This feature is particularly important when printing multiple part forms that require the print mechanism to make an impression through many sheets of paper as well as the ribbon. The thicker nylons, however, are more durable and hold more ink. When in doubt about which thickness or what application you will be most often using, a .004 nylon is a good, cost-effective grade of fabric. A special grade of nylon has been developed called texturized nylon. Ribbons made of such fabric last significantly longer than ordinary ribbons.
Twisted fabric is stronger and wears better than other grades.
High density is used to achieve better print quality from the tiny printwires in a 24-pin printer. Some fabrics are constructed with combinations of texturizing, twisting and weave density for various applications. Many Dataproducts high performance ribbons are made with texturized nylon, increasing print life and saving you money. Inc. All rights reserved.
