Cold Temperature Laser Breaks Technical Barriers for Digital Printing

In recent years, the prosperity of China’s market economy has also driven the development of industries such as food and beverages, daily chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electronic appliances, supermarkets, retail, logistics, storage, and transportation. The development of these industries will surely be related to supporting labels. Printing brings huge business opportunities and broad space for development. Labelless labeling is precisely the fastest-growing branch of the entire label industry. Therefore, it is not difficult to predict that the Chinese adhesive label market will usher in a broader rise in space, corresponding to the self-adhesive label. Printing will also usher in a new spring of development.

Before understanding the label printing, we start with the most basic adhesive structure to understand the label.

Self-adhesive labels are also called self-adhesive labels. They are generally made of paper, film or special materials, coated with adhesive on the back, and coated with silicon bottom paper as a composite material for protection paper. They are processed through printing and die-cutting. After becoming a finished product tag. In the application, it is only necessary to peel from the base paper, and can be applied to the surface of various substrates with a single press, and labeling machines can also be used to automatically label the product on the production line.

Self-adhesive label printing is very different from traditional prints. Self-adhesive labels are usually printed on the label coupler, and various processes such as printing, die-cutting, waste disposal, slitting and rewinding are completed at one time. There are high requirements for printing processes and printing equipment.

Traditional label printing technology is quite mature, and with the increase in the demand for variable information labels with anti-counterfeiting or traceability functions, digital printing technology has gradually flexed its weight in the field of sticker printing, and the business of digital labels The proportion of volume is also increasing year by year.

Commonly used in the market, digital self-adhesive printing methods include ribbon printing, inkjet printing, and laser printing. The ribbon printing method is slow, and it is difficult to handle a large amount of business. The inkjet printing quality is not good enough, and the printing material is more limited. The laser printing technology has a good performance in speed, print quality, printing materials and other aspects. According to different curing methods, the digital laser technology in the market can be divided into two categories: thermal printing laser technology and cold temperature laser technology. After theoretical analysis and practical application of market testing, it is not difficult to find that only the cold temperature laser technology is the most suitable Sticker printing.

Cold Temperature Laser Technology

The cold temperature curing method (taking NIPSON as an example) uses a xenon lamp with a matching wavelength and carbon powder to illuminate the toner, ignites at a high voltage of 25kV, and maintains an ignition state at a current of 400mA. The flashing instantaneous current is as high as 250A and extinguishes during standby. This kind of curing method is very different from the radiation type. It can continuously dissipate energy, and due to the wavelength matching effect, the huge energy it explodes only causes the carbon powder to be heated and has minimal impact on the printing medium. The flashing frequency of the cold flashing fuser is matched with the speed, thereby ensuring the curing effect of the variable content printed on the tag.

Advantages of cold temperature technology to ensure the production of safety stickers

The phenomenon of glue overflow is a common problem in label printing. Once glue overflow occurs, the resulting rubber scale will not only seriously affect the print quality of the sticker, but also cause some damage to the printing equipment. The reason for the phenomenon of self-adhesive glue overflowing mainly comes from the label material itself and self-adhesive printing equipment.

The only way to solve the problem of glue spillage caused by material quality is to use relatively high-quality self-adhesive label raw materials as much as possible to ensure the basic quality of self-adhesive labels; improper selection of printing equipment often results in non-rubber spillage. The culprit of the glue phenomenon.

Thermal printing laser technology curing temperature of about 200 °C, and its larger hot-stick pressure will often show the phenomenon of self-adhesive glue overflow, and the birth of cold-temperature laser technology, it completely eliminates the laser printing technology in the sticker This drawback of domain application. Taking NIPSON cold temperature technology as an example, the curing temperature will not exceed 50°C, the substrate media will not be heated when the toner is cured, and the problem of water loss and deformation caused by the thermal printing laser technology will be avoided, and no problems will occur. The glue material overflows the glue, avoids equipment damage, and greatly facilitates the subsequent processing of the product.

In addition to avoiding the phenomenon of self-adhesive glue, and improving the printing quality of self-adhesive labels, cold-temperature laser technology also has some other unique advantages.

Other advantages of cold temperature technology

The ultra-low curing temperature of the cold temperature technology makes the printing equipment components not affected by the high temperature, excellent high-end cold temperature laser printers, such as NIPSON, its own automatic cooling system, to ensure long-term work, reduce losses, and supplies The life span is much higher than that of ordinary printing equipment, which effectively reduces the production cost. In addition, the advantages of high speed and high productivity can further ensure the stability of production.

The cold temperature technology can not only easily handle the printing business of adhesive label materials, but also can achieve high-quality printing of label numbers and barcodes on coated paper, offset paper, and PVC media. In addition, the cold temperature printer can also print the secondary variable information on the silver paste coating. At present, medium-sized cold-temperature laser printers commonly used in the label industry must use perforated paper, while high-end cold-temperature laser printers can also use non-porous paper to carry out high-speed and high-efficiency production.

Today, cold-temperature laser technology has become the most advantageous sticker printing technology in the hearts of printing enterprises that have “taste its sweetness” because of its high-quality adhesive printing quality. Its powerful business development capabilities and extensive media processing capabilities have gradually attracted more and more investment eyeballs. We believe that with the continuous expansion of the digital label market, cold and warm laser printers will also usher in a broader market prospects.
