To improve the printing effect of PET thermal matte silver paper, you can start from the following aspects:
First, choose the right printing material
1. Carbon belt selection:
All resin carbon tape: PET matte silver paper is recommended to use all resin carbon tape when printing with carbon tape. The resin carbon strip has the characteristics of high strength, chemical resistance, water resistance, high temperature resistance and so on, and matches the performance of PET matte silver paper with stain resistance, impermeability and solvent corrosion resistance, and can maintain long-term stability and durability in harsh environments.
Low temperature resin carbon tape: For some specific printer or printing needs, low temperature resin carbon tape is also a good choice. It has the characteristics of high durability, high resolution and high adhesion, which can better adapt to the printing needs of some printers and improve the printing effect and label quality.
Second, adjust the printer Settings
1.Printing concentration: According to the printing effect, adjust the printing concentration of the printer. Too low a concentration may result in unclear print, while too high a concentration may damage the print head or carbon tape.
2.Printing speed: Printing speed is also an important factor affecting the printing effect. Too fast printing speed may lead to insufficient heating of the paper and weak printing characters; Too slow a speed may reduce production efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the printing speed according to the actual situation.
Third, ensure that the printing environment is suitable
1.Temperature and humidity: Keep the printing environment within the appropriate temperature and humidity range to avoid too dry or wet environment on the printing effect.
2.Avoid direct sunlight: Direct exposure to sunlight for a long time may deform or deteriorate the carbon strip, affecting the printing effect. Therefore, the printer and the carbon strip should be placed in a position that avoids direct sunlight.
Fourth, maintain the printer regularly
1.Clean the print head: Long-term use or ambient dust, the print head may be contaminated, resulting in weak print. At this time, you need to clean the print head, you can use a cotton swab dipped in a small amount of alcohol or detergent gently wipe.
2.Replace consumables: Regularly check and replace aging carbon strips and thermal paper to ensure stable print quality.
Fifth, pay attention to operation details
Proper installation of the carbon belt: Properly install the carbon belt according to the printer's instructions to ensure good contact between the carbon belt and the print head and drum.
Check the printer status: Check whether the printer is in normal condition before printing, such as whether the ink cartridge is sufficient, whether the paper is placed correctly, etc.
In summary, through the selection of appropriate printing materials, adjust the printer Settings, ensure that the printing environment is suitable, regular maintenance of the printer and pay attention to operational details and other aspects of the effort, you can effectively improve the printing effect of PET thermal matte silver paper.
