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.

Questions and answers

Will the uPunch ribbon fit an Amano clock?
No. The HNRG10 is cut for uPunch HN-series clocks and the UB1000 bundle. Amano MJR clocks take the Amano ribbon.
Which ribbon lasts longer?
Neither maker publishes a page yield for these ribbons, so there is no honest number to compare. Life depends on how many punches your clock prints per day.
Do both print in two colors?
Yes. Both are two-color ribbons that print black and red, so early and late punches stand out on the card.
Is the uPunch ribbon worth stepping up to over a generic?
If you own a uPunch clock, the OEM ribbon is the safe fit and avoids jams from ill-fitting cartridges. A generic may work but fit is not guaranteed.
Can I use one ribbon in both clocks?
No. The two clocks use different ribbon cartridges. Match the ribbon to the clock brand and model.
