you re ink the old ribbon... used to do that with tty ribbons.... the
14 inch line printer width...... messy but doable....
I remember having to make a dried ribbon a bit juicer one time strung
it between to poles in the parkinlot and sprayed I think it was a litte
wd-40 on it.... an rolled her back up!
I was lucky when I had computer business... printer would come in
with extra ribbons I would keep a few for shelf stock... in 13
years never had to buy any....
It was the absolute filters I always had to be buying new! only
once did I get a drive with a couple extra new ones

I just experienced the same thing with my newly found DATASAAB D16.
Google turns up three worthwhile mentions and whole host of ribbon
resalers.
I kind of assumed that the printer ribbon was the same as something else
and still awailable. Assuming I am wrong, what should I do to get a
printer ribbon with fresh ink?
