 I recently bought new ribbons for Decwriter II and TI Omni 810 without any

I'm having this issue right now with a Panasonic printer.  The black ink
ribbons are still a dime/dozen. The 4-color ribbons are NLA from
Panasonic and finding them is proving to get quite difficult.
I'd be more than happy to re-thread a cartridge, but where does one find
CMYK  1 inch fabric ribbon?
