[NHCOLL-L:2102] Re: Information on permanent ink for printer ribbons

[John Friel]

Hi Lex,

We just got some ribbons reinked a few weeks ago so I can confirm that 
Access Computer Printer Products is still in business. They recently 
moved and changed their phone numbers, but did not bother to alert any 
of their customers in the museum community!  We were able to to track 
them down with a little detective work. You can now reach them at:

Access Computer Printer Products, Inc.
1213 Crockett Lane
Silver Spring, MD 20904
Phone: 301-384-1398
Fax: 301-384-1944
