As of 2023 ink ribbons for the DMP-2000 are no longer available.
If the ribbon is still functioning, it's possible to re-ink the ribbon with some oil based ink.
The process is quick and easy:
- get some oil based ink, e.g. "Pelikan 351353 - stamp pad ink with oil"
- open the right plastic case of the ribbon
- soak the sponge with ink (use gloves!)
- put everything back together
- print several pages full of text until the ribbon is soaked again with ink
To speed up the process, you can use a small sponge, soak it with ink and press it against the ribbon while the printer prints.
