What are the precautions for the use of carbon belts?

When using carbon strips, there are several important considerations that can help ensure print quality and extend the service life of the carbon strip:

Printer compatibility: Make sure the width of the carbon tape is appropriate for your printer and matches the printer's maximum print width1.

Surface compatibility: Select the appropriate carbon strip type based on the surface of the printed material. For example, coated paper is suitable for using wax - or mixed - based carbon strips, while PET paper is more suitable for resin-based carbon strips 1.

Durability: If the label content that needs to be printed has better durability and readability, resin-based carbon tape 1 should be selected.

Cost considerations: The cost of wax-based carbon strip is the lowest, followed by the mixed carbon strip, and the cost of the resin based carbon strip is the highest.

Durability requirements: If the label is likely to be abraded frequently and needs to have strong scratch resistance, choose resin carbon tape or mixed base carbon tape 1.

Printing speed: high-speed printing should choose a high sensitivity of carbon belt 1.

In addition, there are some storage and maintenance precautions:

Use environment: should be used at 5℃-35℃, 45%-85% relative humidity 2.

Transport environment: Transport at -5℃-45℃, 20%-85% relative humidity, for no more than one month2.

Storage environment: Storage at -5℃-40℃, 20%-85% conditions, not more than one year2.

Avoid direct sunlight and moisture: Direct exposure to sunlight and moisture will damage the carbon belt 2.

Making sure to follow these guidelines can help you use carbon strips more efficiently and maintain print quality. If you have more questions, please continue to consult!
