Hi,
I am searching for an endless printer ribbon with
a width size of 0.75" (19mm) to replace an worn-out
IBM ribbon that is not available anymore.
Anyone any idea on a good subsitute ?
My idea is to remove the ribbon from the subsitute
and replace the worn-out one in the IBM cartridge.
Thanks for your replies.
Ribbons can be reinked - if you can find a vendor
nearby that still offers this service.
I would think that easier/safer than trying to remove the
"good" ribbon and hopefully manage to make it fit into the
shell for the old ribbon (maximum entropy in ribbon
packing :> yet, you still have to hope your new ribbon
isn't too long to fill the space available!)
