Good quality - detail problem

You have to press very hard to get the ink dark enough on the paper. I will say that the real quality of the material is very good and high. It's heavy and looks well made. The only problem is that one of our keys was duplicated (i.e. we had two identical keys). Luckily, this isn't a key that's used often. We contacted customer service who advised us to return it to Amazon and order another. We didn't do it because the key doesn't bother us too much.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Not fancy

Upgrading my rating from 1 star to 5 stars

My second comment(s) concerns the little Royale. I finally persuaded myself to open the instruction manual and to my surprise I was able to get my hands on the little guy. Here we go, BUT WITH SOME NOTES AND QUESTIONS. (1) Steel keyboard protector. Do I need to keep it after removing it? (2) Ribbon slips when I type. Which means? (3) Requires two plastic carrier rail stops. There was none. It seems to me that I might have trouble installing these items if they send me replacement parts.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • A long time ago

bad spacing, uneven writing

Having owned a typewriter before, I didn't expect it to be perfect out of the box. I knew some adjustments would be needed, such as: B. Replacing the ribbon with a new one and adjusting the vertical alignment so that the bottom of the hanging letters is displayed correctly. What I didn't like is that I often found that the paper didn't move properly after typing a letter, like the "s" in "smells" and the "H" in "hearts" on the image shown. To my dismay, the printed lines tended to be extremely…

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • Expensive

A GREAT MACHINE FOR PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW TO MAINTAIN OLD TYPES

THIS IS A GREAT GUY IF YOU ARE USED TO WHAT A REAL OLD TYPEWRITER LOOKS AT. I've read reviews here of people complaining that the buttons are hard to press. THIS IS MADE FOR PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND THAT OLD CLASSICS SHOULD BE TREATED AS THEIR HEALTH. YOU SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS. THIS IS NOT IPAD OR LAPTOP. THIS IS NOT EVEN THE ELECTRIC VERSION OF THE 90'S PRINTING PRESS. GHOST! This is because they are old-school classic fonts. YOU MUST PRESS FIRMLY. DURABILITY: That's great BUT you have to keep

Pros
  • Easy to Use
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide
