[GreenKeys] Darker Printing? Model 15 Restoration

[hwhall@aol.com]

Usually light printing is a ribbon issue (dried out, etc.).  There's a platen adjustment to "center" the platen face with the typbar's pallets but that problem presents as characters being light at the top or bottom half of the characters.

It may be possible the typebars aren't whacking the ribbon & platen hard enough but there's no adjustment for that, I think.  The typebars may not be moving freely enough? But definitely check the ribbon condition.

Moving the platen(?), or keybasket(?) or if there is a printing darkness setting
Anything that is possible to make the characters more legible will help
Thanks
