Lathem 7000/7500 Ribbon – 2-Pack (VIS6008)
Two-pack VIS6008 ribbon for Lathem and Compumatic printing time clocks. Prevent faint punches, keep payroll clear, and stock a spare.
Description
If you are looking to buy a Lathem 7000/7500 ribbon (VIS6008), this is the correct 2-pack replacement for many popular Lathem and Compumatic printing time clocks. Replacing your ribbon on schedule prevents the common “faint punch” problem that slows payroll processing and causes card-reading errors.
This VIS6008 ribbon cartridge installs quickly and cleanly. Simply remove the old ribbon, seat the new cartridge, and resume printing. Keeping a spare ribbon on hand is smart practice for any business running a daily punch clock. When stored flat in a drawer or file area, shelf life can extend up to five years.
Compatible with widely used models such as the Lathem 7000E and 7500E, plus other related printing clocks, this ribbon restores bold, readable time card punches. It also fits select Compumatic models including the MB550. Always confirm the part number VIS6008 on your existing ribbon or check your clock model label before ordering.
For light print, replace the ribbon first. For smudging, confirm the ribbon is seated correctly and that the platen area inside the clock is clean. This simple maintenance step keeps your time clock running properly and avoids unnecessary service calls.
