What are the factors that affect the properties of the mixed base carbon strip?

The factors affecting the performance of the mixed base carbon strip mainly include the following aspects:

1. Ink composition and coating uniformity

Ink composition: The mixed base carbon strip usually contains resin and wax based components, and the ratio of these two components will directly affect the printing effect and durability of the carbon strip. The addition of the resin composition improves the scratch resistance and chemical resistance of the carbon strip, while the wax-based composition helps improve the smoothness and color saturation of the print.

Coating uniformity: The coating uniformity of the ink on the carbon belt is crucial. If the ink is not evenly coated, it may cause pinholes (bubbles) in the carbon belt, which will affect the integrity of the text when printing.

2. Cutting and tension control

Slitting process: In the slitting process of the carbon strip, the stability of the tension control system directly affects the flatness of the carbon strip. If the tension is not properly controlled, it may cause the carbon strip to wrinkle, and then a small area will not print clearly when printing.

3. Paper core specifications and winding tightness

Paper core inner diameter tolerance: The inner diameter tolerance of the carbon strip paper core must be controlled within a reasonable range, too large or too small may lead to the carbon strip can not be successfully loaded into the printer or the shaft can not afford the carbon belt.

Winding tightness: The winding tightness of the carbon strip during processing will also affect its performance. Too tight winding may lead to increased resistance during the operation of the carbon belt, which cannot be well matched with the printer; Loose winding may cause the carbon strip to slip or shift during operation.

4. Temperature condition

Transport and storage temperature: the mixed base carbon belt is more sensitive to temperature. During transportation and storage, if the temperature is too high, it may cause the carbon tape to stick together, affecting the use effect. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the carbon strips are transported and stored at suitable temperature conditions.

5. Product quality and shoddy problems

Product quality: The quality of the mixed base carbon strip is directly related to its performance. High-quality mixed base carbon strips usually have better printing results and durability.

Shoddy phenomenon: there are some bad merchants on the market to shoddy, by increasing the wax component and reducing the resin component to reduce costs. This approach will seriously affect the performance of the mixed base carbon strip, so that it can not give full play to its due advantages.

In summary, the factors affecting the performance of the mixed base carbon strip involve ink composition and coating uniformity, slitting and tension control, paper core specifications and winding tightness, temperature conditions and product quality and shoddy problems. When purchasing and using mixed base carbon strips, these factors need to be taken into account to ensure the best printing results and durability.
