Got a Typewriter?
Got a Vintage Printer
Got Another Device?
See the newest thing is inkjets and lasers- but in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s- most devices that printed had an ink ribbon either on a spool or in a plastic cartridge.
I offer the following services
1. Reink of older printer cartridges
A. Daiseywheel types
B. Dot Matrix types
2. Reink of Bloodpressure printer, printing
calculators, POS (Point Of Sale) cash registers,
and more.
A. Sponge Roller
B. Spools
I can re-use the fabric ribbon and simply rewind it back into the cartridge. Or rewind it back onto the other spool. See the ribbon is still good- only the ink has dried or has been all used up/wasted/spent.
I have created my own formulation of ink
A. Has added lubricants - my own
special blend
B. Black ink only- no colors sorry.
My hands ALWAYS get messy with ink stains when I reink someone's ink ribbon or cartridge. I am never stingy with the ink and always make very sure it is thoroughly reinked.
Wouldn't you enjoy typing a letter on your typewriter again? This time not having to mash on the keys so hard to get it to write?
Wouldn't you enjoy using your old computer again and hearing the rattt tttattt tttaatt sound of the printer.
Wouldn't you like to take your blood pressure and make a printout of today's readings on it.
Usually my price is (see bottom of page for pricing) per cartridge or ribbon depending on size and difficulty. Please do not send me your entire printer or typewriter or device. Just the ribbon or cartridge. Speak to me by phone or email to discuss a price.
I CANNOT REINK NYLON CLEAR RIBBONS WITH A PAINTED ON CARBON LAYER. i CAN ONLY REINK THE MESSY TYPE RIBBONS WHICH STAIN YOUR HANDS AND MADE OF FABRIC.
I try to be reasonably priced. Approx 10day turnaround time (if possible - I reserve the right to be slow - Ink takes time to soak)
I can re-ink 10,000 types of ribbons/cartridges
I can't reink 2,000 types of ribbons/cartridges
I do not refill Inkjet or Laser sorry

I am including Three BASIC drop-down-list-box here for PAYPAL pricing and Purchase. This is not all-encompassing and I will need to create a custom paypal invoice for certain quantities and combos. Here is a BASIC paypal payment button. Choose the option that best fits your order. Use the drop down List Box to Select your calculated Price & Shipping. You can pay multiple times - as long as it ADDS UP to the correct total.
For example - you ordered and then OOPS you found another cartridge - well just paypal again - this time just for the additional one you are adding to the order.
