Epson SIDM Black Ribbon Cartridge C13S015086 for LQ-2x70/2x80/FX-2170/2180

The Epson SIDM Black Ribbon Cartridge C13S015086 is a specially designed ribbon cassette for dot matrix printers including the LQ-2190N, LQ-2190, LQ-2180 and LQ-2080 series. The cartridge provides reliable black printing with precise ribbon transport that prevents slipping during operation and ensures uniform colour distribution across the printed output. The ribbon fabric and mesh thickness are selected to match the print head characteristics, reducing the risk of fraying and avoiding damage to the print head.
