One way of rejuvenating your ribbon is to remove the top of the
ribbon carrier, spray it with WD-40 and then let it sit for a
couple of day to dry out. I have used this for a couple of years
and you can get several extra 'cycles' out of the ribbon. WD-40
is also a good lubricant, so maybe that is why it works.
