Low-Lint Cotton Lathem 7-2 Ribbon

Description

If you're searching for a Lathem 7-2 ribbon for a traditional metal-case punch clock, this is the correct low-lint cotton replacement used in mechanical Lathem recorders. Designed for clean, sharp impressions and minimal fiber buildup, the 7-2 ribbon helps maintain consistent print quality while reducing internal lint accumulation over time.

This ribbon fits the following models—and in practice, all mechanical Lathem time clocks with a metal case:

• Lathem 2021 & 2026
• Lathem 2121 & 2126
• Lathem 4001 & 4026
• Lathem 4201 & 4206
• Lathem 1221
• Lathem 8001

If your time clock has a metal case and says LATHEM on the front, this is typically the ribbon you need.

Compatibility / Usage / Key Features

• Ribbon Type: Lathem 7-2
• Material: Low-lint cotton
• Use: Mechanical, metal-case Lathem punch clocks
• Print Quality: Clear, bold time card impressions
• Maintenance Benefit: Reduced lint buildup compared to standard cotton ribbons

Low-lint construction is especially important in mechanical clocks, where excess fiber buildup can affect internal components over time. Replacing worn ribbons promptly keeps print clarity high and extends the service life of your time recorder.

This ribbon is commonly used in warehouses, machine shops, offices, and facilities maintaining legacy Lathem mechanical punch clocks.
