barcode is one of the necessary supplies for zebra thermal transfer printer. Many customers do not know how to choose when choosing barcode. Today, we specially arrange the matters needing attention when choosing Zebra printer barcode and make the following reply.When buying barcode, it is usually necessary to determine the color base (wax base, mixed base or resin base), the width and length of the barcode, the color, roll direction and axis of the barcode.
In order to select the appropriate carbon belt and obtain the best printing effect, the following aspects should be considered:
1. What kind of printer is it on?
In the heat transfer printing mode, barcode and label paper are consumed synchronously in the length direction. As for the width direction, the width of barcode should be greater than or equal to the width of label paper and less than the maximum printing width of the printer.
Due to the different physical sizes of each printer, the maximum roll length that can be loaded and the maximum width that can be printed vary.
In addition, the working temperature of the print head and the sensitivity of the barcode will also have a great impact on the final printing effect.
2. On what surface?
Generally speaking, coated paper surface is relatively rough, should be used with wax-based or mix-based carbon belt;And PET paper surface is smooth, should be used with resin based carbon belt.
3. Desired graph durability?
If you want to print out the label content with good durability, you should choose resin based barcode.
4. Affordable costs?
Generally speaking, the cost of wax-based carbon belt is the lowest, the cost of mix-based carbon belt is the next, and the cost of resin-based carbon belt is the highest.
5, label scratch resistance, scratch resistance, resistance to smear, corrosion resistance, high temperature and other requirements?
If the label in scratch resistance, smearing resistance, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance may often be rubbed, the label needs to have a strong scratch resistance, then also should choose resin carbon belt or mixed carbon belt.
6. At what speed do you print?
In the case of high-speed printing, the barcode with high sensitivity should be selected.
