Apple ImageWriter LQ Black ribbon A9G0335 ?

[mkinn]

Anybody remember which C.Itoh printer uses this ribbon? looking for a link to some newly made ones.

I found some new ribbons a while back, but now, all i find are N.O.S, and probably dried up, or the ink no longer has any lubricating qualities left in it.

Have you tried using WD-40? So long as the foam roller inside some ribbon units doesn't fall apart I've revived a number of ribbon cartridges by flooding it with WD-40.
