Comments about Epson Epson S015086 Black Fabric Ribbon Cartridge:

I use these ribbons in two 2170's I run to print forms for clients in the medical industry. They consistently work well. I have tried the Nu-Kote brand (knock-off) ribbons in the past and they have been inconsistent: my biggest complaint is that sometimes the ribbon would fail to feed from the ribbon housing, stalling, and therefore leaving the ribbon in place; very quickly the ink from the exposed ribbon would be depleted giving light gray print instead of black. I've never had any problems with the Epson ribbons, and no problems with the feeding of the ribbon in particular. I print several thousand forms each month using these ribbons and printers.
