Lathem 1000E / 1500E / 1600E Ribbon and Key Combo
This replacement ribbon and key combination is designed for older Lathem electronic punch clocks including the 1000E, 1500E, and 1600E series. These machines remain in service in many workplaces because of their reliability and simple operation, and replacing worn consumables is often all that is required to keep them running accurately for payroll tracking.
The ribbon cartridge restores clear printing on time cards, ensuring punches remain readable for payroll verification and recordkeeping. Over time, ribbon ink fades from repeated use, which can lead to light or incomplete impressions. Installing a fresh ribbon helps prevent payroll disputes and maintains professional records. The included master key allows access to the clock for ribbon replacement, setting adjustments, or general maintenance when the original key has been lost.
Compatibility

EmployeeTimeClocks.com continues to support legacy time clock models by providing replacement ribbons and parts long after original manufacturing cycles end. Maintaining these clocks with correct supplies can extend their useful life significantly and delay unnecessary replacement costs.
