When buying resin-based ribbons, there are five things to consider, such as which printer to use, what surface to print on, and how long you want the image to last. To understand this, choosing a resin-based ribbon is not a problem. In order to choose the right carbon ribbon and obtain the desired printing effect, the resin carbon ribbon manufacturer will introduce the above 5 points in detail for you, and I hope to help you.
In the width direction: The width of the carbon strip should be greater than or equal to the width of the label paper, and smaller than the printing width of the printer. Depending on the physical size of each printer, the roll length and print width that can be loaded can vary. In addition, the working temperature of the print head and the sensitivity of the ribbon will also affect the printing effect.
Surface: Generally speaking, the surface of coated paper is relatively rough, and waxy or mixed-based carbon tape should be used; the surface of PET paper is relatively smooth, and it should be used together with the carbon tape of resin substrate.
Desired graphic durability: If you want to print a label with good durability, you should choose a resin-based carbon strip. Affordable cost. Generally speaking, the cost of wax ribbon is lower, followed by the cost of mixed-based ribbon, and the cost of resin-based ribbon is higher.
Anti-scratch, anti-scratch, anti-smudge, anti-corrosion, and high temperature resistance requirements for labels. If the label may be frequently scratched, stained, corroded, or exposed to high temperatures, the label should be highly scratch resistant. In this case, you should also choose a resin ribbon or a mixed alkali ribbon.
