The printing medium refers to the materials that the label printer can print. From the shape of the media, there are mainly ribbons, cards, and labels, and from the material, there are paper, synthetic materials, and fabrics. The main material used to determine which carbon ribbon is used is described below:
Paper is divided into high gloss, half gloss and matt according to surface gloss.
* High-gloss: mirror copperplate, glossy paper, etc.
* Semi-gloss: coated paper.
* Matt paper: offset paper.
* Special papers include aluminum foil paper, fluorescent paper, and thermal / thermal transfer paper.
In general, high-gloss paper media is printed with resin-reinforced wax-based carbon ribbons or mixed-based carbon ribbons (R310 and R410), especially mirror coated paper. Although it is called copperplate, the surface is a layer of synthetic material. Should be treated as a synthetic material, use R410 ribbon. The types of ribbons available for semi-gloss paper are resin-reinforced wax-based and general wax-based ribbons (R310 and R313). The matt type can only be printed with R313.
Synthetic materials are divided into:
* PET (Polyester)
* PVC (polyvinyl chloride)
* BOPP (polypropylene)
* PE (polyethylene)
* PS (polypropylene)
* POLYIMIDE (Polymilled vinylamine)
* Metalized PET mainly includes laser rainbow film, brushed film, gold (gloss, matt) silver (gloss, matt).
Compared with paper materials, these materials are stronger and more beautiful, have a wider range of application to the environment, and require higher carbon ribbons. They mainly use mixed-based and resin-based carbon ribbons. The specific type of carbon ribbon depends on the use. According to the requirements and usage environment of the manufacturer, if only anti-friction is required, only R410 can be used. If there are other requirements, such as anti-corrosion and high temperature resistance, R510 should be used, but at this time the label can only use PET (180 ℃) And POLYIMIDE (300 ℃) two materials.
The above is just the general case, but there are many kinds of materials, and there is a big difference between them. In order to obtain a satisfactory printing effect, multiple tests should be carried out according to their respective conditions to find a suitable ribbon.
