Installing The Ribbon Cartridge
The Printek printer has been designed to make installing Printek brand
ribbons a simple, clean process. Unlike other printers, there is no need to
touch the ribbon fabric or deal with difficult to position ribbon guides. The
following sections explain why the use of Printek brand ribbons should be
important to you and will guide you through installing the ribbon cartridge.
Why Use Only Printek

Brand Ribbon Label
The above label on each ribbon can identify Printek brand ribbons. There
are many reasons to use only Printek brand ribbons in your
PrintMaster 850 Series printer. First of all, using only Printek brand
ribbons will automatically extend the printhead warranty to two
years instead of one year.
The reason this is possible is that Printek brand ribbons are manufactured to
much higher quality standards than those offered by other manufacturers.
This provides not only longer print head life, but also longer ribbon life… 15
million characters as compared to only 5 million characters from some
generic ribbons.
Remember that using only Printek brand ribbons is important because the
wear that is started and the contamination that remains from even one
inferior ribbon will continue to damage the print head. Also, damage to
other printer components, which is caused by the use of non-Printek
ribbons, will not be covered by the printer’s warranty.
