How to mark the specification and size of the carbon strip of the barcode printer

The specification size of the barcode printer's carbon tape is usually marked by several key parameters to ensure that users can accurately select the carbon tape suitable for their printer model. The following are the parameters commonly used to describe the barcode printer carbon strip specifications and their explanations:

Width:

The width of the carbon belt is one of the most important specifications of the carbon belt and is usually expressed in millimeters (mm) or inches (inch).

The user needs to select the corresponding width of the carbon strip according to the width of the printhead of his printer. If the carbon strip is too narrow, it may lead to incomplete printing; If the carbon strip is too wide, it may waste material and increase costs.

Length:

The length of the carbon belt is usually expressed in meters (m) or feet (ft).

The choice of length specifications depends on the user's printing needs and the frequency of replacing carbon strips. Long roll carbon tape is suitable for users with large printing volumes, while short roll carbon tape is suitable for users with small printing volumes or who need to change carbon tape frequently.

Inner Diameter:

The bore diameter is the diameter of the center hole of the carbon tape reel, usually expressed in millimeters (mm) or inches (inch).

Different printers may require carbon tape reels with different bore diameters. Therefore, when selecting a carbon strip, the user needs to ensure that the inner diameter of the selected carbon strip is compatible with the printer.

Outer Diameter:

Outer diameter refers to the diameter of the entire reel when the carbon tape is fully rolled, again expressed in millimeters (mm) or inches (inch).

While the outside diameter is not a primary concern at the time of purchase, it can help users understand the capacity and printable length of the carbon strip.

Material Type:

The material type of the carbon belt is also an important specification parameter, which determines the printing effect and durability of the carbon belt.

Common material types include wax base, mixed base and resin base. Users need to choose the appropriate material type according to their printing needs (such as print clarity, scratch resistance, high temperature resistance, etc.).

Compatible Printer Models:

Some carbon belt products will clearly indicate the printer model or brand for which they are used.

This is an important reference for users to ensure that the selected carbon tape is compatible with the printer and produces the best print results.

Color:

Although most barcode printer carbon strips are black, there are some special applications that require other colors of carbon strips.

Users need to pay attention to color options when selecting carbon strips to ensure that the selected color meets their printing needs.

In summary, when describing the specification and size of the barcode printer carbon strip, key parameters such as width, length, inner diameter, outer diameter, material type, applicable printer model and color should be clearly marked. This will help users accurately select the right carbon strip product for their printer model and printing needs.
