I just bought a Lexmark Forms Printer 2580n 9pin printer to print on 3 Part Carbonless Paper. When I first purchased the printer the print quality was fine. This printer is heavly used. 4 months later the print quality is now crap. I've replaced the ribbon twice already. Even after a fresh ribbon the print quality is just poor even with the the ink on the paper dark. I think this Lexmark is just getting worn out from trying to print to the 3 part paper. Does anyone know the best printer for 3 Part paper? Do I need to purchase a 24 pin printer to work better with 3 part paper?

24 will help. But it sounds like you may have a light use printer beating the pins to death.
OKI has the 3410 and Epson the DFX9000. Both did well for customers. But they didn't use 3 part.
