- Does Lathem run sales on ribbons and time cards?
- Lathem sells mostly through office and time-clock dealers, and discounts on ribbons are uncommon because they are low-cost consumables. Watch for multi-pack pricing rather than seasonal sales.
- Where is the cheapest place to buy a Lathem ribbon?
- Compare per-ribbon cost across office supply stores and time-clock dealers, since shipping often decides the cheaper option on a single ribbon. Buying a multi-pack usually lowers the unit price.
- What is the difference between the two Lathem two-color ribbons listed?
- Both are black/red ribbons for Lathem time clocks; the difference is the model they fit and the ribbon width. Check your clock's model number before ordering, since the 1-inch ribbon fits specific units.
- How often should a Lathem time clock ribbon be replaced?
- Replace it when printouts turn faint or one color stops showing, which depends on how many punches the clock records. Keep a spare on hand so attendance records stay legible.
- What is Lathem's return policy on ribbons?
- Returns go through the store you bought from, not Lathem directly, so check that store's policy before ordering. Unopened ribbons are more likely to qualify for a return than installed ones.
