uPunch HNRG10 Time Clock Ribbon vs Amano Two-Color Ribbon MJR8000/MJR8100
These are not interchangeable: the uPunch HNRG10 fits only uPunch HN-series clocks and the UB1000 bundle, while the Amano ribbon fits Amano MJR-8000 and MJR-8100 clocks. Buy the one that matches the clock you already own. Both are OEM snap-in two-color ribbons that print black and red so early and late punches stand out. Owners of either clock describe ribbon swaps as quick and the print as clean; the real difference is fit, not quality.
- Choose the uPunch HNRG10 if you own a uPunch HN1000, HN2000, HN3000, HN4000, HN5000SC, HN6000SC or UB1000 bundle and want the OEM two-color ribbon that snaps in and out.
- Choose the Amano ribbon if you own an Amano MJR-8000 or MJR-8100 and need the OEM two-color ribbon made for that clock.
