Re: My new Olympia
I'd like to use the pink ribbon on a few assignments just to throw people off 
A high schooler with a lot of typewriters. That's pretty much about it.

Ha, yeah. I've got to check my son out of school Monday for an appointment. Maybe I will type his excuse note in pink cursive.

I have some blue and it's very nice. Slightly different from black without being distracting, or overwhelming when it covers an entire page. I have seen orange, I think on eBay, and although I like the colour a lot I can't imagine a page of type in that colour!

Re: My new Olympia
I do like the blue, this machine actually came with a blue ribbon in it. It's still got some life left, but was a little faded. I may try the ws-40 trick on it to see if it revives.

Re: My new Olympia
Where do you get blue ribbon? Or any of these other colors?
Smith Premier typewriters are cool!

Re: My new Olympia
Ebay! Most of the ribbons I've purchased have come from either discountprinterribbons (I think that's where I got the colored lack) or fja. I just ordered a blue ribbon from fja.
Yes, so here's a link to the colored pack I got:
And here's the blue one:
Oh, I also just saw that fja has a pack that includes an orange ribbon. I just messaged them to see if I could purchase an orange ribbon individually. I don't want the entire pack.

Re: My new Olympia
FJA contacted me back and said to order a blue ribbon and they'd substitute an orange one for me. So I've got a blue and orange on the way.

Re: My new Olympia
Will do! It should arrive fairly quickly and I'll post a type sample when it does.

Re: My new Olympia
Thanks for the info! I like the looks of the blue ribbon. This is almost as bad as fountain pen ink!
