This is a pack of seven black ink rolls, each measuring 36mm x 32mm, designed for use in various batch coding machines. These ink rolls are crucial consumables that transfer ink onto a substrate when heated, creating clear and durable prints such as batch numbers, manufacturing dates, and expiry dates. The ink is formulated to adhere to a wide range of materials, including uncoated paper, coated paper, polyester, polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The specified printing temperature range of 90-130°C indicates the optimal heat required for effective ink transfer.
Features
:Pack of Seven: Comes in a convenient pack of seven individual ink rolls, providing a supply for continuous operation.Standard Size: Each roll measures 36mm in width and 32mm in diameter, making them compatible with many standard batch coding machines.High-Quality Black Ink: Delivers clear, legible, and durable black prints for easy readability and longevity.Wide Material Compatibility: Formulated to adhere effectively to a diverse range of substrates, including paper and various plastics.Optimal Printing Temperature: Designed to perform best within a temperature range of 90-130°C, ensuring efficient ink transfer and quality prints.Generic (Imported): These are generic, imported ink rolls, offering a potentially cost-effective alternative to brand-specific consumables.Lightweight: With an approximate total weight of 0.2 kg for the pack, these rolls are easy to handle and store.Applications
:These ink rolls are primarily used as consumables in various types of batch coding machines, including:
- Hot Stamping Coders: Where the heated type presses the ink roll onto the substrate to transfer the ink.
- Thermal Transfer Over printers (TTO): In some TTO systems that utilize ribbon-like ink transfer mechanisms.
- Labeling Machines with Coding Units: Integrated coding systems that print information onto labels during the labeling process.
- Packaging Machines with Inline Printing: Batch coding units integrated into flow wrappers, sealers, and other packaging equipment.
They are used across various industries for printing:
- Batch numbers
- Manufacturing dates
- Expiry dates
- Lot codes
- Other product identification information
Usage
:Machine Preparation: Ensure the batch coding machine is powered off and the printing head is cool before attempting to replace the ink roll.Access Ink Roll Compartment: Open the designated compartment or holder for the ink roll in your batch coding machine. Refer to your machine's manual for specific instructions.Remove Old Roll (if applicable): If there is a used ink roll, carefully remove it and dispose of it properly according to any local regulations.Install New Ink Roll: Place a new 36mm x 32mm ink roll into the designated holder, ensuring it is oriented correctly according to the machine's mechanism. The ink-coated side should be positioned to make contact with the heated printing type and the substrate.Secure the Roll: Ensure the new ink roll is securely in place and will feed smoothly as the printing process occurs.Close the Compartment: Close the ink roll compartment or holder.Set Printing Temperature: Turn on the batch coding machine and set the printing temperature within the recommended range of 90-130°C. Adjust as needed based on the substrate material and desired print quality.Test Printing: Perform a test print on a sample of your packaging material to ensure the ink transfer is clear, legible, and adheres properly. Adjust the temperature or pressure of the printing head if necessary.Commence Batch Coding: Once the test print is satisfactory, you can begin your regular batch coding operations.
Maintenance:
These ink rolls themselves require minimal direct maintenance. However, proper handling and storage can prolong their usability and ensure optimal performance:
- Storage: Store unused ink rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps prevent premature drying or degradation of the ink.
- Handling: Handle the ink rolls with clean hands to avoid transferring dirt or oils that could affect print quality.
- Check Before Use: Before installing a new roll, visually inspect it for any damage or irregularities.
- Machine Maintenance: Regular maintenance of the batch coding machine itself (cleaning the printing head, checking pressure settings) will also contribute to the optimal performance and longevity of the ink rolls.
Temperature Awareness: Be mindful of the printing temperature set on the batch coding machine. Operating outside the recommended 90-130°C range may result in poor print quality (too light or smudged) or damage to the ink roll or substrate.Machine Compatibility: Ensure that these 36mm x 32mm ink rolls are the correct size and type for your specific batch coding machine model. Using incompatible rolls can lead to improper feeding or printing issues.Material Suitability: While these ink rolls are designed for a range of materials, always perform a test print on your specific substrate to ensure satisfactory adhesion and print quality. Some materials might require slightly different temperature settings or ink types.Storage Conditions: Improper storage can reduce the shelf life and performance of the ink rolls. Adhere to recommended storage conditions.Disposal: Dispose of used ink rolls according to any local environmental regulations.Machine Safety: Always follow the safety guidelines provided in the user manual of your batch coding machine. Ensure the machine is properly grounded if required.
