Core prompt thermal printers need carbon belt? A lot of friends not understanding about this problem, also rarely see answer of the system. Actually the market mainstream brand printers can be found within the free switch between thermal and thermal transfer. So can't directly answer say: need or not, and should be expressed as: hot thermal printers need carbon belt? A lot of friends not understanding about this problem, also rarely see answer of the system. Actually the market mainstream brand printers can be found within the free switch between thermal and thermal transfer. So can't directly answer say: need or not, and should be expressed as: thermal printers need to print with carbon belt you need carbon belt, do not need to use carbon belt when there is no need for carbon belt. Printer on the surface of the actual listing a lot of, can only use thermal paper printing, there are only printed with carbon belt, there are both can use, this answer is more general, require some interpretation and explanation: 1, the first is to introduce here said thermal printers, and thermal transfer printer, what is a thermal printer? Is to use thermal print pattern implementation effect of the printer, with the function of thermal model of the printer can be called a thermal printer. Similarly, thermal transfer printer is to use heat transfer printing pattern implementation effect of the printer, with the function of thermal transfer printer is thermal transfer printer. In fact two printers are only different on the print mode, the specific principle of print is not much said, to be sure, thermal transfer printer must be carbon belt to realize printing effect, and the thermal model needs to with the function of heat sensitive materials or special special carbon belt to print, it will have a direct relationship with demand. 2, through the analysis of the first point we know that the same printer can be thermal printers, can also be a thermal transfer printer. That is thermal printers need carbon belt, also do not need carbon belt, concrete depends on demand. What about that demand to carbon belt, what demand do not need carbon belt? Can carbon belt and the different function to analyze the thermal paper. Carbon with the function and the function of the thermal paper analyses function of * carbon belt, for example, if we are to the inside of the computer to write an article, so we need paper and pen to do it. In fact, the printer is this state of the us, is a special writing words or writing design of robot, it also must be to write a paper and pen. Practice, we bring it, pen and paper to help it put away set, call it what it is to write what. Then carbon belt is printers, the pen of the robot. The function of the pen is will change the information we need to convert present up to the surface of used to show the information; Carbon belt, which is the function of carbon belt, conversion of carbon belt is specialized computer information, only the written information into the brain. * the function of the function of the thermal paper paper is using its surface to display information, thermal paper is paper, and its surface is used to display information. But the thermal paper has another function, that is the function of the pen. It is also compared with the cause of thermal paper here and carbon. Thermal paper as long as the heat will turn black, therefore, the by thermal printer do not need to carbon belt, printing printer to print head when heating, heating the print head after contact thermal paper can print out the pattern. Using thermal paper printing than with carbon belt more convenient, but also save the space, save costs and so on. But thermal paper also has disadvantages, such as print pattern to save time is not long, only print one color, and so on, while the use of carbon with print the contents of the save time is relatively long, with color carbon belt can also print out the content of the different colors; With carbon belt printing content can also be high temperature resistant, resistant to chemical solvents, waterproof, etc. , can be used in the specified conditions. Thermal printer also need carbon belt in fact there are some color of carbon belt is printed by thermal model, such as keller, carbon with bright golden carbon and carbon belt can only use silver glitter on thermal pattern printing. To sum up, the printer need carbon belt is determined requirements completely, if you don't need to save a long time ( Within two months) , as long as it is to print the contents of the black, then can consider to use thermal printers, thermal paper printing. If you print the contents of the need to save for a long time, or is the use of in some specific conditions, Such as high temperature, outdoor, refrigerating, contact chemical solvent, etc. ,) , or need to print the contents of the color, just choose to use thermal transfer printer, use carbon with print. If you want to free to switch between the two, with two patterns can also buy a printer, according to their own choice needs to use print mode and related materials.
