[GreenKeys] Ribbons that don't dry out?

[John, W9DDD]

I didn't think of that, I have a couple of bottles of stamp pad ink.  It 
has a sponge like end on the bottle.  I guess I could use as intended, 
you squeeze the bottle as you rub across the the stamp pad.  But, that 
sounds a little tedious.  I'll do some experimenting.
