I used these on some old 1940s typewriters. I kept some on the plastic spools they came on and transfered some to metal spools instead. Popped right in and worked well! Didn't punch holes right through it.Keep in mind I don't use the typewriters regularly but these worked well for our sporadic use and regular testing as I tinkered.

Sadly, less universal than one might hope. It won't fit a Singer T-62 or Royal Safari, but I guess that's on me for not doing better research.I'm too lazy to return it, so I just transferred the ribbon to my old spools, which is kind tedious and messy, but makes me feel very cool. Too bad I put the ribbon on upside down, so now my color settings are reversed, but that's on me.As for the ink level, I'm a little disappointed so far. It works well enough if you press the keys very, very hard, but that's gets tedious. I do a lot of backspacing and re-typing letters that come out too light. This might be improved if I cleaned my type heads, though. I also got a LOT of ink on my hands changing out the ribbon, so maybe it will get better as I get further away from the section I handled.I bought a 4-pack unfortunately, and I'm too lazy for returns and too cheap not to use them, so I'm hoping I'll find that the others are more pigmented. I think I'll invest in a pair of metal spools specific to my T-62 when it's time to change the ribbon again.Sorry, this isn't the most helpful review (unless you have a Singer T-62 or Royal Safari, in which case you might find this very helpful)!

The spools did not fit tight. The ribbon was too loose. Maybe the arms that holds the ribbon is loose. When I typed every was very light.I took me a minute to install the ribbon, been a long time.I did not print anything.The Dart royal machine is old, I had it since 1971 and have not used it since 1973. Some of these problems could come because it is old.

I collect and repair vintage typewriters. The most common issue I run into when cleaning and testing a new typewriter I've brought into my collection is that the ribbon is dry, torn, missing, or otherwise no good. I typically buy ribbons individually as I need them, but as my collection has grown, I saw the usefulness of having a few spares on hand for the machine I just brought home and am excited to use or to help a friend who just bought their first typewriter. To put it plainly, these ribbons are functional enough, they are in a few of my machines, but I would not purchase them again. This is for a number of reasons.First, the quality of these ribbons is lower than any I've seen. They feel thinner than others I've used and the ink is not as vibrant as similarly priced ribbons I've purchased in the past. The spools are cheap, brittle plastic. If your typewriter has the original spools, I'd recommend wrapping the ribbon on those and throwing away the ones that come with this one. There's also no reverse grommet toward the end of the spool which is a feature many machines have that would not be functional using these ribbons.Second, given the way I use my typewriters (letters, journal entries, stories, first drafts, etc.) the slightly more expensive ribbons (you may get 2 for the price of these 4) is a clear choice for me. However, even for the person who has an old typewriter they want to get working and play around on, I would not recommend these. There are many better alternatives, especially if you're able to reuse the original spools your typewriter came with. They will imprint better, last longer, and in my opinion be more enjoyable than these.So who would I recommend these ribbons to? I've given away 2 of the 4 I purchased to friends who needed a ribbon to make their first typewriter functional. One of my friends needed a ribbon for a typewriter he purchased to display in his home. He wanted it to be functional, but didn't intend on using it very often. These were cheap and easy to keep around for that purpose. I could also see using them if you resell typewriters.They're cheap and they function. There's not much more to say about them than that.
