If you regularly print colour on the front and black-only on the back, a YMCKOK ribbon is a more cost-effective choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHow should I store this ribbon, and what is its shelf life?\u003c\/b\u003e For the best printing results, we recommend using the ribbon within one year of purchase. Store it in its original packaging in a cool, dry environment (ideally between 10°C and 20°C), away from direct sunlight, dust, and high humidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDo I need to clean my printer when changing the ribbon?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes, it is highly recommended by the manufacturer to run a printer cleaning cycle every time you install a new ribbon.
