All questions must have

make model (what it is)

Printer ribbons are reverible and do normally print at the top. when the print starts to fade, you turn the ribbon over and the bottom becomes the top. Use the ribbon until that fades and buy a new one.

I'm guessing the carrier solvent for the ink has evaporated. (Ribbon is old and dried out - even the new one) In the past, i have sprayed WD40 on unspooled ribbons and rewound them to bring ribbons back to life but that can be messy with spotty results. Suggest you buy direct fro Printronix.....

Make sure you have selected gold ribbon in printer graphic properties.
Also you can try changing luminosity and treatment options in graphics under Advanced setting.
Check for print on a white card also as problem may be due to card surface also .
You should cklean print head also at once.

turn the small knurled knob on top of the printer ribbon cartridge to advance the ribbon a few inches

Try Code comma, peroid or slash one of them will get you out of the overstrike ribbon mode.

check the wright cartridge model you installed and well pluged to the printer

if it is ok

try to change printer properties and fix it correct options with there tabs ( ex: paper, print quality etc)

all are well try to reinstall the printer driver

If your print fades in then out every 5-6 lines, your platen probably has flat spots on it. This can be caused when someone forget to perform an alignment on a PH.

To run a test page you can power off the printer. Hold down the LF key and power on at the same time, this will print a self test.

In the printing preferences there is an auto detect ribbon button . you should select it.
Your ribbon will be updated. Also if printer asks you if the ribbon is correct select yes. The printer will then print on whatever ribbon you have intalled. This doesnt work with test prints

Build up on the printhead, printhead pressure, or worn platen roller...
