How much influence does the printing temperature have on the printing effect of the wax based carbon strip?

The printing temperature has a significant effect on the printing effect of the wax based carbon strip. Here's the breakdown:

First, the relationship between printing temperature and printing quality

1.Low temperature:

Phenomenon: When the printing temperature is set too low, the waxy material in the waxy carbon strip may not be able to melt sufficiently, resulting in poor printing results. Specifically, the printing content is not clear, the color is light or the handwriting is blurred.

Impact: This can affect the readability of the barcode or label, reduce the scanning success rate, and may even lead to information not being correctly identified.

2.Moderate temperature:

Phenomenon: At the appropriate printing temperature, the waxy material in the waxy carbon strip can be uniformly melted and well combined with the printing medium (such as label paper), so as to achieve a clear and durable printing effect.

Impact: This helps to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the barcode or label, improving scanning efficiency and accuracy.

3.High temperature:

Phenomenon: If the printing temperature is set too high, the wax-based carbon strip may melt excessively, resulting in blurring, diffusion, or adhesion of the printed content. In addition, excessive temperatures may also accelerate the wear of the print head and shorten its service life.

Impact: This will not only affect the print quality, but also increase the cost of printing and maintenance difficulty.

Second,Selection and adjustment of printing temperature

1.Initial setup:

Usually, the default printing temperature of the machine is an intermediate value, such as 10 degrees (the exact number may vary by model). Users can make preliminary Settings based on actual printing requirements and label paper material characteristics.

2.Test and adjustment:

Prior to actual printing, a print test is recommended to determine the optimal print temperature. You can find the best setting point by gradually adjusting the print temperature and observing the print effect.

For example, you can first set the temperature to a lower value for printing tests, if the printing effect is not good, then gradually increase the temperature until you achieve a satisfactory printing effect.

3.Note:

When adjusting the printing temperature, it should be avoided to adjust the temperature frequently and greatly to avoid unnecessary damage to the printing head.

At the same time, it should be ensured that the wax-based carbon tape and label paper used have good compatibility and quality stability to ensure the reliability and consistency of the printing effect.

Third, high authority source information

According to the suggestion of a code technology Co., LTD. (source: Bar code scanning gun (Guangzhou Feili Bar Code Technology Co., LTD.)), when testing the printing effect, if the improper temperature setting leads to unclear printing, you can try to adjust the combination of printing speed and temperature to find the best setting. For example, for ordinary coated paper labels and wax-based carbon tape, you can first set the temperature to 8 degrees, adjust the speed to 101.6 mm/second for printing test, and gradually adjust the temperature and speed according to the printing effect.

Fourth,Summary

In summary, the printing temperature has an important effect on the printing effect of the wax based carbon strip. In order to ensure the best printing effect, the user should set and adjust the printing temperature reasonably according to the actual needs and the material characteristics of the label paper. At the same time, pay attention to the selection of reliable quality wax-based carbon tape and label paper, and avoid frequent and large adjustment of the printing temperature to extend the service life of the print head.
