Subject: Printer ribbon sources
All:
I just came across a Tandy printer (DMP105, 26-1276) and I'm
having problems finding a ribbon for it. The OEM replacement catalog number
is 26-1288 which I believe can be used on the DMP-106, too. I'm wondering if
anyone has knows of a suitable replacement or a consistent source for dot
matrix printer ribbons for "classic" printers. The ribbon itself looks to be
in good condition so I guess I could re-ink it, in which case, what's the
best ink for that?

Computer friends, they still sell the macinker, a reinking tool for dot
matrix ribbons. They sell ink, and also ribbon and a ribbon-welder to weld
the loose ribbon together.
They are also a good source for laser toner, etc...
