OKI ML193 Ribbons
Shop ribbons for your OKI ML193, which uses the genuine OKI R100/320 ribbon. Built for continuous multi-part forms and heavy-duty industrial output, this 9-pin dot matrix printer relies on fresh fabric ink ribbons to maintain clear impact transfer across carbon copies.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know when to replace the R100 ribbon in an OKI ML193 printer?
Unlike inkjet or laser cartridges that shut off electronically, fabric impact ribbons gradually fade over time. Replace the R100 ribbon when text on the bottom sheet of multi-part forms becomes faint, ensuring clear legibility across all copy layers.
Does the R100 ribbon work with continuous forms and multi-part carbonless paper?
Yes, the genuine OKI R100 ribbon is formulated specifically for impact dot matrix printing, providing heavy pin impact transfer that clearly imprints through original documents and duplicate carbonless copies.
How should unused OKI R100 ribbons be stored to maximise shelf life?
Store unopened ribbons flat in a cool, dry environment within their sealed original packaging to prevent the fabric ink formulation from evaporating prematurely.
