I recently bought new ribbons for Decwriter II and TI Omni 810
without any

I'm having this issue right now with a Panasonic printer. The black
ink ribbons are still a dime/dozen. The 4-color ribbons are NLA from
Panasonic and finding them is proving to get quite difficult.
I'd be more than happy to re-thread a cartridge, but where does one
find CMYK 1 inch fabric ribbon?

Jason,
Is it cheaper to do it that way luckily I got 40 new ribbon cartrages
with my C-64 purchase.. Do they have screws or are they hot glued
together?
They are, of course, glued together... I actually (finally) found a
vendor online selling these new. He said that while Panasonic has
discontinued production, a Chinese company has picked it up. I ordered
2 at $25/each (ouch!). We'll see when they get here. Regardless, if I
can find a source for 1 inch CMYK ribbon stock I'll have a few carts to
mess around with.
