Printer with printhead assembly, clutch assembly, and printer ribbon transport assembly

A method of aligning a printhead, comprising:

• receiving a ribbon force at a peel surface of a printhead support bracket;
• and
• generating a biasing force at the printhead support bracket to at least partially counteract the ribbon force;
• wherein the biasing force is directed by a biasing ramp of a biasing assembly engaging an opposed ramp surface of the printhead support bracket.

A system for printing, comprising:

• a printing apparatus configured to print on media;
• a printhead;
• and
• a printhead support bracket comprising:
• an opposed ramp surface configured for engagement by a biasing ramp of the printing apparatus;
• and
• a ribbon peel surface configured to receive a ribbon force;
• wherein the opposed ramp surface is configured to receive a biasing force from the biasing ramp, wherein the biasing force at least partially counteracts the ribbon force, and
• wherein the printing apparatus comprises a printhead biasing assembly comprising a biasing element configured to bias the biasing ramp into contact with the opposed ramp surface of the printhead support bracket.
