FAQs

Is this ribbon compatible with other Epson printer series?

No, this ribbon is specifically manufactured for the Epson ERC 30, ERC 34, and ERC 39 models only.

What is the length of the ribbon?

The ribbon measures 5 meters in length.

Does this cartridge come in other colors?

This specific Alpa-Cartridge product is supplied in purple.

How should I store these ribbons?

Keep them in their original packaging in a cool, dry environment to prevent the ink from drying out.

What should I do if the print is still faint after installation?

Verify that the print head distance is adjusted correctly for the paper thickness you are using.

Troubleshooting

Light or faded print quality

Check that the ribbon is properly seated in the cartridge housing and ensure the fabric is not twisted or caught on the print head.

Paper jamming or ribbon tearing

Turn the adjustment knob to remove slack from the ribbon and ensure the cartridge is fully snapped into the printer carriage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the ribbon, power off the printer and open the cover. Remove the spent cartridge by gently pulling the release tabs. Slide the new Alpa-Cartridge into the carriage slots until it clicks into place. Ensure the ribbon fabric is positioned between the print head and the platen; if necessary, turn the manual adjustment knob on the cartridge to tighten any slack. This ribbon is strictly compatible with Epson ERC 30, ERC 34, and ERC 39 printers. Store unused cartridges in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the ink.
