[GreenKeys] Figures characters printing lightly

[Richard Knoppow]

     I would think if the ribbon lift was off the characters 
would print evenly. Is the character uneven or just light? If its 
uneven it could be the ribbon vibrator or what is called in a 
typewriter the "on feet" adjustment, which controls how the type 
is aligned with the curvature of the platen.  If the upper case 
characters are even but light it might have to do with the force 
on the type bar and I don't know how that is adjusted on a TT 
machine.
    Another thought: try turning the ribbon over and see if that 
makes any difference.
