There are many factors that affect the printing effect of enhanced mixed base carbon strip, and these factors are directly related to the quality of printing. Here are some of the main influencing factors:


1. Carbon strip quality

Component ratio: Increasing the proportion of wax and resin based components in the mixed base carbon strip will directly affect its printing effect. If the proportion of components is unreasonable, such as the wax base component is too high and the resin component is too small, the advantages of the mixed base can not be fully used, resulting in poor printing effect.

Production process: The production process of the carbon strip will also have an impact on its quality. For example, if the ink is not evenly applied, it may cause pinholes (bubbles) in the carbon strip, which affects print clarity.

2. Storage conditions

Temperature and humidity: the enhanced mixed base carbon strip needs to be stored under appropriate temperature and humidity conditions, which is usually recommended to be stored in an environment of -5 ° C to 40 ° C and 20% to 85% humidity, and the storage time should not exceed one year. If the carbon strip is exposed to sunlight or humidity for a long time, it may cause damage to its performance, which in turn affects the printing effect.

3. Printer Settings

Printing temperature: Printing temperature is one of the key factors affecting the printing effect of carbon tape. If the printing temperature is too high, it may cause the carbon tape to stick together or damage the print head; The temperature is too low, it may not be able to fully transfer the ink on the carbon belt to the printing medium, resulting in unclear printing.

Printing speed and pressure: The setting of printing speed and pressure will also affect the printing effect. The appropriate printing speed and pressure can ensure good contact between the carbon strip and the printing medium, so that the ink is uniformly transferred.

4. Print media

Media type: Different printing media have different adaptability to the carbon strip. For example, some carbon strips may be more suitable for printing on coated paper or synthetic materials, while printing on other types of media may be less effective.

Medium surface quality: The surface quality of the medium will also affect the printing effect of the carbon strip. If the surface of the medium is uneven or there are impurities, it may lead to blurred text or images, broken lines and other problems.

5. Operation and maintenance

Installation and use: The correct installation and use of carbon tape is essential to ensure the printing effect. If the carbon belt is improperly installed or damaged during use, it may lead to poor printing results.

Printer maintenance: Regular cleaning and maintenance of the printer is also an important factor to ensure the printing effect. If the print head or other parts are not cleaned for a long time or are seriously damaged, it may affect the normal printing of the carbon belt.


In summary, the factors that affect the printing effect of enhanced mixed base carbon tape include the quality of carbon tape, storage conditions, printer Settings, printing media, and operation and maintenance. In practical applications, these factors need to be considered according to the specific situation to ensure the best printing results.
