[GreenKeys] Model 15 Print Quality

[ad7i]

Greetings GreenKeyers --

Below is a photo of some print from my model 15 TTY.  I had been using a
ribbon that I had re-inked myself using methods I'm too embarrassed to
admit.  Let's just say the ribbon was juicy and the print looked a little
blob-ish.

I've now moved to a new-old-stock ribbon that may be a little light on ink
compared to how it was when it left the factory. As can be seen in the
photos with the NOS ribbon, the top of the B has some issues, and other
characters with closed elements (A, D, O, P, R) have lesser issues as
well.  Would switching to a brand new ribbon with proper ink levels likely
cure the printing issues?   Or would improving the print quality require
some adjustment of the type-heads themselves (something I'm very reluctant
to undertake as I expect I might turn it into a mess).

Paul, ad7i
