Epson SIDM Black Ribbon Cartridge for FX-890, FX-890A (C13S015329)

The Black Ribbon Cartridge Epson C13S015329 is a factory-designed replacement ribbon for Epson FX-890 and FX-890A dot matrix printers. It provides consistent black printing through precise ribbon transport and a ribbon fabric selected to match the printer's print head, reducing the risk of fraying or jamming and helping to avoid damage to the print head. The cartridge is compact and easy to store, with dimensions approximately 30 mm (width) x 320 mm (depth) x 80 mm (height).

Advantages

This ribbon cassette fits accurately and is simple to replace, preventing the cassette from coming loose during printing. Harmonised interaction between the printer mechanism and the ribbon transport ensures an even distribution of ink across the ribbon length, producing clean, consistent black output and removing the need for manual ribbon tightening. Material and mesh thickness are chosen to protect the print head from mechanical wear and chemical contamination; inks are selected to ensure uniform colour delivery and reliable print quality.

Suitable for

• Epson FX-890 printers
• Epson FX-890A printers
• Businesses requiring reliable dot-matrix black printing
• Environments where consistent, low-maintenance ribbon performance is needed
