Hello,
I'm looking for a new printer ribbon for a 1980 dot matrix printer (Nascom IMP). Attached are some photos, was this compatible with any other printer please? I doubt Nascom designed s custom ribbon.

Note on the base is a slotted axle for winding the ribbon.

Thanks,

Not sure if that helps much, but the printer mechanics were apparently sourced from a company named "Two-Day Corporation" in Riverton, Wyoming, USA (That's what the manual says).
 
Thanks Tofro, Google found an advert in Digital Design (June 1981) for Two-Day Corp printer mechanism, the matching one is the GPM-80-A (or B), with 80 columns, 8" platen and 60 lpm. Now need to find some other printers that used this mechanism to help find some ribbons.
Regards,
John
