DMP 2000 - re-inking the ribbon

As of 2023 ink ribbons for the DMP-2000 are no longer available.

If the ribbon is still functioning, it's possible to re-ink the ribbon with some oil based ink.

The process is quick and easy:

• get some oil based ink, e.g. "Pelikan 351353 - stamp pad ink with oil"
• open the right plastic case of the ribbon
• soak the sponge with ink (use gloves!)

• put everything back together
• print several pages full of text until the ribbon is soaked again with ink

To speed up the process, you can use a small sponge, soak it with ink and press it against the ribbon while the printer prints.
