What are the advantages and disadvantages of mixed base carbon belt

Mixed base carbon strip, as a kind of barcode carbon strip, its advantages and disadvantages are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

advantage

Excellent printing effect:

The mixed base carbon strip combines the advantages of resin and wax, and the printed label effect is clear and delicate, which is suitable for a variety of materials, such as coated paper, synthetic paper, hangtags, clothing labels, etc. These labels not only have a good visual effect, but also can be stored for a long time without fading or blurring.

Good scratch resistance:

Compared with the wax based carbon strip, the mixed based carbon strip has improved scratch resistance. This means that when used for a long time or faced with physical challenges such as scratching, labels printed with mixed base carbon strips can maintain better integrity and clarity.

A wide range of applications:

Mixed base carbon tape can meet the needs of a variety of application scenarios, whether it needs long-term storage labels or requires high print quality, mixed base carbon tape can provide a better solution.

Upgrade product grade:

In some high-end application scenarios, such as clothing tags, jewelry labels, etc., the use of mixed base carbon belts can improve the grade and visual effect of products, and enhance market competitiveness.

Moderate cost:

Compared with all resin based carbon strips, the cost of mixed base carbon strips is lower, which makes it more popular among users who pursue cost-effective.

shortcoming

Limited chemical resistance:

Although the mixed base carbon strip has improved its scratch resistance, its chemical resistance may still not be as good as that of the all-resin base carbon strip. In some scenarios where exposure to chemicals is required, labels printed with mixed base carbon strips may be subject to some degree of erosion.

High requirements for equipment:

Because the mixed base carbon strip combines the components of resin and wax, its melting point may be relatively high. Therefore, higher performance printing equipment may be required to support the printing process to ensure the printing effect and stability. This may put higher requirements on the user's equipment investment.

Storage and transportation conditions should be noted:

In order to maintain the best performance and service life of the mixed base carbon strip, it is necessary to strictly control its storage and transportation conditions. For example, it is necessary to avoid the influence of adverse environmental factors such as high temperature and humidity. This can increase the difficulty and cost of storage and transportation.

Possible quality problems:

In the market, the quality of mixed base carbon bands varies. Some low-quality mixed base carbon strips may contain too much wax and not enough resin, resulting in unsatisfactory printing results or unable to give full play to the advantages of mixed base carbon strips. Therefore, when choosing a mixed base carbon strip, users need to carefully screen the product quality.

In summary, the mixed base carbon strip has advantages in printing effect, scratch resistance, application scope and cost, but it also has disadvantages such as limited chemical resistance, high equipment requirements, storage and transportation conditions need attention, and possible quality problems. Users need to make comprehensive consideration according to specific needs and scenarios when choosing mixed base carbon belts.
