Mixed base carbon strip printing process carbon strip wrinkle how to do?

The wrinkling of the mixed base carbon strip in the printing process may be caused by a variety of factors. To address this problem, the following are some possible solutions and steps:

1. Check the quality of the carbon strip

Carbon strip aging or quality problems: Long use time or poor storage conditions of the mixed base carbon strip may lead to aging, hardening or deformation, which affects the printing effect. It is recommended to check the service life and storage conditions of the carbon belt, and replace the new high-quality carbon belt if necessary.

2. Adjust the carbon belt tension

Improper tension adjustment: For printers that need to adjust the tension of the carbon strip, ensure that the tension is set correctly. Too much or too little tension can cause the carbon strip to wrinkle. Adjust the carbon strip tension correctly according to the printer's operating manual.

3. Check and adjust the print head pressure

Uneven print head pressure: Uneven pressure at both ends of the print head may also cause the carbon strip to wrinkle. Adjust the print head pressure to equalize by using the pressure adjustment device on the printer, such as the pressure adjustment knob or pressure adjustment screw.

4. Clean the printer

Printer internal dirt: Long time of use or improper maintenance of the printer may lead to internal dirt, such as blockage of the print head, foreign bodies in the path of the carbon belt, etc., which may affect the normal transmission and printing effect of the carbon belt. Clean all parts of the printer regularly, especially the print head and carbon strip path.

5. Check and adjust the print Settings

Temperature setting: Incorrect print temperature setting can also cause the carbon strip to wrinkle. Adjust the printing temperature to the appropriate range according to the printing material requirements and the printer's operating manual.

Paper setting: Ensure that the amount of paper used for media (such as label paper) is set correctly to avoid wrinkled carbon strips due to insufficient or excessive paper supply.

6. Check the carbon belt guide rod

Improper positioning of the guide rod: In some cases, improper positioning of the guide rod of the carbon strip may also cause the carbon strip to wrinkle. By adjusting the position of the guide rod (such as turning the sector with a screwdriver), ensure that the carbon tape remains flat during transmission.

7. Other precautions

Matching carbon tape with label paper: Ensure that the selected mixed base carbon tape matches the material of the label paper to avoid printing problems caused by mismatching.

Consult after-sales service: If the above methods can not solve the problem, it is recommended to contact the printer manufacturer's after-sales service department or professional maintenance personnel for help.

To sum up, it is necessary to check and adjust from many aspects to solve the wrinkling problem in the printing process of mixed base carbon tape. By carefully checking and taking appropriate measures, this problem can usually be effectively solved.
