How to use paper and ribbon when printing high quality labels

Most of the three types of paper are used in the use of barcode labels.

The first is general paper. The raw materials used include pulp or wood pulp and some chemical materials. The traditional paper can be printed with a trademark on it. At the same time, the quality and price are taken into account. The representative paper is coated paper (used for printing various materials. Color-coded material), molded paper (photocopying paper), tag cardboard, etc.; very suitable for carton stickers and general merchandise stickers, printing is also very easy, use the general printing ink; coated paper surface treatment, so the use of general The quality of the carbon ribbon is sufficient, and the surface of the papermaking and paperboard is rough, and a softer ribbon must be used.

The second type is thermal paper (or thermal paper), which is the same as the fax paper material. It does not need to be directly heated by the ribbon; most people will not feel that the thermal paper is not durable due to the influence of fax paper. It will turn yellow and black, and fear of the sun, early heat-sensitive paper does have such problems, due to scientific and technological progress, the current sense of thermal paper has a level of sensitivity, fax paper is the worst level, usually printed bar code The heat of the heat sensitive paper is relatively high, so it will not be affected by the normal room temperature. Even if the sun is exposed, it will only turn yellow and it will not turn black. Currently, the heat sensitive paper for barcodes can be stored at room temperature. Month or so.

The third is synthetic paper. Synthetic paper is made from petrochemical raw materials. Most of them are made of Tetradol as the basic material. Together with some special formulas of various manufacturers, they can achieve abrasion resistance and scratch resistance. Another material can be used. Made of high temperature resistant and volatile solvents; of course, these are not cheap materials, some synthetic papers will have patents, of course, the use of these papers have its specificity; like wear resistance should be used in the durability of property labels, or Books on the library contain electronic products that are of high value or need repair work. They are all printed on synthetic paper with high abrasion resistance. As for heat resistance, they are used on circuit boards. Volatile solvents are used. In the solvent bucket of the chemical industry, the paper commonly known as XX Dragon requires a special carbon ribbon, and a bar code printer that requires high temperature and high pressure can print it better. It is a ribbon using resin as a material, and is used for surface treatment. There must also be one more step before printing on the surface. The ink used is also different. So the combination of the three ribbons, paper, and bar code printers becomes very important. The high quality bar code labels must be professionally matched to appear. Come.
