You can own the most beautiful typewriter on the Earth, but, if you have a dry ribbon, your writing experience shall be very frustrating. I got on eBay a wonderful Selectric I, totally refurbished and absolutely perfect. The ribbon was not at its 100%, so I bought another ribbon. It is very difficul to find one, and - living in Europe - extremely expensive, but that's it. New ribbon looks ok, but frankly the printing is not so much different. This is my question: is it possible to find a ribbon fully and totally working, as NEW? I mean letters well printed, with UNIFORM and FULL ink everywhere? Or every Sel. I is old and partially dry? Of course it is a traditional ribbon, (the first model hasn't corrector film).

Thanks
