IBM Selectric II User Manual

Selecting Typing Supplies
Ribbons
All film ribbons for the "Selectric"
II
Typewriter are provided in cartridges.
This reduces the number of ribbon
changes and makes changing of ribbons
simpler and cleaner than before.
IBM's two different film ribbons combine
special
smear resistant inks with a highly
elastic ribbon base that "shapes" to each
character as it prints.
IBM Tech IM Ribbon
This new and exclusive film ribbon is a
major break-through in ribbon technology.
It provides a high quality, uniform image
on a broader ränge of papers than carbon
film ribbons, and reduces ribbon changes
to 1/12th of the former "Selectric"
Typewriter. It combines the best quality
features of carbon film with the long
life previously available only with fabric
ribbons. This ribbon is only available in
black.
IBM Carbon Film Ribbon
This is the same high quality film ribbon
that
IBM pioneered and made available
for the former model "Selectric" Type-
writer. For the "Selectric" II Typewriter,
this Carbon Film Ribbon is provided in a
specially designed cartridge that not only
simplifies ribbon changing but reduces
the number of ribbon changes.
In addition to Black, Carbon Film Rib-
bons are available in a variety of colors-
Light Blue, Medium Blue, Dark Blue,
Medium Green, Dark Green, Medium
Brown, Dark Brown and Red.
Note: - The name and reorder number
of each ribbon appear on the underside
of the ribbon cartridge.
