Because WD-40 is easier :)
I don't remember spraying a ribbon DIRECTLY with WD-40. The trick was to spray the
WD-40 into a ziplock bag, then put the ribbon cartridge in there, and seal it for a day or
two. The WD-40 vapors would cause the ink that was already on the ribbon to soften and
flow, and 'fill in' the spots where the ink had been used up. It was a stopgap
solution, and of course, does nothing for a truly worn-out ribbon.

Anybody have
opinions on spraying a ribbon with WD-40?
If you're going to that effort, why not spray it with
INK?
