What is the difference between the mixed base carbon bands of outer carbon and inner carbon?

The mixed base carbon strips of outer carbon and inner carbon differ in many aspects, which are mainly reflected in the location of the toner layer, print quality, consumable life, print speed and storage stability.

Toner layer location

Outer carbon mixing base carbon belt: The toner layer is located on the surface of the substrate. This design leaves the toner layer directly exposed to the air and vulnerable to environmental factors.

Inner carbon mixed base carbon strip: A layer of toner is wrapped inside the base material. This design effectively protects the toner layer and reduces the possibility of interference by the external environment.

Print quality

Outer carbon mixed base carbon strip: Although the outer carbon carbon strip may have certain advantages in printing speed, its print quality may be affected by the stability of the toner layer, especially in the case of long-term storage or large changes in ambient humidity.

Inner carbon mixed base strip: Since the toner layer is protected by the substrate, the inner carbon strip usually provides higher print quality. The toner layer is not easy to peel off, and the clarity of the printing is also higher, suitable for occasions where high-quality printing is required.

Consumable life

Outer carbon mixed base carbon strip: Consumables may have a relatively short life because the toner layer is directly exposed to air and is susceptible to contamination and wear.

Internal carbon mixed base carbon strip: consumables have a long life, because the toner layer is effectively protected, reducing unnecessary wear and consumption. This helps to reduce the frequency of changing carbon strips and improve printing efficiency.

Print speed

Outer carbon mixed base carbon strip: Since the toner layer is on the surface of the substrate, friction may be less during printing, which helps achieve higher printing speeds. However, this does not mean that all outer carbon strips have high-speed printing capability, which needs to be determined by the carbon strip model and printer performance.

Inner carbon mixed base carbon strip: Although the inner carbon design may increase the friction when printing to some extent, modern printer technology has been able to handle this difference well. Therefore, the difference between the inner and outer carbon bands may not be significant in terms of printing speed.

Memory stability

Outer carbon mixed base carbon belt: Storage stability may be affected by the exposure of the toner layer to air. Long-term storage or changes in ambient humidity may cause the quality of the toner layer to decline, thus affecting the printing effect.

Inner carbon mixed base carbon strip: Since the toner layer is effectively protected by the substrate, the inner carbon carbon strip usually has better storage stability. This helps to ensure that the carbon strip will maintain good printing performance after a long period of storage.

In summary, the mixed base carbon strip of outer carbon and inner carbon has obvious differences in toner layer location, print quality, consumable life, print speed and storage stability. When choosing carbon belts, users should consider these factors according to their actual needs and printer performance.
