well the wd 40 trick is not that messy if you take a cardbord or plastic
box and wrap the ribbon onto it nicely next to each other. sraying and
rereeling it onto the spool is very efficient and clean.
althoug i reink now with big refillable markers filled with stamp-ink
and a contraption made of meccano to reel the ribbon
