The carbon literally falls off the ribbon onto the page, so the third pass would be very spotty indeed. <br /><br />Richard - I just realized the Hermes 3000 doesn't have any ribbon arms at all! So I switched the ribbon to another machine and it seems to work better. Typecast up in a few minutes.Adwoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457285629002149759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-52244092490491204302010-09-25T05:44:03.066+02:002010-09-25T05:44:03.066+02:00I can see in the "set-up" picture that c...I can see in the "set-up" picture that characters are overlapping, i.e. the ribbon is not advancing quickly enough.

When you have a 2-color ribbon in there it's a cool two-tone effect with that setting.notagainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02915679111849352765noreply@blogger.com
