tape is also suitable for printing synthetic paper, especially in some cases where the durability of the label is not particularly high.

3.Writing paper: Writing paper is usually used for writing or printing daily documents, and its surface texture and ink absorption are also suitable for printing wax-based carbon strips. However, it is important to note that wax-based carbon tape may not be as scratch-resistant on writing paper as other more advanced carbon tape types, so other options may need to be considered in situations where long-term storage or frequent contact is required.

4.Other materials with slightly convex surfaces: In addition to the above common printing materials, wax-based carbon strips are also suitable for some materials with slightly convex surfaces. These materials require the carbon strip to have a certain adhesion and ductility in the printing process, and the wax-based carbon strip can meet these needs to a certain extent due to the characteristics of its wax composition.

However, it is important to note that wax-based carbon strips are not suitable for all types of printing materials. Especially for those materials with smooth surfaces that are not easy to absorb ink (such as PET, PVC and other plastic materials), the printing effect of wax-based carbon tape may be greatly reduced. In these cases, it may be necessary to consider using more advanced types of carbon bands such as mixed or resin-based carbon bands.

In summary, wax-based carbon tape is mainly suitable for coated paper, synthetic paper, writing paper and other materials with slightly convex surfaces, and in some occasions where the durability requirements for labels are not particularly high. When selecting carbon belts, it is necessary to consider them comprehensively according to the specific printing material and needs.
