Amano MRX35 Replacement Ribbon – 2 Pack for BX1500 and BX1600 Time Clocks
This replacement ribbon 2-pack is designed for Amano MRX35 time clocks and compatible BX1500 and BX1600 models. A fresh ribbon restores strong print contrast on employee time cards and helps prevent timekeeping errors caused by faded or incomplete impressions.
Ribbon replacement is one of the most common maintenance items for electronic punch clocks. As ink becomes depleted through daily use, print quality gradually declines. Replacing the ribbon before impressions become too light helps maintain readable records and avoids payroll corrections. The cartridge design allows quick replacement without tools, making routine maintenance simple for office managers and supervisors.

FAQ
How often should ribbons be replaced?
Replacement frequency depends on usage, but many businesses replace ribbons every few months.
Will this ribbon fit newer Amano models?
This ribbon is designed specifically for MRX35 and BX series clocks and will not fit newer PIX or EX models.
What causes faded punches?
Normal ribbon wear from daily printing is the most common cause.
Many ribbon replacement questions come from model confusion between Amano series
Amano time clocks use several different ribbon cartridge designs depending on the model series. While many ribbons appear similar, they are not interchangeable. Using the correct ribbon ensures proper installation, clear printing, and prevents alignment or feeding issues.
- MRX / BX Series: Uses MRX35-style ribbon cartridges designed for MRX35, BX1500, and BX1600 time clocks.
- PIX Series: PIX models use a different ribbon cartridge and are not compatible with MRX or BX ribbons.
- EX Series: EX time clocks use a smaller cartridge design unique to EX3500 and similar models.
- TCX Series: TCX electronic time clocks require their own ribbon type and will not accept MRX-style cartridges.
If you are unsure which ribbon your clock requires, check the model number printed on the front or inside the clock before ordering. Matching the correct ribbon to the clock model helps maintain reliable printing and avoids unnecessary returns or downtime.
