Our take on the Lathem 2-Color Ribbon for Time Clocks (Red/Black)

This is a replacement two-color nylon ribbon for Lathem 2000, 3000 and 4000 series time clocks. It prints in red and black, so late arrivals and early departures stand out from normal punches on the card. The ribbon self-reverses at the end of the spool, which lets the same cartridge run through a second pass before it needs replacing. It suits offices, shops and small workplaces still running a Lathem punch clock; the main trade-off is that it only fits those Lathem series, not other brands or models.

Pros
  • Two colors separate late and early punches from on-time ones
  • Self-reversing spool extends usable ribbon life
  • Nylon ribbon holds up to repeated stamping
  • Fits three Lathem clock families with one part
  • Simple drop-in replacement
Cons
  • Fits only Lathem 2000, 3000 and 4000 series clocks
  • Two-color printing needs the clock's color-shift setting to work
  • Ribbon eventually dries out and fades with heavy use
  • Single ribbon per pack, so busy offices need spares on hand

What reviewers say

Owners of Lathem punch clocks treat this as a routine consumable: it installs easily and the red/black split makes late punches obvious on the card. Complaints center on fit and longevity rather than print quality.

  • Ribbon lifeMixedSome say the self-reversing spool lasts well; others find it fades faster than expected in busy offices.

Questions and answers

Which Lathem clocks does this ribbon fit?
It fits the Lathem 2000, 3000 and 4000 series time clocks. Check your clock's model number before ordering, since other Lathem lines use different ribbons.
How does the two-color printing work?
The ribbon carries red and black bands. When the clock is set to shift color, late-in and early-out punches print in red while regular punches print in black.
What does the self-reversing spool do?
At the end of the spool the ribbon reverses direction and runs back through, so the same cartridge gives a second pass of use before you replace it.
How often will I need to replace it?
It depends on punch volume. A busy office with dozens of daily punches will go through ribbons faster than a small shop; keeping a spare on hand avoids downtime.
What is included?
One two-color ribbon cartridge. It is a consumable replacement part, not a full clock or card kit.
