Function: An element of a computer printer consisting of a band of inked material used to make a mark on paper when struck by a chosen symbol on a print wheel.
Technical: The ink supply for a daisy wheel printer. The daisy-wheel printer was introduced in 1971 by Diablo Systems and shortly thereafter by Qume. In the daisy-wheel system, characters on the ends of petal like spokes radiating from a rotating flat disk were struck by a hammer and imprinted on the paper through an inked ribbon. The technology was used quite widely for operator console keyboards and word processing systems.
