What is the principle of all resin carbon tape printing technology?

The printing principle of all resin carbon tape is mainly based on thermal transfer technology. Here's a detailed explanation:

Principle of heat transfer technology

Thermal transfer technology is a printing method that transfers toner or resin from a carbon strip to a medium (such as label paper, plastic, etc.) by heating. In this process, the carbon strip passes through the printer's print head along with the medium. Inside the printhead is a series of ceramic heating elements that control the temperature very precisely.

Features of all resin carbon belts

The all-resin carbon strip is mainly made of resin material, which has high strength, chemical resistance, water resistance, high temperature resistance and other characteristics. In the thermal transfer process, the all-resin carbon strip can provide a clearer, more vivid and more wear-resistant printing effect, ensuring that the label information will not be blurred or faded over a long period of use.

Details of the printing process

1.Carbon tape and media preparation: The all-resin carbon tape is mounted on the printer's carbon tape supply shaft, while the media (such as label paper) is placed in the printer's media supply area.

2.Heating and pressure action: When the printer receives a print command, the ceramic heating element quickly heats up to a preset temperature. At the same time, the printer will apply a certain pressure, so that the carbon belt and the medium are in close contact.

3.Toner or resin transfer: As the carbon strip and medium pass through the heated area, the resin layer of the all-resin carbon strip is heated and softened. Under the action of pressure, the softened resin is transferred from the carbon strip to the surface of the medium, forming the desired text and pattern.

4.Cooling and curing: The resin layer transferred to the medium is quickly cooled and cured after leaving the heated area, thus firmly attached to the medium.

Matters needing attention

Temperature control: The temperature of the heating element needs to be precisely controlled during the printing process to ensure that the resin can be properly softened and transferred, while avoiding excessive temperature resulting in damage to the medium.

Pressure regulation: Proper pressure helps the resin transfer to the medium better, but too much pressure may cause damage to the print head or the medium.

Speed matching: The moving speed of the carbon strip and medium needs to match the heating speed of the print head to ensure stability and consistency of the print quality.

To sum up, the printing principle of the all-resin carbon strip is based on thermal transfer technology, and the resin layer of the carbon strip is transferred to the medium through precise control of parameters such as temperature, pressure and speed, so as to achieve a clear, bright and wear-resistant printing effect. This technology has been widely used in many industries such as clothing, retail and logistics.
