How much does the printing medium with different roughness wear to the wax-based carbon strip?

Printing media with different roughness will have a significant impact on the loss of wax-based carbon strip, but the specific degree of this impact is affected by a variety of factors, including the roughness of the medium, the formulation of wax-based carbon strip, and the performance setting of the printer. Here's a closer look at the problem:

First, the influence of the roughness of the medium

1.Roughness and adhesion:

The surface of the printing medium with higher roughness has more small bumps, and these bumps can increase the contact area between the ink and the medium, thereby improving the adhesion of the ink. Therefore, when using wax-based carbon strips on a medium with higher roughness, less ink may be required to achieve the desired printing effect, thereby reducing the loss of carbon strips.

On the contrary, if the surface of the medium is too smooth, the ink may be difficult to firmly adhere to the medium, resulting in poor printing results, and even the need to increase the amount of carbon tape to compensate for the lack of adhesion.

2.Print density and clarity:

Roughness also affects the density and sharpness of the print. When printing on medium with moderate roughness, the wax-based carbon strip can transfer the ink evenly, resulting in a clear, dense printing effect. When printing on too rough or smooth media, there may be problems such as uneven printing, blurring or broken lines, which may need to be solved by increasing the amount of carbon tape or adjusting the printer Settings.

Second, other influencing factors

1.Carbon strip formula:

The formulation of the wax-based carbon strip has an important effect on its performance in different roughness media. Some formulations of wax-based carbon strips may be more suitable for printing on media with specific roughness to achieve the best printing results and the lowest carbon strip loss.

2.Printer performance Settings:

The temperature, pressure, speed and other performance Settings of the printer will also affect the loss of the wax-based carbon strip on different roughness media. Reasonable setting can reduce the waste of carbon belt and improve the printing efficiency and quality.

Third, quantification of specific wear and tear degree

Due to the complex interaction between printing media with different roughness, the formula of wax-based carbon strip and the performance setting of the printer, it is difficult to give a specific quantitative index to describe the degree of influence of different roughness media on wax-based carbon strip loss. However, this effect can be roughly assessed through experimental comparisons or actual use experience.

Fourth, conclusion

In summary, printing media with different roughness have a significant effect on the loss of wax-based carbon strip. In practical applications, the most suitable combination of carbon tape and printing parameters should be selected according to the roughness of the medium, the formula of the wax based carbon tape and the performance Settings of the printer, so as to achieve the best printing effect and the lowest carbon strip loss. If possible, it is recommended that practical tests be carried out to assess the depletion of the carbon bands under different conditions.
