It works! Printer ink and toner

It's just a ribbon but it keeps coming out. I used to buy cassettes that got lighter and darker as the cycle ended/began. That was not the case with this band. Very happy with the results with both black and red.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Negative is present

I have all the black and red and black ribbons for my old Olivetti #21. They seem to work well and I appreciate them being particularly helpful Instructions in red and black packaging. I'm keeping this old car as it works great, is strong and heavy and has a connection to my past. my old Rolleiflex, Leica and my old radio all work great, thanks. Ha!

Pros
  • Best in their niche
Cons
  • Some cons

The tape was fine, the spools didn't fit me.

tape color was ok. However, on my particular Olivetti Lettera 22, these spools did not allow the nut (original for that machine) to be tightened enough to prevent the nut from touching the underside of the belt cover when it was in place. Therefore, the spool often rotated with difficulty. Without the tape cover, the new coils worked fine. So I had to peel off the new tape and put it on my old reels. On my old coils, the nut was tighter so the nut didn't scratch or grind under the tape coverโ€ฆ

Pros
  • finally bought
Cons
  • weight

Works very well with printer ink and toner

Works fairly well with my Olivetti Lettera 32, the only thing I'm not 100% excited about are the plastic spools but otherwise the red and black ribbon works very well ok so I can't complain yet that I paid less than $10 for the tape.

Pros
  • Brilliantly finished
Cons
  • Very expensive

So far so good

Got all black and red/black tape for my old Olivetti #21. They seem to work well and I especially appreciate the helpful instructions on the red/black one Packaging. I'm keeping this old car as it works great, strong and heavy and connects to my past like my old Rolleiflex, Leica and antique radio all work great thanks Ha!

Pros
  • 2" spool
Cons
  • Can't remember

A tape from fifty years ago?

My typewriter, which I used in college decades ago, is invaluable to me, so I was glad to find the right ribbon for it. I eagerly ordered it and waited patiently for its arrival. The tape came as expected, sealed in a plastic bag. I eagerly installed it, expecting crisp, rich letters on the page. I don't have any. In fact, the writing was only slightly darker than the fifty-year-old tape that had previously been in the car. It was a waste of my money and a terrible disappointment. Lookโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Black/Red Cloth Ribbon
Cons
  • unreliable
