Ink Cartridges / Ribbons
An ink cartridge / ribbon is a refill container containing liquid ink and a slender woven cloth impregnated with ink. Both are used when printing with printers and copiers, but ink cartridges are used in inkjet devices and ink ribbons are used in thermal transfer devices and dot impact printers. There are two types of ink cartridges: consumable types that replace the entire container when the ink runs out, and recyclable type that allows the container to be reused. There are also products sold exclusively for large inkjet printers that can print over a wide range. On the other hand, ink ribbons are often used for printing over a relatively small area, and are suitable for printing title labels, business cards, etc. Ink cartridges / ribbons are available in multiple colors, and you can purchase several colors as a set or purchase only the colors you need.
