Back in the day, there was a re-inking product,
the Mac Inker.
I have a Re-inker, though not exactly like the Mac Inker, but the
Model
43 has a built in "Mac Inker"-like inking system. It's a small loop of
ribbon
with a large felt round ink pad in the cartridge. So, if I can get some ink into
the felt, I should be OK.
Since
those are not easy to dig up now, what options are there? Also,
because there's often plenty of pigment, what oil/solvents are good to
wrest some of that pigment back out of a dried ribbon?
That is a question I'd
like to determine. Google was little help outside of calls
to try WD40.
