[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Ribbon problem with IBM Proprinter X24

li@utkux1.utk.edu (li) (12/04/89)

	I purchased a IBM proprinter X24 a year ago.  The ribbon that 
came with the printer has worn out.  I have been trying find the right
ribbon for my printer for a long time, but so far not successful.  
	
	I have bought several different ribbons which are supposed 
to be made for my printer.  They all did not work.  I think the problem
is that ribbon made by IBM are tighter than ribbon made by other 
companies.  As a result, ribbon(made by other company) always come
loose after a few lines of printing.  Anyone else has this kind of
problem?  I have not try any IBM ribbons, could not find a mail order
company that carry them.  

Thanks in advance,
