The ribbons in my card printer keep tearing

Where to find it
Printer driver settings → Pre-Heat
How to check the result
After changing the value from 0 to 5, make another print and check whether the ribbon holds.

Quick answer

Open the printer driver settings and change Pre-Heat from the default value 0 to 5. The additional preheating should stop the ribbon from tearing.


Solution: Adjust the printer driver settings

The printer drivers include a Pre-Heat setting.

Recommended setting: Change the pre-heat value from 0 (default) to 5.

This adjustment should fix the problem of tearing ribbons, as the ribbon is warmed up more thoroughly before it is used.
