What are the types of carbon strips applicable to different types of barcode printers?

The type of ribbon applicable to different types of barcode printers varies according to printing requirements, printing materials, and the specific model of the printer. The following is a summary of the types of carbon strips applicable to different types of barcode printers according to publicly released information:

First, according to the printing demand classification

1.General office printing:

Applicable carbon strip: wax based carbon strip.

Features: economical, the printing effect is clear, suitable for occasions with low printing quality requirements, such as the label used in the office.

2.High durability printing:

Applicable carbon strip: resin based carbon strip or mixed based carbon strip.

Features: Resin based carbon strip has excellent scratch resistance, high temperature resistance, solvent resistance and other properties, suitable for high printing quality requirements, such as chemical product packaging, electrical heating parts. The mixed base carbon strip combines the advantages of wax base and resin base and is suitable for products with strict surface requirements.

Second, according to the printing material classification

1.Ordinary paper:

Applicable carbon strip: wax based carbon strip.

Features: The wax-based carbon belt is well matched with the paper, the printing effect is clear and the cost is low.

2.Smooth surface materials (such as PET, coated materials) :

Applicable carbon strip: resin based carbon strip.

Features: The resin-based carbon strip can be well attached to the material with a smooth surface, and the printed label has strong durability.

3.Material with slightly convex surface:

Applicable carbon strip: wax based carbon strip or mixed based carbon strip.

Features: This type of material can be printed either with wax-based carbon strips for general printing or with mixed base carbon strips for better durability.

Third, according to the printer model classification

Because there are many models of barcode printers, and different manufacturers and different models of printers may have different requirements for carbon strips, it is not possible to generalize. However, in general, the printer manual or manufacturer's recommendation will clearly indicate the applicable type of carbon tape. When selecting the carbon belt, it is recommended to refer to the printer manual or consult the manufacturer's customer service.

Fourth,Special purpose carbon belt

In addition to the above common carbon belts, there are some special purpose carbon belts, such as water wash carbon belts, color carbon belts, high-speed carbon belts, low temperature carbon belts and so on. These carbon strips are suitable for specific printing needs and environmental conditions. For example, washable carbon strips are suitable for label printing that needs to be washed; Color carbon belt can meet the demand for label color; The high-speed carbon belt is suitable for high-speed printing; The low temperature carbon strip can be printed at a lower temperature, reducing the damage to the print head.

In summary, different types of barcode printers are suitable for a variety of carbon strips, the specific selection should be based on printing needs, printing materials and printer models and other factors. When selecting carbon tape, it is recommended to refer to the printer manual, consult the customer service of the manufacturer, or test according to the actual application scenario.
