A Carbon Ribbon and Techno Pica



Notice that this Hermes does not have a card guide.  If anyone has one as a spare part or a non working 3000 for parts please let me know.  I am looking for knobs, a card guide and a platen.

  1. Looks like good results. Do you like this technique?

  2. @Rcihard, I think it is fine with Techno font, but I may not like the clear crisp lines of the font on my older typewriters when I try the ribbon on them. I do like the price of the ribbons; dirt cheap on ebay. I made a spindle to hold the take up reel in my drill so I could spool the ribbon off of the specialized IBM spool.

  3. That's very nice. My 1961 is also techno. It's still my number 1.

  4. I have one of these plastic carbon ribbons in my '57 Underwood Golden Touch. The slab-serif font works well with carbon ribbons.

  5. Ah...techno typeface! Something definitely on my wish-list.

    You should have not identified that doodle. It would have no doubt elicited quite a few questions! ;-)
