They want a 1403 ribbon, huh? Do they want a usable one? That might be tough :-). Learning to change a printer ribbon without getting any ink on me was the hardest skill I learned in my career as an operator (the disposable plastic gloves were only sporadically available; and obviously, didn't protect your arms, legs, torso, face, hair...). I never operated a 3800, but I guess it was worse. Those guys always looked like they'd been working in a coal mine at the end of the shift.
