[GreenKeys] Ribbons that don't dry out?

[Nick]

Yes, recycled spray bottle, that's what I am using.
Bought a very small bottle of ink many years ago at an office supply store for my stamp pad - that's what I am using. Not even sure if there is such a thing as ribbon ink.

Any particular kind of ink?  And I'm assuming the misting is by means of
a recycled pump spray bottle, or can you get ink in an aerosol container
these days?
