With this order, you will receive one Universal Ribbon just like one of the ones shown in the picture (one ribbon = two spools). You also have the option to choose a single-color all black ribbon if you do not prefer the black/red as pictured.

These ribbons are nylon, but print clearly and dark as a fresh ribbon should!

To check to see if these ribbons will fit in your machine, see the quick guide below on the Typewriter Ribbons For Sale page, and/or contact me!
