SMCO OLYMPIA BLACK RED TYPEWRITER RIBBON TWINSPOOL WILL FIT MOST OLD TYPEWRITERS

Great product and price. I upcycled an old typewriter but the ink ribbon was completely dried up. Bought this and is still going! I use the typewriter all the time and the ink is still good/clear on the page. Easy to fit.

It was exactly what I was looking for at a really good price

Perfect fit for my typewriter. It took a while to dispatch and the tracking info was never updated but the seller responded very quickly with info update. This delay could have been due to it being ordered between Christmas and the New Year so that makes sense, especially considering it's a small business.I will be purchasing again since it was fairly priced and easy to fit!

It's great to be able to buy ribbons for old typewriters at all and this is probably as good as you'll find. Paying more or choosing a different seller probably won't make much difference. But treat claims like '100% compatible' and 'will fit most old typewriters' with caution. Usually, you'll need to wind the ribbon onto your old spools. Half marks too for the fact that you get only half a spool of ribbon. The illustration does show what to expect, but because each turn reels in more as the diameter increases, the ribbon is roughly half the length of my original. 'Roughly' because it's also much thinner material, which has implications for drying out and uneven inking. I've bought more than a dozen SMCO ribbons and their quality has varied, but variable, short, thin or not they are a better option than any of the re-inking ideas you'll find on-line. Unless you are going to use the red, a plain black ribbon may be best as that avoids the chance of some 'bleed'.

Good value for money, but too big for my typewriter, my fault as did not check the size.

I liked the typewriter ribbon. It was easy to fit on my typewriter and the quality of the ink was very good

Good value. Easy to fit. Restoring an old typewriter. Just need to fully clean and lubricate it now!

I was delighted to find that the ribbon was identical to the original one I found in an Olympia typewriter I received for my 18th birthday in 1965. I can now type to my hearts content.

Bei dem SM-Band handelt es sich -entgegen der Darstellung- nicht um ein Original "Pelikan-" oder "Olympia"-Band, auch wenn es in eine "Olympia" (=Standardgröße) passt. Der Farbabdruck ist etwas blass und unscharf, was nicht an der Schreibmaschine liegen kann, weil sie erst technisch überholt wurde.Rowa

correspond bien au besoin

Je suis plutôt satisfaite de mon achat, il y a eu un peu de retard au niveau de la livraison, et pas de numéro de suivi disponible avec ce vendeur, mais les rubans ont l’air neuf et c’est exactement la taille pour mon olympia !

Bonjour, les bobines acheter pour rien , ne fonctionne pas du tout , toutes sèches à l’intérieur , je suis très déçu , ce n’est pas normal qu’on ne ce fais pas rembourser.
