The Twin Writer was the printer I got when my just-started small
business purchased its first computer equipment in 1986. Like most
two-in-one combo products, it was a real dog.

I ended up using two different ribbon cartridges-- the expensive single
pass carbon film for final client docs...and a cloth one that looped
around over and over for internal office draft printing.

My advice? Deep-six it-- or sell it to a collector. Then buy a new
printer-- they're dirt-cheap...
