@kalleboo@bitbang.social @shiawase@mastodon.social That looks great! ☀️
I can actually still buy brand new tractor feed paper from my local office supplier! Both portrait and landscape, pre-punched or plain (even blue/white pyjamas paper!)
The IW ribbons are trickier though. I’ve had issues lately getting good working new ones. Saving the cases and transplanting fresh ribbons from newer cartridges may be a way forward but it can be a messy process.
Impact printers are still a thing. Epson even makes brand new ones!

@danieltufvesson@mastodon.social @kalleboo@bitbang.social Now I want to know the market and specific use case of impact printers! Not having had the need I've never looked into tractor feed paper or imagewriter ribbons.

@danieltufvesson@mastodon.social @kalleboo@bitbang.social @shiawase@mastodon.social There’s a German eBay seller that I’ve bought a couple of ribbons from over the years and they’ve both worked great! https://ebay.us/m/o75FoD
