Lexmark 3070166 Re-Ink Ribbon 4M Characters

This Lexmark re-inking ribbon delivers black output for compatible dot-matrix printers. It suits commercial users who need crisp, cost-effective impact printing on continuous forms. The cartridge yields up to 4 million characters at Draft 10 pitch, reducing change frequency. It is sold as a single unit for Lexmark 2300, 2400 and 2500 series models.

Upgrading from worn or depleted ribbons

Replace an exhausted ribbon when print quality fades or the printer signals end of life. The 4 million character yield means fewer interruptions for high-volume form runs. The jump is worth it when current ribbons require frequent changes or produce uneven density. Compatible printers include the 2380, 2381, 2390, 2391, 2480, 2481, 2490, 2491 and 2580.

For Lexmark forms printer operators

This ribbon fits operators of the listed Lexmark forms printers who need reliable black impact output. It is not for users of laser, inkjet or thermal printers, nor for dot-matrix models outside the 2300, 2400 and 2500 series. Buyers needing colour ribbons or higher-yield cartridges should look at other supplies.

Questions about this item

What are the shipping dimensions of the Lexmark 3070166 ribbon cartridge?

The cartridge ships at 4.4 inches high, 3.7 inches wide and 1.2 inches deep, so check your printer’s ribbon bay against those measurements before ordering.

How do I install the re-ink ribbon in a Lexmark 2380, and what step is often missed?

Open the printer cover, remove the old cartridge, insert the new 3070166 ribbon until it clicks, then advance the ribbon manually a few turns to tension it — skipping the manual advance causes smudged first pages.

When will the Lexmark 3070166 ribbon need replacement, and what indicates end of life?

The ribbon is rated for up to 4 million characters at Draft 10 pitch; replace it when print becomes faint or uneven, signalling the ink reservoir is depleted.
