Great value
Replacement for a Royal Heritage typewriter. Fit perfect and I did have problems initially with the type but soon found out the keys had excessive ink built up around the type so a toothbrush and rubbing alcohol to clean the keys and it cleared up the type perfect!$20 yard sale typewriter +$15 4 Replacement ribbons,I think is a great deal!

Worked great!
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.

Ribbons Fit great
These ribbons fit well on my old Sears manual typewriter. However, I wish the ribbons were inked a bit more, as the type is somewhat faint. Has anyone tried Re-inking them successfully? I’ve also read that unrolling and lightly put a few drops of WD40 along the ribbon to juice it up a bit to get a darker type. Has anyone used this method?

Typewriter ribbon
How cool is it that these things are still made?!?!Okay, so if you don’t know how to use a type writer, and you run out of tape, you just turn it upside and keep rotating it until there’s no more ink.The lower case gets blotchy. The ink is a little heavy at first but then I’ve never used a type writer with fresh ink before. It dries rather quickly and is super easy to use.The ribbon seems durable enough to withstand with mechanical punches of my old type writer.

Either horribly dry or completely ink-less
Just tried to use these to replace a ribbon and it seems like there's no ink. It fit on the spools but it doesn't type at all, not even a shadow of ink. I could even tell when I opened them that the ribbons are completely dry. I'm very disappointed but they were cheap and I guess I can try re-inking them but that is not what I was expecting when I bought them. I could just re-ink the original vintage ribbon in that case because these are also cheap quality. Zero stars if I could.

Doesn't fit Singer T-62 or Royal Safari
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)!
