Ribbon Tension:

• Ribbon Tension is seen in printers.
• An excessive amount of tension in the ribbon can cause the ribbon to stretch and wrinkle and / or fold over onto itself about the deformed center portion or to break, all of which obviously affect the print quality.
• Also, an excessively low ribbon tension can allow the ribbon to move from its print position to a degree which causes partial or total loss of printing of characters.
