7 miotais faoi phriontáil aistrithe teirmeach
Cé go bhfuil priontáil theirmeach thart ar feadh na mblianta, tá go leor miotais ann fós maidir le haistriú teirmeach agus lipéid. Ós rud é go bhfuil sainaithint ceart an tsampla an-tábhachtach, tá sé tábhachtach go mbeadh na fíricí ar an eolas agus lipéad á roghnú agat. Anseo thíos, liostaímid cuid de na míthuiscintí is coitianta maidir le priontáil aistrithe teirmeach agus mínímid cén fáth go bhfuil na ráitis seo bréagach ó dhúchas.
1 – All thermal printers are the same
Tá dhá chineál printéirí teirmeacha ann i ndáiríre: printéirí teirmeacha agus printéirí aistrithe teirmeacha. Cé go n-úsáideann an bheirt teas chun asphriontaí a ghiniúint, úsáideann siad modhanna an-difriúla. Úsáideann printéirí teirmeacha páipéar atá brataithe le dath leuco speisialta a athraíonn dath nuair a théitear iad. Ciallaíonn sé seo, murab ionann agus gach printéir eile, nach bhfuil aon fhoinse dúch breise ag teastáil ó chlódóirí teirmeacha, rud a fhágann gurb iad an chéad rogha do mhiondíoltóirí admhálacha a phriontáil. Mar sin féin, úsáideann printéirí aistrithe teirmeach ribín chun priontáil. Teasóidh an ceann priontála an ribín chun dúch a aistriú ón ribín go dtí an stoc aghaidh. De ghnáth braitheann rogha modh priontála teirmeach ar an iarratas, agus tá lipéid aistrithe teirmeach níos resistant do cheimiceáin agus teocht mhór.
2 – Any type of label material will do
It is generally believed that the electrical resistance of thermal transfer labels is independent of the label facestock. While thermal transfer labels are usually made from thermoplastic films, paper labels can also be used with lab label printers, but this is often not ideal. If you're using thermal transfer printouts, you probably need them for a reason, such as low temperature storage or strong solvents. Paper labels absorb all liquids, from water to alcohol, causing them to shrink and fall off the container.
3 – They are less environmentally friendly
Tugann lipéid aistrithe teirmeach níos mó saincheaptha ná modhanna priontála eile, ag tairiscint roghanna éagsúla atá neamhdhíobhálach don chomhshaol agus printéirí aistrithe teirmeacha in úsáid. Áiríonn sé seo ribíní saor ó thuaslagóirí a laghdaíonn go suntasach an lorg carbóin in aghaidh an rolla gan tionchar ar bith ar cháilíocht priontála, lipéid déanta as ábhair athchúrsáilte, agus lipéid atá in-mhúirín go hiomlán. Chomh maith leis sin, úsáideann printéirí aistrithe teirmeach ribíní dúch beaga agus ní phriontáiltear ach lipéid ar rollaí. Ciallaíonn sé seo nach ndéanann tú ach an méid a theastaíonn uait a phriontáil, ag laghdú an dramhaíl iomlán.
4 – All Ribbons Are Alike
Is féidir ribíní printéir aistrithe teirmeach a dhéanamh as céir, roisín, nó meascán den dá cheann. Tabharfaidh ribíní roisín an chosaint uasta duit ó theocht foircneach, ceimiceáin agus scríobadh i gcomparáid le céir amháin nó meascán den dá cheann. Tairgeann ribíní roisín luach níos mó mar gheall ar a gcáilíocht aschuir priontála feabhsaithe.
5 – Thermal transfer labels will stick to anything
Not all products are created equal when it comes to thermal transfer labels. Thermal transfer printouts are still legible in many harsh environments, but the label's adhesive will determine whether it will still stick to the container. For example, only CryoSTUCK® labels can be applied to surfaces that have been frozen, while chemical-resistant labels are produced using adhesives designed to resist harsh solvents such as xylene, toluene and alcohol. However, all labels in roll form can be printed with thermal transfer printers.
6 – Thermal transfer printers are relatively expensive
Standard thermal transfer printers range from 450 to 3000, while desktop laser printers range from 200 to 10,000. Also, due to the portability of thermal transfer printers, the cost can be borne by multiple labs or departments, as printers can be more easily carried or moved between workstations than laser printers. Also, the unit cost per label is generally lower than most other printers, because the ribbon doesn't need to be replaced as often as ink cartridges or toner, and you only print what you need without wasting labels.
7 – It doesn't matter where I get the tag
Not all labels are created equal. Chemical-resistant labels can withstand occasional exposure to ethanol, other alcohols, and even xylene, but it may not be suitable for immersion/prolonged exposure to these chemicals; low-temperature labels may be ideal for -196 degree storage, but depending on their size and container's properties (surface type/shape), it may fail in liquid nitrogen. Whatever the purpose you need the label for, whether it's tolerance to xylene during histological analysis, or cryogenics for freezing patient specimens or primary cell lines, it's best to obtain labels from reputable manufacturers that use only high-quality raw materials And provide a reliable label printing service. They will also test them beforehand to make sure they won't fail, and will often provide you with samples to make sure they're a perfect fit for your unique conditions.
