🖤 Type smarter, not harder — the ribbon that keeps your legacy machines alive!
This Correctable Film Ribbon Cartridge is a brand new, solid black replacement ribbon designed exclusively for IBM Selectric III typewriters manufactured after February 1982, including models 1210, 196, 196C, and 210. Made in the USA by a veteran-owned company, it offers a cost-effective, plug-and-play solution that replaces multiple OEM part numbers, backed by dedicated North American customer support.

Very good.

Defective
Ribbon arrived with broken spring assembly. Cheaply made. Repaired the spring assembly issue but the ribbon still wouldn't advance when typing.

Can't type without a ribbon
Would you believe that a product as simple as a typewriter ribbon for an IBM Selectric III is simply not available in the 'normal' office supply stores. Alas, Amazon to the rescue - should have gone there first before wasting all that gas and time. The ribbons arrived timely as promised and better yet, they work, just as well as any IBM branded ribbon I've ever used. Great product, great service, reasonable prices - what more could you ask for.

Not too happy with typewriter ribbons
They don't compare to IBM ribbons. I have to type everything twice. Plus, it doesn't fit in perfectly to my typewriter.

Well, OK I think but a little bit expensive.

Hard to find ribbon
You can't get this ribbon in most office supply stores anymore. When you have an IBM Selectric you need this ribbon! Be careful you order the right ribbon for the machine you own.

RIPOFF
double rip-off!!!!First, the price is more than triple what others charge( in office storesthese used to be $6 or $7),and second, if you compare the quantity of ribbon, it is 1/3 to 1/2 lessthan what was once supplied on the spool/fits on the spool.I was astonished to find I had run out of ribbon in 2 months-these usedto last 6 months with my flow of typing. They weigh about 1/2 what original spools did.

Yes, I still use a typewriter.
These cartridges are getting hard to find. I do not believe that IBM or Lexmark make them anymore, so I have to rely on aftermarket suppliers. This one works well, came promptly and did not cost me too much. I will use them again.
