I was looking through the latest issue of MacWorld when I noticed one of the
mail-order retail stores selling "carbon" ribbons for the Imagewriter (I
belive these were advertised as being made by Elephant). Anyone have any
experience with these? Also, any speculations on how this would effect
quality with the Imagewriter, and whether it would be safe to use with the
Imagewriter print head?
I suspect that there would be no problem using it (in fact, I'm curious why
no one has come out with this before), but I thought I'd better throw this
into the Bullpen...
