Old Style Pyramid Time Clock Ribbon (With Ribbon Shield)
This old style Pyramid time clock ribbon is designed for earlier Pyramid time clocks that use the original ribbon cartridge with a protective ribbon shield. Businesses searching for a replacement ribbon for older Pyramid 3000, 3500, 3700, or 4000 series clocks typically need this version to restore clear, readable time punches for payroll processing. EmployeeTimeClocks.com supports businesses maintaining legacy time clock systems by supplying compatible ribbons and parts long after newer models replace them.
Older Pyramid clocks often remain in service for many years, and faded or uneven printing is usually the first sign that a ribbon replacement is required. This ribbon restores clean, dark impressions while maintaining compatibility with the original cartridge design used prior to later model revisions that eliminated the ribbon shield.
Compatibility / Usage / Key Features
This ribbon fits older Pyramid time clocks that use the original shielded ribbon design. It is commonly used in Pyramid 3000HD, 3500, 3700, 4000, and 4000HD models manufactured before later redesigns introduced newer cartridge styles. Because newer Pyramid clocks use different ribbon mechanisms, this ribbon should only be purchased if your existing cartridge includes the metal or plastic ribbon shield.

FAQ
How do I know if I need the old style ribbon?
If your ribbon cartridge has a visible ribbon shield or your clock was purchased before newer Pyramid revisions, this is typically the correct ribbon.
Will this fit newer Pyramid Pro models?
No. Newer Pyramid models use a different ribbon design and this ribbon will not install correctly.
How often should the ribbon be replaced?
Most businesses replace ribbons every 4–6 months depending on usage volume and print quality requirements.
