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

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 8000 series printer. First of all, using
only Printek brand
ribbons will automatically extend the print head 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…
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.
Using inferior ribbons would be like using poor quality fuel in your
automobile. Premature engine failure and poor performance leading up to
the failure would be the best you could expect.
