What are the differences between TTO high-speed coding carbon belt and traditional carbon belt?

TTO high speed code carbon belt (Thermal Transfer Overprinter carbon belt) and traditional carbon belt have significant differences in many aspects. Here's a breakdown of these differences:

First, Working principle and applicable technology

TTO High speed coding carbon tape: Designed for thermal transfer printing technology, especially for "overprinting" or "overprinting" on existing packaging or labels. In the printing process, the print head heats the carbon belt, so that the toner on the carbon belt is melted and transferred to the printing media (such as label paper, film, etc.), so as to realize the printing of the text and text. This technology provides clear, long-lasting printing results and allows individual printing of each package directly on the production line.

Traditional carbon tape: Although it also works through thermal transfer, it may not have the high-speed printing capability and instant printing flexibility of TTO carbon tape. Traditional carbon tape is more widely used in the printing of various labels, barcodes and two-dimensional codes, but it does not necessarily meet the special needs of TTO printing technology for high-speed, high-quality and instant printing.

Second, performance characteristics

1. Printing speed:

TTO high-speed coding carbon belt Traditional carbon belt: supports high-speed printing to meet the high-speed operation needs of the production line.

Traditional carbon tape: Printing speed may vary depending on the model and use, and may not necessarily meet the high speed standards of TTO carbon tape.

2. Print quality:

TTO high-speed coding carbon tape Traditional carbon tape: provides clear, durable printing results, and can transfer ink layers evenly on a variety of flexible packaging materials.

Traditional carbon tape: Print quality varies depending on the type of carbon tape and application environment, and may not perform as well as TTO carbon tape on a particular material.

3. Adaptability:

TTO high-speed coding carbon belt Traditional carbon belt:It has good adaptability and can be printed on different material surfaces, such as film, plastic bag, composite film, etc.

Traditional carbon belt: Adaptability varies depending on the type of carbon belt and the specific application scenario.

4. Durability:

TTO high-speed coding carbon tape Traditional carbon tape: usually has good scratch resistance, oil resistance, water resistance and chemical resistance, ensuring that the printed content is readable throughout the product life cycle.

Traditional carbon belt: Durability varies depending on the type of carbon belt and may not perform as well as TTO carbon belts in some extreme environments.

5. Environmental protection:

TTO high-speed coding carbon belt Traditional carbon belt: With the improvement of environmental protection requirements, more and more TTO carbon belts use environmentally friendly materials.

Traditional carbon belt: Environmental performance varies by belt manufacturer and product type.

Third, Application fields

TTO high-speed coding carbon belt: especially suitable for the packaging industry, especially the printing of date, batch number, bar code, two-dimensional code and other information on flexible packaging materials. Due to its high-speed printing and instant printing capabilities, it is ideal for personalized printing of each package directly on the production line. In addition, TTO carbon belt is also widely used in food, medicine, daily chemical and other industries, where the information durability on the packaging has higher requirements.

Traditional carbon belt: The application field is more extensive, not limited to the packaging industry. It is widely used in labels, bar codes, clothing labels, electronic product labels and other fields. It is used in many industries such as retail industry, logistics industry, medical industry and manufacturing industry.

Fourth, cost and price

TTO high-speed coding carbon belt: due to its special application scenarios and technical requirements, the price is usually relatively high. This is mainly because the TTO carbon strip uses more advanced materials and coating technologies to ensure excellent performance on high-speed printing and flexible packaging materials.

Traditional carbon belt: Prices vary depending on model, quality and market availability. In general, the price of conventional carbon belts may be more affordable and suitable for a wide range of printing needs.

To sum up, TTO high-speed coding carbon belt and traditional carbon belt have significant differences in working principle, performance characteristics, application fields, cost and price. The choice of carbon strip depends on the specific application scenario and requirements.
