Although there are instruments that can measure static electricity generated during printing, the easiest way to know if static electricity is low enough is to look at the quality of the printed graphics. High-quality graphics that have no white spots and can be quickly read by a scanner have very little static electricity.
If you are concerned about the life of your print head, cleaning it often and applying the right tension and pressure is something you should pay attention to.
When the printing speed is accelerated, static electricity will affect the printing quality, and the tiny particles absorbed by static electricity will have a negative impact on the printing quality. At this time, high-speed carbon belt can solve the problem.
The generation and release of static electricity has always existed in thermal transfer printing, mainly caused by the friction between the carbon belt and the printer machinery, including the friction between the print head, research shows that there is no direct connection between static electricity and the life of the print head. But some of the techniques in use, such as carbon tape backpainting and electrostatic brushes on printers, can be very effective in reducing static electricity.
