What are the common problems in the printing process of enhanced wax-based carbon tape?
The common problems in the printing process of enhanced wax-based carbon tape mainly include the following aspects:
1. The print is not clear or does not color
Improper surface treatment of coated paper: the gloss of the surface of coated paper is not enough or is not treated well, which will cause the toner to be unable to effectively adhere to the surface of the paper, resulting in unclear printing or no color.
Carbon tape or print head problems: Damage or aging of the carbon tape, as well as damage to the print head or incorrect installation, can affect the normal transfer of toner, resulting in poor printing results.
Toner quality problems: toner quality is poor or expired, will lose activity, thus affecting the printing effect.
2. The carbon belt wrinkles or breaks
Slitting tension control problems: During the slitting process of the carbon strip, if the tension control system has a problem, it may cause the carbon strip to wrinkle, and then there is no word in a small area when printing.
Improper winding tightness: When the carbon belt is wrapped too tight or too loose during processing, it will also cause the carbon belt to be unable to match perfectly with the printer during operation, and even break.
3. The carbon strip is adhered to the medium
Print head temperature is too high: In some cases, the print head temperature is too high may cause the carbon strip and the printing medium (such as paper) to stick together, affecting the printing effect.
Improper media setting: The media (such as paper) is not correctly set the amount or type of paper, which may also cause the carbon tape to adhere to the media.
4. Installation and compatibility problems
Carbon tape installation error: Carbon tape installation is not correct, such as not properly wrapped around the machine, may lead to paper skipping, deviation or paper jam during the printing process.
Printer compatibility problems: Some printers have certain requirements for the compatibility of carbon belts, and the use of incompatible carbon belts may affect the printing effect or lead to printer failure.
5. Other common problems
Paper core inner diameter problem: The inner diameter tolerance of the carbon strip paper core is too large or too small, which may cause the carbon strip to be unable to be successfully loaded into the printer or the shaft cannot afford the carbon strip.
Transportation and storage problems: During transportation or storage, if the temperature is too high, the carbon belt may stick together; At the same time, long-term storage may also lead to the aging of the carbon strip, affecting the printing effect.
To solve the above problems, the following measures can be taken:
