[GreenKeys] Model 15 Print Quality

 Your type pallets are dirty.  Clean the B first.  Q-tip and alcohol.AD6MC

 Greetings GreenKeyers --
Below is a photo of some print from my model 15 TTY.  I had been using a ribbon that I had re-inked myself using methods I'm too embarrassed to admit.  Let's just say the ribbon was juicy and the print looked a little blob-ish.

I've now moved to a new-old-stock ribbon that may be a little light on ink compared to how it was when it left the factory. As can be seen in the photos with the NOS ribbon, the top of the B has some issues, and other characters with closed elements (A, D, O, P, R) have lesser issues as well.  Would switching to a brand new ribbon with proper ink levels likely cure the printing issues?   Or would improving the print quality require some adjustment of the type-heads themselves (something I'm very reluctant to undertake as I expect I might turn it into a mess).
Paul, ad7i
