What is the difference between all resin carbon belts and other types of carbon belts?

The main differences between all resin carbon belts and other types of carbon belts are reflected in the material composition, characteristics, application scenarios and prices. Here's a breakdown of these differences:

First, material composition

All-resin carbon strip: Made entirely of resin material, coated with resin-based mylar film on one side and lubricant on the other side to prevent print head wear. This high resin content gives the carbon strip outstanding physical and chemical properties.

Wax based carbon strip: wax and carbon black as the main material, as a coating material products. The cost of this carbon strip is relatively low, and it is suitable for printing on general paper.

Mixed base carbon strip (half fat and half wax carbon strip) : wax and resin mixture as the main material, mixing ratio adjusted according to demand. This carbon strip combines the advantages of wax - and resin-based carbon strips and has a wide range of applicability.

Second, characteristics

1. Print quality:

Full resin carbon belt: The printed information is clear and bright, the writing is sharp and sharp, and the wear resistance is strong, which can ensure that the label information will not be blurred or faded in long-term use.

Wax-based carbon strip: the printing quality is general, suitable for occasions where the printing effect is not high.

Mixed base carbon strip: The print quality is between the two, combining the advantages of both, with high resolution and printing effect.

2. Durability:

Full resin carbon belt: with high strength, chemical resistance, water resistance, high temperature resistance and other characteristics, can withstand longer use in harsh environments.

Wax based carbon tape: Scratch resistance is not strong, not suitable for long-term storage or durable labels.

Mixed base carbon belt: moderate durability, durability will vary according to the mixing ratio.

3. Scope of application:

Full resin carbon belt: suitable for printing PET silver paper, synthetic paper self-adhesive labels and other high-quality materials, widely used in electronics, medicine, food packaging, logistics management and other industries requiring high-quality labels.

Wax-based carbon belt: mainly used for printing general paper, such as food, department stores, warehouses, tickets and other labels.

Mixed base carbon belt: suitable for a variety of printing materials, especially smooth surface materials, such as logistics management, clothing tags and other occasions.

Third, price

Full resin carbon strip: Due to the high cost of materials and complex production process, the price is relatively high.

Wax based carbon strip: Low cost, is an economical choice.

Mixed base carbon belt: moderately priced, somewhere in between.

Fourth, other precautions

When choosing a carbon belt, it is necessary to take into account your printer model, use environment and printing needs. Different carbon belts are suitable for different printing media and scenarios, and selecting the right carbon belt can ensure the best printing effect and equipment life.

The storage and use environment of the carbon belt also needs attention to avoid direct sunlight and humid environment to cause damage to the carbon belt. At the same time, when replacing the carbon belt, attention should be paid to cleaning the print head to ensure the print quality and extend the print head life.

In summary, there are significant differences between resin carbon belts and other types of carbon belts in material composition, characteristics, application scenarios and prices. When selecting the carbon belt, it is necessary to make comprehensive consideration according to the actual demand.
