Thanks to Mick Needham for this. He suggested cotton wool in the printer ribbon cassette. I tried it and it worked. Using dental rolls (free) cut into 3 and endorsing ink (1 bottle, free so far), my one ribbon has printed millions of characters and is still going strong (famous last words). Note also that there is no cost for envelopes yet. Careful opening of your envelopes enables me to re-use the majority (please don't take this to mean that you need not send return packing, as if you were to do this I would end up with no spare envelopes). Not entered into the calculation is: Electricity. Can anyone tell me how much an hour it costs to have a Master and monitor switched on? Time. How much an hour do you lot reckon I am worth? I was talking to my boss a while back. He was saying that it will not be long before I will be paid what I am worth. This I found slightly alarming and brought it to his attention that I would prefer the going rate. Total Expenditure since issue 23: £450.52p. £450.52p.
