How to choose cost-effective TTO high-speed coding carbon tape?

When choosing a cost-effective TTO (Thermal Transfer Overprinting) high-speed coding carbon belt, you can consider it from the following aspects:

First, clarify the needs

1.Printer compatibility: First make sure the selected carbon tape is compatible with your TTO high speed coder. Different brands and models of printers may have different requirements for the specifications and types of carbon strips.

2.Print media: Know the type of label or paper you want to print. Common label materials include coated paper, synthetic paper (such as PET, PVC, etc.), matte paper, etc. Different types of media may require different types of carbon bands for the best print results.

3.Printing effect requirements: Consider the printing effect you need, such as clarity, blackness, scratch resistance, chemical resistance, etc. These requirements will directly affect the selection of carbon belts.

4.Print speed: If your printer prints faster, you need to choose a carbon belt that can adapt to high-speed printing to ensure print quality and efficiency.

Second, compare the types of carbon belts

TTO high-speed coding carbon strip is mainly divided into wax based carbon strip, mixed based carbon strip and resin based carbon strip three types, they each have advantages and disadvantages:

1.Wax based carbon strip: Low cost, suitable for general printing needs. However, its wear resistance, scratch resistance and chemical corrosion resistance are relatively poor.

2.Mixed base carbon strip: combines the advantages of wax base and resin base, wear resistance, scratch resistance and printing effect between the two, cost-effective.

3.Resin based carbon strip: best wear resistance, scratch resistance and chemical resistance, suitable for demanding printing scenarios, but the cost is relatively high.

Third, consider the cost performance

1.Price comparison: under the premise of meeting the printing needs, compare the carbon belt prices of different brands and models. Be careful to consider the price advantages that may come with buying in bulk.

2.Performance evaluation: By consulting product descriptions, user evaluations or consulting suppliers, we can understand the actual printing effect, service life and other performance indicators of the carbon belt.

3.Brand reputation: Choose well-known brands and reputable suppliers to ensure the quality and after-sales service of carbon belt.

Fourth, practical application test

If conditions permit, a small number of samples can be purchased for test printing, and the actual printing effect can be used to determine whether the cost performance of the carbon belt meets the expectations.

Fifth, comprehensive consideration

Combining the above factors, choose the TTO high-speed coding carbon belt that best suits your needs. In the pursuit of cost-effective, but also to ensure that the carbon strip can meet your print quality and efficiency requirements.

Please note that since market prices and availability change over time, it is best to double check the relevant information before making a purchase to ensure an informed decision.
