Description
If you are searching for an older Pyramid time clock ribbon replacement or need a master key for servicing and maintaining your Pyramid time clock, this combination package provides a simple and reliable solution. The ETC450-style Pyramid ribbon is designed for older Pyramid time clock models that use the original cartridge-style ribbon, restoring clear and readable time punches while keeping your equipment operating correctly. EmployeeTimeClocks.com has supported mechanical and electronic time clocks for decades, and we regularly help businesses extend the life of older Pyramid systems rather than replacing equipment prematurely.
This ribbon produces dark, legible imprints that ensure employee punches remain easy to read for payroll and recordkeeping. Over time, ribbons dry out or fade, resulting in light or incomplete prints. Replacing the ribbon restores proper print quality and prevents misreads or disputes caused by unclear time stamps. The included master key provides full access to the clock housing, allowing authorized supervisors or maintenance personnel to change ribbons, adjust settings, or perform routine service without delays.
Many businesses continue to rely on older Pyramid time clocks because of their durability and simplicity. Maintaining these systems with the correct ribbon and proper access key helps avoid unnecessary downtime while preserving a proven timekeeping process.
