TTO (Thermal Transfer Overprinting, thermal transfer overprinting) high-speed coding carbon tape storage conditions are strict to ensure its stable performance and extended service life. The following are the specific storage conditions:
First, temperature requirements
The storage temperature should be controlled within a certain range to avoid excessive or too low temperature to cause damage to the carbon belt. Generally, the recommended storage temperature is between -5 ° C and 40 ° C. This temperature range helps keep the physical and chemical properties of the carbon belt stable.
Second, humidity requirements
The humidity of the storage environment is also an important factor affecting the performance of the carbon strip. High humidity may cause the carbon strip to absorb moisture, which will affect the printing effect. Too low humidity may make the carbon belt too dry, easy to generate static electricity. Therefore, the recommended storage humidity is 20% to 85% relative humidity.
Third, lighting requirements
Avoid exposing carbon strips to direct sunlight or strong light sources. Prolonged light exposure can cause the carbon strip material to age, reducing its print quality and durability.
Fourth, packaging and sealing
Carbon strips should be stored in their original packaging or sealed containers to prevent dust, impurities, and direct effects of air humidity. Airtight packaging helps keep the carbon strip dry and clean.
Fifth, storage time
As for the storage time of carbon belts, different manufacturers and models of carbon belts may be different. In general, under suitable storage conditions, the shelf life of carbon belts can range from one to three years. However, in order to ensure the best printing results, it is recommended to check the appearance and performance of the carbon strip before use and use it as soon as possible within the shelf life.
Sixth, other precautions
Avoid storing the carbon belt with harmful substances such as chemicals and corrosive gases to prevent the carbon belt from being polluted or damaged.
In the process of handling and storage, it should be handled gently to avoid the carbon belt being squeezed or impacted, so as not to damage the carbon belt core or cause the carbon belt fold.
To sum up, in order to ensure the stability of the performance of the TTO high-speed coding carbon strip and extend the service life, the storage conditions should be strictly controlled within the appropriate temperature, humidity and light range, and appropriate packaging and sealing measures should be taken. At the same time, attention should also be paid to storage time and to avoid contact with harmful substances.
