A ferrule printer prints with an ink ribbon, which transfers the characters onto the marker tube. When the ribbon runs low the printing fades or stops, so keeping a spare matches the way a panel shop works through its jobs.
Ribbons for Brother, Canon, MAX LetaTwin and Supvan machines are listed in this category.
Ribbons are made for specific printer families. A cartridge for one model will rarely fit another, even from the same maker, so identify your machine by its full model name. The printed colour, usually black, white or another contrast colour, should be picked to suit the tube colour.
Points to check:
Faint or incomplete characters, and a warning on the machine, are the usual signs. Pair new ribbon with a printhead check; see ferrule printer spares. The ferrule printing machines page shows the machines these fit.
