Hi!

I have questions regarding printer ribbons for the Commodore MPS 1230
printer:

1. Where can they be bought from (preferrably in Sweden)?

2. Which printer model(s) use the same ribbon as Commodore MPS 1230? On the
web, the information is conflicting. It often says that it is the same as
for Olivetti DM 105 Smallcart 2. On the other hand, at a few places it says
that it is the same as for Olivetti DM 100. When I look at pictures on the
web, my cartridges look exactly the same as for Olivetti DM 100 but they
don't look at all like the Olivetti DM 105 cartridges. Therefore, I guess
that they are the same as for Olivetti DM 100 although on the same web pages
it says that the Olivetti DM 105 cartridges are also for Commodore MPS 1230,
which is very confusing.

Try looking at the web sites of a few other vendors that sell printer
ribbons for old printers.  It is possible that the pictures got switched on
the website you already looked at.
