I believe that nylon ribbons are welded ultrasonically. Long ago, one
used to be able to order ribbons made-to-order.
I have a re-inker made by PBM that I would be willing to part with. It
uses a small synchronous motor to slowly drag the ribbon over an ink
reservior equipped with very small holes through which the very viscous ink
"leaks". A very very messy operation, but it does work. It's set up to
work with aforementioned HP ribbon. IIRC, the ink is much more viscous
than that used to re-ink rubber stamp pads.
