Judging the quality of wax based carbon strip can be carried out from the following aspects:
First, appearance inspection
1.Needle holes or bubbles: Observe the surface of the carbon strip for needle holes or bubbles, which are usually caused by uneven ink coating. Pinholes or bubbles can lead to incomplete printing and affect the printing effect.
2.Wrinkles: Check the carbon strip for wrinkles. Wrinkles can be caused by a problem with the tension control system during slitting, which can result in a type-free print in a small area of the carbon belt.
3.Blank area: Check whether the carbon strip has untreated blank areas, which may be caused by improper processing of the light film, which will also affect the printing effect.
4.Paper core: Check whether the inner diameter of the paper core is standard (generally 25.4mm), too large or too small may lead to the carbon strip can not be loaded into the printer or the shaft can not carry the carbon strip. At the same time, pay attention to whether the paper core is running, running will cause broken tape, and the edge is not printed.
Second, performance test
1.Printing effect: Through the actual printing test to determine the printing effect of carbon tape. High-quality wax-based carbon strips produce clear, accurate printing and are not easy to fall off.
2.Durability: Test the properties of the carbon strip such as scratch resistance, chemical solvent resistance and high temperature resistance. These features are particularly important for labels used in harsh environments.
Third, component analysis
Wax-based composition: Confirm whether the wax-based composition in the carbon strip meets the requirements. Shoddy, wax base composition is too high and resin composition is too little, will lead to the failure to show the advantages of the mixed base, affecting the printing effect and service life.
Fourth, supplier reputation
1.Brand reputation: Choose a well-known brand or a high-quality brand proven by the market wax based carbon strip. These brands generally have higher product quality and credibility, which can provide a more reliable user experience.
2.User evaluation: Check the evaluation and use feedback of other users on the brand or model of wax-based carbon belt, and understand the actual use effect and existing problems of the product.
Fifth, other precautions
1.Length check: Ensure that the length of the carbon belt meets the purchase requirements to avoid frequent replacement of the carbon belt due to insufficient length.
2.Packaging and transportation: Check whether the packaging of the carbon belt is intact and whether the temperature is appropriate during transportation to avoid excessive temperature resulting in the carbon belt sticking together.
To sum up, judging the quality of wax-based carbon tape needs to be comprehensively considered from many aspects such as appearance inspection, performance testing, composition analysis, supplier reputation and other precautions. Through careful inspection and testing, you can choose the wax based carbon strip products with reliable quality and cost-effective.
