Installing the Ribbon Cartridge
The Printek FormsMaster 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 Ribbons
Printek ® Brand Ribbon Label
Printek brand ribbons can be identified by the above label on each ribbon.
There are many reasons to use only Printek brand ribbons in your
FormsMaster 8000se series printer. First of all, using only Printek
brand ribbons will automatically extend the print head warranty to
two years.
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… 23
million characters as compared to only 15 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.
