Coated paper is the most commonly used material in sticker labels. Coated paper sticker is generally used as the material of barcode printer, with a thickness of about 80g. Coated paper label paper is widely used in retail, manufacturing, logistics, clothing tags, warehouses, etc. The printing quality of coated paper labels has a lot to do with the temperature of the printer's heating strip. Users need to adjust the printer to an appropriate temperature. Each printer has different heating strips. In addition, there are many types of coated paper that require different heating printing temperatures. Therefore, users should first master the minimum heating temperature required for their own coated paper in printing. Now let's take a look at the common sense of using coated paper sticker.

1. What is the minimum heating temperature for coated paper printing?

During the printing process of coated paper, high-quality photos can be printed when the temperature is 60 to 68 degrees, while high-quality photos cannot be printed when the temperature is 58 degrees. Therefore, 60 degrees is the lowest heating temperature for coated paper printing.

2. Why do you want to determine the minimum heating temperature for coated paper printing?

Since 60 ° C can print high-quality photos, and 61 ° C to 68 ° C can also print high-quality photos, why do you want to determine the minimum heating temperature for coated paper printing? Mainly from the following aspects.

1. Reduce the warping of corners and sides in heated printing

The quality of printed photos is poor when the temperature is low. However, if the temperature is too high, the paper in heating printing will be deformed. First, the corners around the paper will be deformed, which directly affects the quality of paper printing; Secondly, the thermally deformed edges and corners will directly rub against the nozzle, making the edges and corners of the printing paper easy to become black due to the pollution of the carbon belt, and even lead to the end pin of the printing head, resulting in the scrapping of the printing works.

2. The minimum heating has the least effect on the life of the print head

Generally speaking, the higher the temperature of the print head, the shorter the life of the print head; If the temperature is moderate, the impact will be reduced or even not affected. Because of this, it is best to repeatedly test the minimum temperature of coated paper before printing. You can print pictures or fonts for repeated testing. Different types of paper require different print temperatures.

Generally, the temperature required for printing coated paper stickers is about 60 degrees, and the temperature difference between them is about 5 degrees. The temperature difference required for printing between embossed coated paper and some special coated paper is relatively large, some of which have a difference of more than 10 degrees. Different papers require different printing temperatures, because we can print tests to compare before printing. In particular, embossed coated paper may require different printing temperatures for the same grain paper. We need to adjust the print head to the appropriate temperature for testing

The application scope of coated paper stickers: calendars, book covers, illustrations, art books, picture albums, etc., almost all of them are coated paper, and various exquisite decorative packages, paper handbags, labels, trademarks, etc. are also widely used in coated paper.
