Needle printer

Needle type printer is a special kind of printer, and ink-jet, laser printers are there is a big difference, and this difference needle type printer are other types of printers can not be replaced, it is precisely because of this, needle type printer always have their own unique market share, in the service of some special industry users.

Needle type printer in the print head is through 24 needle hit the carbon paper, thusforming a font, in use, the user can according to the demand to select multiple paper,commonly used multiple paper 2 joint, 3 joint, 4 joint papers, which have also used the6 associated printer paper. Multiple paper disposable needle type ribbon printer can onlyprint finished quickly, ink jet printer, laser printer is unable to realize the multipleprinting paper.

Basic ----1964 years, Olympiad held in tokyo. At that time, responsible for providingtiming products Epson Corp especially developed crystal chronometer 951 and printtype chronograph. These two products are not only at the time to shine, but also for the future company transformation and diversification brought profound R & D base and opportunity. Development - the world's first PC with mainstream needle type printer

In 1978, Epson Corp issued a needle type epson printer ribbon DFX9000 (pin 7) TP-80, product well received. In 1980, MP-80 (pin 9) published, also caused a sensation in the world for second years, MP-80 in the Japanese market share as high as 60%, in the United States market also received high evaluation, gradually become the mainstream of the world's first needle type epson printer ribbon LQ310   for PC products.

The thermal transfer ribbon type

To adapt to the different was printed materials and durability requirements, thermal transfer ribbons according to the coating materials can be divided into the wax, wax / resin mixture base, resin three.

A) wax: usually has a high density, the degree of Gao Min, used paper labels, printingeffect is good, the cost of economic.

Universal type wax based thermal transfer ribbon is applicable to most of the thermal transfer printer, in the case of low power consumption, high sensitivity can still achievethe ribbon printing density and definition of excellent print speed of up to 200mm/s.Heat resistance: 100 DEG C, print material: coated paper, coated paper, the melting point of 65 DEG C. Enhanced wax based thermal transfer ribbon print speed of up to 250mm/s. The melting point of 80 DEG C.

B) mixed base: both high-quality printing effect and durability, wide application, goodprice effect.

Wax / tree mixed base ribbon with Gao Min sensibility: consumption, delay the printhead life. Heat resistance: 100 DEG C, the printing speed: 250mm /s, print material: coated paper, coated paper, PVC, PET, PE, PP, melting point of 75 DEG C. Side pressure enhanced wax / tree mixed base ribbon is applicable to edge IBM printer ribbon printer arecompatible with many label paper, and has anti fouling characteristics of scratch. Printspeed: 300mm /s, the melting point of 80 DEG C.

C) resin based: the most durable, abrasion resistance, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, some formula can prevent steam pressure, some were able to washing ordry cleaning

Enhanced resin thermal transfer ribbon is suitable for flat TTR printer ribbon print head, in the case of low power consumption, print speed of up to 200mm/s. print resolution up to 200DPIto 300DPI. Heat resistance: 100 DEG C, the printing speed: 200mm/s, print materials: PVC, PET, PE, PP, melting point of 80 DEG C. Side pressure reinforced resin ribbonis applicable to edge type printer. In the case of low power consumption, unique back coating technology, make the printing more flexible and easy, and even do a 90 degree rotation printing. Heat resistance: 180 DEG C, the printing speed: 200mm/s,melting point of 80 DEG C:

The technical index of the thermal transfer ribbon

A, transfer refers to the ink ribbon layer transfer to the percentage of the print medium,ink layer whether 100% fully heat transfer to the print media (plastic, paper, compositefilm and other material), transfer percent much ink.

B, adhesion refers to ink layer print to print media (plastic, paper, composite film and other material) on adhesion fastness and abrasion degree.

C and the definition of transfer ink layer heat to a printing medium, print out the text clear degree, whether or not beautiful.

D, adaptive to ribbon printer  can be in various media (plastic, paper,composite films and other materials) and the production environment (cooking, freezingetc.) in printing, the printing effect can meet the requirements of customers.

E, temperature of thermal transfer ink ribbon in the use of process temperature,fabric ribbon printer characteristics of different causes in actual use temperature is not the same, in different temperature printing effect is also different, only the best printing results, temperature is the best.

The application field of the thermal transfer ribbon and the principle of work

Thermal transfer ribbon is a very wide range of uses, the amount is very hugeproducts. With the development of information technology in China and rapid development of computer application domain unceasing expansion and in-depth,people of high speed, high quality output print demand more and more, and the traditional way of printing market in terms of price, printing quality, printing speed is difficult to meet the user needs in all directions. Thermal Nylon ribbon roll  made of high strength thin films due to the high concentration and ink, and the use of single usemode, so the printing characters of high quality, long service life and overcome the ribbon, inkjet feathering, easily soluble in water and other defects, thermal transfer printing method to print medium without any requirements, can be in plain paper,recycled paper, wax paper, ordinary film, envelopes, paper label until the cloth to achieve high clear print.

Thermal transfer imaging method was invented by Mille in 1953, along with thedevelopment of microelectronic technology, lithography technology, the semiconductor electric heating element technology and laser technology, especially the development of high sensitivity thermal transfer imaging functional materialtechnology, thermal transfer printer as a non-contact printing computer peripheralshard output devices, has become a market share special kind of printer of high rate.The imaging principle of thermodynamics is heat transfer to the imaging materialsupport body through computer signals to drive the semiconductor electrothermalhead or laser imaging materials, make hot melt and transferred to the text and imageby image forming medium. Thermal transfer imaging material is coated on the base tape, called thermalepson printer ribbon  or thermal transfer ribbon.

Thermal transfer ribbon introduction

Thermal transfer ribbon called hot foil stamping TTR printer ribbon , referred to as the ribbon, English is Thermal Transfer Ribbon.

热烫印色带是打印机耗材，就是在一面涂上蜡基、树脂基或混合的油墨的聚脂或其它高密度薄膜。在没有油墨的一面涂上润滑剂以防止打印头的磨损和损坏，碳带的轴芯常见的有纸质和塑料两种，主要要求是不能变形和在打印时不能滑动。常见的色带有蜡基、蜡树混合基、树脂基几种。目前我们国内，使用色带常见的有日期打码碳带、输液袋碳带、水洗布专用树脂碳带、电缆用碳带、条码碳带、蜡基-色带、混合基-色带、树脂基-色带等各类型号。不同材质与品种的色带/碳带对于打印材料与打印机都有不同的适用，在色带/碳带热转印技术中，打印机的性能是首要的。

Thermal printing ribbon is printer supplies, is on the side of a base coated with wax, resin or mixed ink polyester or other high density film. In the absence of ink coated on one side with a lubricant to prevent wear and damage to the print head, a common shaft core ribbon of paper and plastic two, the main requirement is not deformation and not in print slide. Common with wax based, ash mixed base, resin based several. At present, our domestic, use TEC printer ribbons are common date code Tandai, infusion bag ribbon, washing cloth, special resin ribbon cable with ribbon, barcode ribbon, wax - ribbons, mixed base - ribbon, ribbon and other kinds of resin matrix - type. Different materials and varieties of ribbon / ribbon for printing materials and printers have different applicable in the ribbon / thermal transfer Nylon ribbon roll technology, printer performance is the primary.
