[0002] Carbon ribbon is a consumable material used in printers. Under the heat and pressure of the printer's print head, the ink on the carbon ribbon transfers the corresponding text and image information to the label.

[0003] The existing carbon ribbon cutting mechanism is basically composed of components such as a cutting knife, a sliding rod, a fixing bolt, a guide roller and a winding roller. When the existing carbon ribbon cutting mechanism is in use, the carbon ribbon is passed through the guide roller and the cutting knife, and then wrapped and fixed to the outer wall of the winding roller, and the carbon ribbon is cut by the cutting knife.
