Epson SIDM Black Ribbon Cartridge for LQ-690 (C13S015610)

The Epson LQ-690 black ribbon cartridge (C13S015610) is an exact-fitting ribbon cassette designed for the Epson LQ-690 dot matrix printer. It provides smooth ribbon transport and uniform ink distribution to deliver consistent, crisp black prints and to prevent ribbon slack or displacement during printing. The ribbon fabric and mesh are selected to match the print head characteristics, reducing the risk of fraying or jamming and helping to avoid costly print-head repairs and device downtime. The ribbon is saturated with a specially chosen ink to ensure even colour distribution along its length and to protect print head pins from mechanical wear and chemical contamination. Epson applies quality assurance throughout production to maintain compatibility and reliable performance with the LQ-690.

Advantages

The cartridge offers a precise fit for easy replacement and stable operation without jumping out during use. Carefully matched ribbon fabric and mesh thickness reduce fraying and jamming risks, while the selected ink promotes even print density and protects the print head from wear and contamination. Consistent production quality ensures long-term reliability and optimal harmonisation with the Epson LQ-690 printer.
