Some machines will need the use of the original spools but the majority can use the plastic replacement spools that come with these ribbons. If the spools don't fit then simply wind the new ribbon onto the original spool.
Only typewriters that have the option of multi-colored ribbons can use the black and red or black with correction. Look for the black, red and white dot's on your typewriter ribbon selector. If you don't have a ribbon selector then you will need to order the black ribbon.
All of these ribbons are manufactured for me at the time of order. These ribbons are fresh and come with a freshness guarantee from the manufacturer. You will receive 2 ribbons of your choice. Black, Black/Red, Black/Correction or Mix them to your needs!
Black is recommend for most applications.
Black and red were more for accounting purposes but many collectors like the look of a black and red ribbon in their typewriters.
Black with Correction(Currently Out of Stock!) is great if you use your typewriter a lot! To use, just backspace to the error, switch the ribbon selector to RED and re-strike the error character. Then backspace, switch back to the BLACK setting and type the correct character. It's simple, clean and fast.
International shipping is $14 USD for up to 6 ribbons.
