Replacing the Ribbon
When printing becomes faint, you need to replace the ribbon
cartridge. Use the EPSON ribbon cartridge or pack listed below
for best results. A ribbon pack, containing ribbons only, is also
available. The ribbons are used to replace the worn ribbons in
the cartridge.
Genuine EPSON ribbons are designed to work properly with your
EPSON printer; their high quality ensures proper operation and a
long life for the print head and other printer parts. Using any other
ribbon may damage your printer.
