I got a color print ribbon and it won't install

Please post the configuration for the printer which is on the left side under the cover (white sticker) and your ribbon part number. If you are sure both are correct you may have a defective print ribbon or your printer will need service.

Datacard SP35 + giving broken ribbon error

You have to clean the roller under the printerhead.
The big black one..

I suggest you install Diagnostics.

Go to motor test, and take the transport fast reverse. 300 sec.

Now you can clean the roller easy.

Printing faintly

It sounds like the printhead temperature needs to be increased in the print driver. This will enhance the color and density of the ribbon transfer to the card.

Data card sp35 plus ribbon break

There could be either of the following issues:

1. Check the print head temperature to make sure that it is hot enough to transfer the ribbon to the card.

2. The surface of the PVC card may not be image compatible. Try another brand of card or opt to 60/40 composite cards for testing.
