Black Ribbon Cartridge Epson C13S015339 PLQ-20/22 3-Pack

The Epson C13S015339 black ribbon cartridge for PLQ-20/22 series is a factory-matched cassette designed for reliable dot-matrix printing. Supplied as a 3-pack, each ribbon is made to harmonise with Epson printer mechanics and ribbon transport to deliver even colour distribution, reduce ribbon slippage and avoid the need for manual tightening. Epson selects ribbon fabric, mesh thickness and ink to protect the print head from mechanical wear and chemical contamination while maintaining consistent print quality and long-term operational reliability.

Advantages

Exact fitting and precise transport prevent the ribbon from jumping out during printing and ensure uniform black output across the page. The ribbon material and mesh density are chosen to minimise fraying and jamming risks, reducing the likelihood of print head damage and costly repairs. Consistent impregnation with quality ink provides even ink distribution along the ribbon, protecting print head pins and supporting stable dot-matrix performance.

Store unopened ribbon cartridges in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Replace ribbons immediately if you notice fraying, uneven print density, or any mechanical resistance during printing to prevent damage to the print head.
