This looks like a case for a ribbon reinker.  If you want to do this as
cheaply as possible, build your own.  I made one for my Proprinter, with
odd pieces of aluminum(frame),copper tubing with drilled holes (ink
reservoir), clamps (temporary, as you'd do this only once in a while),
and a method to turn the ribbon cartridge.  On the proprinter, I drilled
a hole in the plastic thumbscrew, and made a coat hanger wire device to
chuck into a variable speed drill.  Of course, you have to have at least
one ribbon do do the reinking...

Standard disclaimers apply.  I don't work for any companies mentioned, but
I am available for product endorsements, much like every other household
name in sports, theatre, broadcase, and print media.  My problem, is I'm
not yet a house hold word...
