What is the use of a typewriter ribbon?
The typewriter ribbon is the store of ink for the typewriter. When a typewriter key is pushed the letter springs up and hits the ribbon - pushing the ink onto the page in the shape of the letter.
How long the ribbon for dot matrix printer can be used?
It all depends on two things: how much printing takes place, and whether the ink on the ribbon dries out quickly. When printing, the inked ribbon moves slowly along so the printing pins hit fresh ink as much as possible. When the ribbon reaches the end, a lever is (usually) moved over to make the ribbon return back the other way. Eventually, after many passes, the ink will fade and the ribbon will need to be replaced. Or, in an over warm office, for example, the ink may eventually dry and not produce a good print, even if the printer is little used.
