Been thinking of doing something similar, I have an Apple ImageWriter and Atari 1025 sitting in my basement. Does anyone know how long dot matrix ink ribbons last new?
Do you mean last as in how long until they dry out or last in how much you can print?
It's usually linear inches of text - which depends on how much you're printing.
Yeah print… reading anything from a few months to a year. Not bad for how cheap the ribbons are.
I feel like the author cannot tell a serial and a parallel port apart?
