Publish Time: 2024-12-04
Double Head White Ink Heat Transfer Machine is a highly efficient printing device, whose working principle is based on thermal transfer technology, and is particularly suitable for printing white or other light-colored inks on dark materials.1. Main componentsThe main components of Double Head White Ink Heat Transfer Machine include:Print head: The core part of the device, responsible for transferring image information to the ribbon in the form of heat energy. The double-head design means that there are two sets of print heads, which can work simultaneously or separately to improve printing efficiency.Ribbon: Made of polyester film coated with white or other color carbon ribbon, it can receive the image information transferred by the print head.Thermal transfer printing platform: Provides a heating source during the printing process so that the image information on the ribbon can be transferred to the desired object.Electronic control unit: Responsible for processing and interpreting image information, and controlling the heating process of the print head.2. Working principleThe working principle of Double Head White Ink Heat Transfer Machine is as follows:Image information conversion: The image information is first converted into an electronic signal.Print head heating: The electronic control unit controls the heating device of the print head to heat the ribbon according to the changes in image information.Pigment melt transfer: When the ribbon passes through the print head, the heating element of the print head heats the ribbon, causing the pigment on the ribbon to melt and transfer to the desired object. The double-head design can speed up this process and increase the printing speed.3. Printing processThe printing process of the Double Head White Ink Heat Transfer Machine usually includes the following steps:Preparation stage: Place the printer on a stable, dry, and well-ventilated workbench to ensure that the temperature and humidity of the working environment are within the appropriate range of the printer. Check whether the printer is intact and whether the accessories are complete, including power cord, data cable, print head, ribbon, etc.Connect the device: Plug the power cord of the printer into the power socket and press the power switch to start the printer. If you need to connect to a computer or other device, use a data cable to connect the interface of the printer to the interface of the device.Install the print media: Place the print media (such as paper, plastic, metal, etc.) on the thermal transfer printing platform and adjust the position of the media guide according to the width and thickness of the print media.Select the print mode: Select the appropriate print mode according to the printing needs, such as normal print mode, high-quality print mode, etc.Start printing: Set the print content in the printing software and preview the print. After confirming that the print content is correct, click the print button and the printer starts working. During the printing process, do not open the print head or move the print media at will.Remove the print media: After printing, wait for the print media to be completely output, and then carefully remove the print media.4. Maintenance and careIn order to ensure the normal operation and extend the service life of the Double Head White Ink Heat Transfer Machine, regular maintenance and care are required:Clean the print head: Use a soft lint-free cloth or a special print head cleaning stick to gently wipe the surface of the print head to remove dust, paper scraps and ribbon residues. You can use the print head cleaning fluid regularly for cleaning.Replace the ribbon: Replace the used ribbon in time to avoid the ribbon breaking or jamming the printer. When replacing the ribbon, turn off the printer power first.Check the power cord and data cable: Regularly check whether the power cord, data cable and interface of the printer are firmly connected to avoid looseness or poor contact.Calibrate the printer: After the printer has been used for a period of time, problems such as print position offset and uneven color may occur. At this time, the printer needs to be calibrated, and the operation should be carried out according to the printer's manual.The Double Head White Ink Heat Transfer Machine achieves efficient and high-quality printing through its unique print head design and thermal transfer technology. Mastering its basic knowledge is of great significance for the correct use and maintenance of the equipment.
