Great! Does exactly what it needs to do.
Does exactly what it needs to do. I recently received a Adler Tippa Typewriter from the 70's and the ribbon that came with it was old and worn out. Found this one and decided to give it a go. It works exactly like it should :). I also appreciate the added directions for installation and the fact that it is a small, veteran owned business.

Works on an old Brother Webster from early 1960s
Bought an old Brother Webster typewriter from early 1960s; took a little work to get old ribbon off, new one on but that's not this product's fault! This ribbon works perfectly. Good, clean ink. Would buy again

Seems a wee bit shorter than expected
Easy install into a typewriter that had a ribbon in tatters. Perhaps the ribbon advance on that typewriter is having issues because I wasn't even able to go through 1, double spaced page of typing before it reversed winding direction. No complaints other wise.

Lots of ink, spools fit my old typewriter, and grommets for reversing.
Everything I wanted in a replacement ribbon for my 40's Smith Corona Silent portable.-The universal spools snuggled down easily and engaged the little drive sprocket.-The ribbon is nice and inky!-Grommets to trip the auto-reverse arms.And it's made in USA by a vet-owned company.Five Stars!

Fits Our Antique Royal
We bought a 1930's Royal Junior typewriter for our American Girl. A beautiful machine, at a resonable cost, showed really no wear and worked well, but the ribbon's ink was minimal.The lighter, plastic-like spools fit it perfectly, and our Kit Kitredge is tick, tick, ticking away. My wife was amazed that they still offer ribbons for typewriters. I don't know, call me a dinosaur, but I enjoy typing, too.They sent out the order the day I placed it. Very satisfied.

Prints well, fits well
Currently I have these in my Royal Caravan and my Royal Sahara (same as Triumph and Adler Tippa S) they fit just fine and print well. They also have the grommet in them which is important for these typewriters as the grommet actuates the automatic ribbon reverse.

Absolutely NOT
For ten bucks I expected the bare minimum: ink. As you can see from the pic it's pointless. Barely showing up on the paper, despite is having "ink" that stained my fingertips while installing in my Royal. Uneven and terrible. Pathetic product and not worth a dollar. Zero stars if I could. Shop for another brand.

Works great with 100 year old Underwood typewriter
It took me about 15 minutes to figure out how to put this into my 100 year old Underwood typewriter (only because I'm 26 and never saw one before), but the ribbon went in no problem, they turn on each key stroke and the quality is dark and clear. I am very pleased with this product and would certainly order another as soon as my first ribbon is near to running out.It's kind of mind blowing that in this day and age we have so much technological wonder when it comes to creating. Using something mechanical like an old typewriter has this very real feeling as you hit each key (and put your arm into it I might add). Call me a hipster or a dork, but I love using this on my Underwood typewriter.

Universal Ribbon
This universal ribbon is great and has enabled me to resurrect an old typewritter for my mother to use. It should last her for years.

Yes, it's working, however the tape is looking rather dry (old?)
