What is the difference between Wax/Resin Ribbon and graphite-based carbon ribbon

The difference between Wax/Resin Ribbon and graphite-based carbon ribbon can be summarized in the following aspects:

Composition:

Wax/Resin Ribbon: mainly composed of wax and resin as the main coating material. The ratio of mixing varies according to the specific needs, and this carbon strip combines the advantages of wax and resin bases.

Graphite based carbon strip: its main components are graphite and resin. Graphite has good electrical conductivity and wear resistance, which makes graphite-based carbon strips advantageous in specific applications.

Performance characteristics:

Wax/Resin Ribbon: high temperature resistance, stain resistance, heat resistance, friction resistance, corrosion resistance. It can meet the needs of different materials to be printed, and has high resolution, suitable for printing standard and rotary bar codes. In addition, the Wax/Resin Ribbon has an anti-static back coating to protect the print head.

Graphite-based carbon strips: Due to the good electrical conductivity and wear resistance of graphite, graphite-based carbon strips perform well in applications that require electrical conductivity or wear resistance. In addition, it also has the advantage of light weight, suitable for a variety of printing equipment.

Application field:

Wax/Resin Ribbon: widely used in transportation industry, shelf label, retail label, product label, electronic label, logistics industry, sign identification system, horticulture industry, etc. It can adapt to a variety of different printing materials, such as paper, PVC, tags, labels and so on.

Graphite based carbon tape: Due to its electrical conductivity and wear resistance, graphite based carbon tape is widely used in industries that require these characteristics, such as printers, fax machines, copiers and other equipment.

Price:

The price of Wax/Resin Ribbon is usually between wax and resin ribbon, the specific price will be affected by the brand, quality, specifications and other factors.

The price of graphite-based carbon strips may vary depending on the cost of the material and the complexity of the production process, but in general, it is likely to be in the middle to high end of the price range.

In summary, Wax/Resin Ribbon and graphitic carbon ribbon differ in terms of composition, performance characteristics, application areas and price. Which carbon strip you choose depends on factors such as your specific printing needs, budget, and industry application.
