ABSTRACT:
A stuffed ribbon cartridge for a serial impact printer includes flexible leaders for guiding the ribbon from a stationary storage position to a movable print point. In order to place tension on the ribbon which is stored in the cartridge in a stuffed condition, a clip which pinches the ribbon so as to produce a drag force on the ribbon is located adjacent the print point and spaced from the cartridge by a substantial length of the flexible leader.
