Replacing the Ribbon
When printing becomes faint, you need to replace the ribbon
cartridge. Use the EPSON ribbon cartridges listed below for best
results. 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.
