## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product and price
*by S***L on 25 July 2023*

Great product and price. I upcycled an old typewriter but the ink ribbon was completely dried up. Bought this and is still going! I use the typewriter all the time and the ink is still good/clear on the page. Easy to fit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect t
*by T***I on 29 December 2025*

Grrat quality fitted as aspectes

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Printing Good Quality So Far
*by B***D on 14 October 2024*

I have to say right off that the ribbon is producing good quality images in my old printing mechanical calculator and the price point is good ish. I knew the spools would not fit and that I would need to transfer the ribbon to my old spools. This meant that I got to see the whole reel, which brings me to the first negative. At one end of the reel there was a noticeable bleed between the red and black colours. Also, since the spools on a calculator are much smaller than a typical typewriter I was expecting to have enough for two machines. However, all the ribbon fitted on my old spools, with the spools that came with it being nowhere near full. But it is working well, I expect it to last quite a while and I am happy with it.
