Pros

Thanks for a good and reasonably priced item.

This fit & works perfectly on royle heritage deluxe manual typewriter, manufactured 1959-1961. Have to rewind onto original spool on old typewriter but it’s quite zen. Perfect fit for a ‘57 royal quiet de luxe.

Just as described. No fuss, no muss.

The ribbons aren't over- or under-inked and they work just as they should, yielding a nice crisp strike.



Cons

One of the (very) plastic spools was deformed. Not enough plastic was used to fill the spool mold.

Quality


I'm delighted to find that quality ribbons for manual typewriters are so easy to get.


Thankfully i have more machines with the manual reversal so they won't go to waste.

    Tried a cheaper 4 oak from another company but the ink was not good or dried up

    I did have to unwind the ribbon and wind it onto the original spools

    The spools fit great but one important hiccup occurred with the royalite these ribbons do not have grommetseyelets which prevents the automatic ribbon reverse from happening


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I had to swap that ribbon out to the de luxe with manual ribbon reverse and put one with grommets from another company in the royalite


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Its unfortunate because the holes in the spool were perfect for the spool holders and the other companys were a bit wobbly due to their universal nature


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If your typewriter uses an automatic reverse i would probably pass


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I believe it has more to do with strike impact and not the ribbon


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I would suggest watching some youtube videos with installation as the one i watched was close but spool direction was opposite
