Making the springey-thingeys with the feed strips.

Good times.

Mmmmmmmmmmm. I worked in an asphalt lab and I can hear that printer going. Now I can even smell the bitumen in the air.

I can hear that smaller image.

Getting a clean tear off the perforated ribbons was so satisfying.

You should print 28 boxes of 3-part forms on a dot matrix printer. Then decollate the bottom page and trim the right edge off of all of them.

You will certainly not regret printing/decollating/trimming 28 boxes of 3-part forms every month for ten years.

Meh. Wake me up when you get a daisy wheel printer. Actually, never mind, the printer will wake me up.

They sound cool. That's all you need to know.

Nah, what you need is one of these.

I print so rarely I feel like the ink would dry out and I wouldn't notice until it was too late.

For carbon copy paper, of course. Inkjets don't work for that.

You would press print and it would just print

That's the peak model too

Re inking ribbons for the win!
