Heat sensitive express sheet paper is a special paper widely used in the express industry, the following is a detailed introduction:
First, basic principles
The heat-sensitive express sheet paper uses the heat-sensitive properties of the heat-sensitive coating to realize information printing. The surface of this paper is coated with a layer of heat-sensitive material, which is usually composed of colorless dyes, color developing agents and sensitizing agents. When the heating element of the thermal printing head contacts the paper and generates heat, the colorless dye in the thermal coating will react chemically with the color developer, thus forming clearly visible text, bar code, two-dimensional code and other information on the paper. This chemical reaction is irreversible, and once printed, the information is stably preserved on the paper.
Ii. Characteristics
Efficient and convenient printing
Thermal printing technology does not need to use ink cartridges, ribbon and other consumables, printing speed is fast. It can complete the printing of a express sheet in a short time, which can meet the needs of the express industry to efficiently handle parcels. For example, in the peak period of express delivery, express outlets can quickly print out a large number of bills, improving the efficiency of parcel processing.
High definition and readability
Heat sensitive express sheets print clear, sharp text and graphics. Its printing resolution can reach a high level, ensuring that the information on the bill such as the recipient's name, address, contact information and Courier number can be accurately read. This is essential for the accurate delivery of express delivery and tracking of logistics information.
Good durability
This paper has certain anti-wear and anti-scratch capabilities, and can maintain the integrity of information during express transportation. At the same time, it also has a certain tolerance to environmental factors such as humidity and temperature, under normal transportation and storage conditions, the information on the list will not fade or blur easily.
Various sizes and specifications
Thermal sensitive delivery sheets are available in a variety of sizes to suit the needs of different delivery companies and different types of packages. Common sizes include 100mm×150mm, 76mm×130mm, etc., and special sizes can also be customized according to specific business requirements.
3. Application advantages
Cost effective
Because thermal printing does not require additional cartridges or ribbons, printing costs can be reduced in the long term. This is an important cost saving factor for industries such as Courier companies that require a large number of printed leaflets. At the same time, the price of the thermal printing equipment itself is relatively low, and the maintenance is relatively simple, further reducing the overall cost.
Strong compatibility
Thermal sensitive express sheet paper is compatible with a variety of thermal printers. Whether it is a small desktop thermal printer, or a large industrial thermal printer, you can use this paper for printing. This allows express delivery companies to flexibly choose printing equipment according to their business size and needs.
Information security guarantee
Once the thermal printed sheet information is printed, it is difficult to tamper with, because the chemical reaction of the thermal coating is one-time. This is very important to ensure the security and authenticity of express information, reducing the risk of information being maliciously modified during transportation.
4. Precautions for use
Storage condition
Heat sensitive express sheet paper should be stored in a cool, dry environment, avoid direct sunlight and high temperature and humidity environment. Because the high temperature may cause the thermal sensitive coating to react in advance, causing the paper to discolor or blur; The high humidity environment may affect the quality of the paper and the printing effect.
Print quality monitoring
Check the condition of the print head of the thermal printer regularly to ensure that the print head can evenly heat the paper. Damage or blockage of the print head may lead to a decline in print quality, such as blank streaks, blurring and other problems. At the same time, according to the characteristics of the paper and the requirements of the printer, reasonable setting of printing parameters, such as printing speed, printing concentration, etc., in order to obtain the best printing effect.
