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 f rom 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.
