Thanks again for more great info Nick,

I remember you said the Navy had reached out to you looking for ribbons?  Are they still utilizing these machines and did they ever request any of these new designed ones?

I think this will work for replacing the ribbon in an original UGC-136 cartridge. Either a new ribbon or remove, re-ink and replace an old one.

The 3D-printed cartridges don’t need this mod, because we changed the design from the original.
