Such an arrangement print ribbon cartridge and paper holder, a printer intended impacts.

摘要

The present ribbon cartridge (1) contains a continuous web of inked ribbon (2) for a printing machine and includes the printing platen (5) as a part of the cartridge. The combined ribbon cartridge and platen is made of molded plastic and greatly reduces the overall cost of the printer mechanism by eliminating the expensive platen member as a separate element. Longer ribbon life and lower noise levels of operation are also provided by forming the platen member in this fashion.
