P5000 CONSUMABLES QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
“How important is ribbon quality when printing bar codes?
Control of ink spread is most critical in any bar code application. You must ensure that the space elements
between bars remains a constant width and that the code remains scanner readable without variations or
errors. It is also required that the ink be uniformly dispersed along the entire length of the ribbon to eliminate
variations in print density during the ribbon's productive life. Genuine Printronix ribbons are manufactured to
exacting specifications and quality controlled to ensure that each ribbon you receive produces a level of
density and image quality that is consistent from application to application.

“Can I use a mylar ribbon with my Printronix printer?”
Because of the highly abrasive nature of the mylar ribbon base material, the use of these ribbons is not
approved or recommended for use with Printronix printer systems. Our oratory lab has found that mylar
ribbons can cause excessive wear and will eventually destroy the ribbon mask of the printer in a very short
period of time.

“Does packaging have any effect on the performance of a printer ribbon?”
Because of the liquid properties of inks, printer ribbons require proper protective packaging to ensure
that evaporation during shipping and storage is minimised. Each Genuine Printronix ribbon is individually
protected by a plastic shrink wrap. Because of the somewhat perishable nature of impact printer ribbons, a
date of manufacture is provided so that proper inventory rotation can be instituted. All of the outer cartons
and shipping containers of Genuine Printronix supplies are designed to protect the ribbons from physical
damage and distortion during shipping and handling.
