What are the preservation conditions and shelf life of TTO high-speed coding carbon belt?

About the storage conditions and shelf life of the TTO (Thermal Transfer Overprinter) high-speed coding carbon belt, the following is some detailed information:

Preservation condition

1.Temperature and humidity:

Recommended use environment: It is recommended to use TTO carbon belt under the conditions of 5℃-35℃ and 45%-85% relative humidity to ensure the best printing effect.

Transportation environment: During the transportation process, it is recommended to carry out at -5℃-45℃ and 20%-85% relative humidity conditions, and the transportation time is not recommended to exceed one month.

Storage environment: For long-term storage, it should be carried out under the conditions of -5℃-40℃ and 20%-85% relative humidity, and the maximum storage time is not recommended to exceed one year.

2.Other points to note:

Avoid exposing carbon strips to high temperatures, high humidity, or extreme temperature changes to prevent adhesion, deformation, or performance degradation.

Prevent the carbon belt from being directly exposed to sunlight or rain, so as not to damage the carbon belt.

When stored, the packaging of the carbon belt should be kept intact to avoid dust and impurities polluting the surface of the carbon belt.

Shelf life

Different sources give different information about the shelf life of the TTO high speed coding carbon strip. Some sources indicate that the shelf life of carbon belts is generally 1-2 years (this may refer to the shelf life of wax-based carbon belts or mixed carbon belts), while resin carbon belts and washed carbon belts can be retained for longer, up to 5 to 10 years. However, the shelf life of the carbon strip specific to the TTO high-speed coding may vary depending on the brand, model and storage conditions.

Therefore, when purchasing TTO high-speed coding carbon tape, it is recommended to check the shelf life label on the product packaging, and properly store the carbon tape according to the storage conditions in the product manual. At the same time, near the end of the shelf life, it is recommended to first print tests to check whether the printing effect of the carbon strip still meets the requirements. If the print effect is good, you can consider continuing to use; If the printing effect decreases significantly, the new carbon belt should be replaced in time.

In general, the correct storage conditions and attention to shelf life are important factors to ensure the stability of TTO high-speed coding carbon tape printing effect. In actual use, the requirements and suggestions in the product manual should be strictly followed.
