[GreenKeys] TTY Ribbons

[Sheldon Daitch]

I wonder if the color of the ribbons varied from state to state or 
region to region
AP vs UPI?

I was almost sure the AP used black ribbons and fanfold boxed paper
about the quality of poor newsprint but thicker and an off-white, from
my days in radio in Georgia and Model 15s

For some reason, I was thinking that UPI used yellow canary paper,
with purple ribbons on their Model 15s.

Later, when the Extel AH-11 printers were more the norm, I think most
Extel subscribers used rolled off-white paper and black ink.

But I also seem to recall the Extel printers were marketed with
two printing versions, one using regular paper with inked ribbons
and another version without the ribbon printing, but requiring the
special one ply version of no-carbon required paper.

But back to the Model 15 AP and UPI paper and ink color,
did it vary from state to state?
