    If you have a wide ribbon, and say the printed item is only on one side of the left/right ribbon that is used, then in theory you could take the take-up ribbon spool when fully used, turn it around, and put it on the supply spool for a second go around.  So long as the printed items don't overlap on the ribbon area you'll get a second pass.  Note however that the unwind direction will also be reversed.  Buying a narrower, thus cheaper, ink ribbon is also an option.

    Tech101, is better to use a new roll

    • If you use a ribbon narrower than label you can damage printhead
    • If you reuse the ribbon you´ll probably have wrinkles on it (thickness and tension roll is different each time you use the whole roll)

    You should compare printhead cost vs savings on narrow ribbon
