Classification and Application of Carbon Ribbon
Edit： Click： Times Date：2026-10-27
Carbon ribbon is a very important material for printing. Generally speaking, the quality of carbon ribbon not only determines the lifespan of the print head but also affects the printing effect. A good carbon ribbon can protect the print head and produce an effect that can accurately adhere to the paper without spreading or falling off easily.
The main components of carbon ribbon can be simply classified into the following three types based on their materials:
1. Wax based carbon ribbon: a product primarily composed of wax and carbon black (assuming black carbon ribbon) as coating materials. Wax based carbon tape is the most economical and inexpensive carbon tape, mainly used for printing on general paper. When using wax based carbon tape, attention must be paid to its compatibility with the paper. Wax based carbon tape is used for materials with slightly uneven surface feel, and is not suitable for products with smooth surfaces such as PET.
2. Resin carbon tape: If the printed material must be resistant to solvents, high temperatures, etc., used for chemical product packaging, or must be resistant to high temperatures, used for electrical heating parts, or must be printed on special chemical products such as PET, it is recommended to use resin carbon tape because the composition of resin materials can meet the above requirements. However, this type of carbon tape is usually expensive, but the printing effect still needs to be matched with paper/printing media to achieve the best printing level.
3. Half fat and half wax carbon ribbon: a product mainly composed of wax and resin mixed as coating materials. The mixing ratio varies as needed and is mainly used for materials with relatively smooth surfaces. It is generally suitable for products with strict surface requirements, such as the labeling of ordinary consumable products, which is made by combining the advantages of the two types of carbon ribbons listed above.
4. Washed cloth carbon tape: excellent scratch resistance, smearing resistance, and resistance to chemicals such as alcohol; Durable to washing, maintaining clear images even after being washed with detergent (including dry cleaning); After ironing at a high temperature of 150 ℃, the excellent quality becomes even more apparent. When printing continuously, there is no adhesion of water washed labels.
Eli carbon ribbon
Eli's high-quality carbon ribbon is produced in France and cut in Malaysia. High quality carbon ribbon prints exquisite effects and has high scratch resistance; The specially made back coating can also protect the print head and reduce static electricity generation. Aili Carbon comes in different width options and can be customized according to needs. And different colored carbon ribbons are used in combination.
deposit:
To ensure the best performance, please use, transport, and store the carbon ribbon according to the following environmental requirements
Operating environment: 5 ℃ ~35 ℃, relative humidity of 45% ~85%
Transportation environment: -5 ℃~45 ℃, relative humidity of 20% ~85%, time not exceeding one month
Storage environment: -5 ℃~40 ℃, stored under 20% ~85% conditions, not exceeding one year
Attention: Directly exposing the carbon ribbon to sunlight and humid environments will cause damage to the ribbon
