If you asked me what made the biggest difference, I would say it was to very patiently clean the rubber roller of all dust particles. Remove layers if too much pressure is required or it looks like the hinges are popping off. Also close the cartridge door slowly and pay attention to the door hinges and the pressure required to click it shut. I applied 5 to 15 strips of sellotape to the cartridge door knob where it applies force on the printhead lever. I applied one additional hack in order to increase the pressure from the print head on the roller. Then repeated the printing and pulling a few times. Opened the cartridge door, pulled the tape out 5mm. Finally a put the cartridge in, closed the door and printed a single letter.

I then applied basic clear sticky tape (sellotape type) to pick up any remaining fragments from the rubber roller. This probably cleaned off the dust but it left behind fragments of the sponge vrush on it. I typed single letter on the device and hit print while the sponge was pressed against the rubber roller. For this I put vodka on the provo ides mini sponge brush. The tape was slipping on the rubber roller.

(If you try to pull the tape of out the cartridge by hand it's worth noticing that it requires substantial force. I think this has the effect of reducing the traction the rubber had on the tape. Tape getting dirty from all of the above.Rubber on the roller drying up and cracking somewhat.I think this caused one or more of the following of the following: In my case I had not used the printer for a couple of years at least.

In my case when the cartridge door was closing it looked like it was clamping down the tape between the head and the motorised rubber roller. Regarding ribbon not moving during printing on a Dymo LetraTag LT-100T with a variety of 12mm Dymo LetraTag label cartiges. I then cut off all but a quarter inch of the white tape, reinstalled the cartridge, and now have a working Dymo. The ribbon spool hole is located about 1/2 inch above and to the right of the āOā in the work DYMO. You can prevent the black tape from moving by using something that fits in the hole, like a pencil eraser, to keep the ribbon spool from moving. I managed to grab this small length of white tape and pull it out about 2 inches while preventing the black printer ribbon from moving at all. There was already about 1/4 inch white tape sticking out from the point where the black printer ribbon heads back into the cartridge. This point is about 1/2 inch below the letter āDā in the brand name DYMO on the cartridge. I removed the cartridge, got out my magnifying glass, and, looking at the side of the cartridge you see when it is installed in the DYMO, found the spot at which the white tape is supposed to separate from the printer cartridge ribbon. Had same problem with first tape cartridge I installed, which is the same one that came with my Dymo model 160.
