Do It Yourself: So You Repair a Torn Ribbon

What to do if the ribbon in your card printer breaks? Simply bury your head in the sand? Absolutely not! Call Identbase customer service? A very good idea! But what if the card printer is urgently needed? Stay calm! Because you can easily repair your torn ribbon yourself.

And here's how it works:

  1. First, remove the ribbon from the printer (if it is severely wrinkled, it is likely that cleaning is required and that is the cause)
  2. Cut the ends of the torn areas smoothly
  3. Then, stick the two ends together using a piece of adhesive tape.
  4. Wrap the glued area a few turns so that it is well wrapped
  5. Reinsert the cassette, close the lid, and printing can continue!
