The spools were shrinkwrapped, and by that I mean that someone in the mid-80s sealed shrinkwrap-style plastic around them but never shrunk the plastic. This probably contributed to why they're lighter than I had hoped. There are also fingerprints from whomever handled them before sealing them, which is partially why the spool looks so dim at the top of the image compared to the shiny spool I already had at the bottom.

I've only taken the time to test one spool on a manual typewriter since my machines are currently not fully ready for use, and while it makes a fairly light mark, it is still readable. When purposefully adding excessive force to keystrokes, output gets nice and dark. I expect to get some good use out of these even without re-inking.
