Okidata Printer Ribbons Used For Card Machines and Badge Systems
Typewriters and dot matrix printers use a plastic or cloth ribbon to hold the ink. In the 1970s and 1980s the dot matrix printer and was popular but eventually replaced by laser and inkjet printers of today.
Dot matrix technology and printer ribbons are still used today in cash registers, ATMs, and other point-of-sale terminals. The simple construction of printer ribbons makes them economical in these situations.
While not adequate for photo printing or other presentation type print projects, printer ribbons such as the Okidata 52102001 and the Panasonic KX-110 remain useful. Printer ribbons are also used in badge systems for printing identification or ID badges.
Printer ribbons typically come in black, purple, or black/red.
Okidata printers, such as the OkiMate, MicroLine, and PaceMark series offer both original manufacturer and compatible printer ribbons. For some other printers, original ribbons might not be available and a compatible ribbon is the only option.
While a Canon or HP printer and ink cartridges may provide a more pleasing picture or advertising piece, a simple printer ribbon will get the job done for a fraction of the cost. Dot matrix printers have the lowest output cost per printed page and should be the number one choice when the content of the page outweighs the quality.
That is not to say that dot matrix printers using printer ribbons don’t have some disadvantages. They are often loud and can only print low-quality graphics.
