Questions & Answers

Do you think this would work with a Brother 850TR Deluxe? I appreciate it! ?

There is a high probability of this happening It's a universal reel with Brother typewriters, some of which use old-fashioned metal reels from the 1940s. I've even used old-school metal reels before in my Brother typewriters.

Do the spools of yarn have metal or plastic handles?

I am so sorry for the delay, Sandy. Amazon sells both the 1930's Royal Desktop and the 1920's LC Smith Corona, but all of the other spools are plastic. Spools made of metal are available.

What typewriter will it be? Is it an Underwood #5?

In short, yes. I have one like that, and it fits perfectly.

How does it fit Royal typewriters from the 1930s? A little over 2" diameter is the spool that is in it at the moment. The hole in it is about an inch wide. ?

I own a 1930 Royal Aristocrat which fits this hose.

So far, this is the best ribbon I've found! Rather than stick with the same ribbon manufacturer for my Olympia SM3 and Monica de Luxe typewriters, I switched over to a couple other manufacturers
5/5

I included two page samples one from this ribbon manufacturer, and one from another. I apologize, but the ribbon sample I have now is the only one I have from the other ribbon manufacturer, and I wasn't going to switch it out These EBS ribbons leave a more crisp impression on the page, are perfectly inked, and they each include metal eyelets that are near the end of the I tried another ribbon that had too heavily inked letters, and the ribbon material left smudged, fuzzy letters. They did not have the metal eyelets either.

I am floored! It has made a great deal of difference
5/5

What a great ribbon collection! The quality of these is excellent. It's great to have these ribbons! Those typesetters belonged to my grandfather. If you need one, please contact me. The answer to that question is no. It is based on the 1923 model 5. The ribbon I used was from the 1980s, and it was pretty dry, and it was a pretty faint print. I am floored! It has made a great deal of difference. This makes a great letter and is very inky! In addition, some of the reviews on Amazon weren't very positive for other ribbons. The one I found most promising appeared to be this one. There are quite a few of these produced regularly by this company, so they aren't just old stock that has been lying around for a while. There is no doubt that these are The ink on these papers was so inky that I had to wash my hands twice as I inserted them in the typewriter! The good thing is that it's a continuous process ).

I worked on my Remington Rand rifle from the 1940s
5/5

I was able to use this ribbon on my 1940s Remington Rand typewriter, but I was forced to wind it by hand from the big plastic spools onto the metal ones that came with it since the diameter of the plastic ones was too large for the original ones.

A nylon ribbon with a hard surface will not get chewed up as easily as a cotton ribbon
5/5

Despite the fact that the description for this ribbon said it was cotton, it is actually My friend requested I refurbish/refresh a 1950s office typewriter, for which I am a typewriter technician. Since the platen's condition required nylon ribbon, I was actually looking for a nylon ribbon. A nylon ribbon with a hard surface will not get chewed up as easily as a cotton ribbon. This print will not be as dark, but will last for a very long time.

The Smith Corona Corsair Deluxe is not compatible with these
3/5

The typewriter change that should have taken fifteen minutes was completed in ninety minutes. My S-style printer is not compatible with the spools on which the ribbons are wound Corsair Deluxe, model C. The ribbon was provided and I had to manually spool it onto my old spool with a lot of effort. The seller should have been more precise in his description, and I will take more care.

My portable typewriter is a Real Typewriter, so I am delighted to find ribbons for it
5/5

This ribbon is just what I was looking for it is nice and black, it is sturdy, and it is Unlike a real typewriter, there's nothing like a real typewriter No matter what you do, sometimes it's not enough. There are some of us who feel this way. There are sometimes those like me who just want to be at home, which isn't altogether bad, in times of pandemics. My choices have been narrowed considerably, and as I recall, going back to the Portable Hermes typewriter (all light green with the cute rounded profile) places me back in 1961, when I BOUGHT that Hermes with the year - I received a hefty end of year bonus from my first job when I was still in So let me get to the point If ribbon merchants were not providing these supplies to us at this time of great electronic development, I am certain we would all still be content and happy, even though we do have computers and tablets and all. But how could we do that without the humble Ribbon? I appreciate your help.

It's 10 times better and only half the cost
5/5

I go through a lot of ribbons as a novelist who writes all his first drafts on typewriters. Therefore, I have tried quite a few other brands, and the ones sold by FJA are the best. They are super-safe and are durable as well. It makes a nice, dark impression on paper since it is saturated with ink. Moreover, they are an American company with disabled veterans on staff. I will only buy those ribbons from now on. Chinese crap that goes dry in a few days makes up the bulk of the others. I'm a FJA baby all the way!.

It can be used with almost any typewriter
5/5

As a collector of typewriters, I have been able to use these ribbons on a wide variety of typewriters from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. For some of them, I had to remove the ribbon from the spool and then reinstall it It's best to thread the ribbon onto an original spool made for that typewriter, and I suggest using nitrile or latex gloves to protect your fingers and thumbs from getting inked up. These systems seem to be working well in general.
