Abstract
A ribbon cartridge for high speed printers having a main ribbon storage casing and a pair of arms which extend in generally the same direction from the casing. The ends of the arms form an exposed ribbon path to allow the printhead to strike the ribbon. A shield is provided in front of the ribbon to prevent the accordion folds of the paper from engaging and lifting the ribbon out of the path of the printhead.
