What should we pay attention to when buying barcode carbon tape? In heat transfer label printing, barcode carbon strip is one of the essential consumables. Enterprises, hospitals, schools, administrative units, etc. Where heat transfer labels need to be printed, barcode carbon strips are required.
1) Choose according to the model of the label printer: the print width of the label printer determines the width of the label paper and the carbon belt. In addition, the coordination between the working temperature of the print head and the sensitivity of the carbon belt will also have a great impact on the final printing effect.
2) Choose according to the type of label paper: the surface of coated paper is rough, so wax or mixed base carbon tape should be used. However, the surface of polyester paper is smooth, so it should be used together with resin carbon tape.
3) Choose according to durability: resin-based carbon belt has good scratch resistance and durability, followed by mixed carbon belt, and wax-based carbon belt has the shortest shelf life.
4) Choose according to budget: wax-based carbon tape has the lowest cost, followed by mixed carbon tape, while resin carbon tape has the highest cost. The same material carbon tape produced by different manufacturers has different cost performance.
5) According to the storage environment: scraping, smearing, corrosion, high temperature, etc. All of this can make labels hard to read.
