Removing the ribbon cassette 7

✓Are you getting muddy-looking colors from a color ribbon? The more green, orange, and purple colors you use, the quicker the primary colors (blue, red, yellow) will become mixed with other colors. This will cause a drop in performance of the ribbon.

✓Remember that changing the ribbon before it becomes frayed or completely out of ink extends the life of your print head.
