Time clock ribbons wear gradually with normal use. Replacing the ribbon before print quality fades prevents unreadable punches and reduces payroll corrections. Many businesses keep a spare ribbon available so maintenance can be completed immediately when needed, especially for older clocks still used in daily operations.
