Abstract
A self-supporting ink lamination is taught particularly useful for a reinking, resistive ribbon printer. In the printer, the ink is typically wound as a spool with an intermediate, separating film. The self-supporting ink is stripped from the intermediate film in the printer and brought to a reinking station of the printer using the cohesive properties of the ink.
