Interest in newly manufactured ImageWriter II color ribbons?
Posted by: GameMan370 on 2026-03-31 17:14:09
I’m potentially looking to get a batch of newly manufactured color ribbons produced for the ImageWriter II. It would require a large purchase on my behalf from the manufacture so I thought to gauge interest from the community if anyone might be interested in purchasing some afterwards? I’m estimating final cost to be ~$40 CAD plus shipping.

As a side, I am aware that MacEffects produce these too but I’ve been waiting on their list for a while and reading conflicting info online if they will ever produce another batch so I thought to have some produced just in case.

Yes, Please! I'm writing a newspaper using my Mac SE on a low budget and my ImageWriter II ribbon is parched. It's low on dot matrix paper too but I can find that if you've got the ribbons. I'll put a nice column about you in the newspaper.
Does $40 CAD = cash after delivery? Never heard of CAD.
Don't wait for delayed promises from others, just get a batch I'm sure others will bite. Put me in for 5 ribbons please. No rush, I'm using a Style Writer 2500 on another computer for now.

40 Canadian Dollars, or roughly 28.78 US Dollars.

Sounds good!
I’ll keep you posted, it may take a few weeks once all is said and done (manufacturing, shipping, etc.)
CAD is Canadian Dollars

Perfect!
I just sent payment to the manufacturer, so they should hopefully start producing some time next week once payment clears.
