Description:
What I did so far:
- cleaned and oiled the mechanism because everything was stuck
- put a shrink tube on the platen
- new Casio ink roller
- tried 3 different inks.
Fountain pen ink is too liquid, Pelikan ink for stamps is better, but
right now I get the best results with ink for Linocuts. This ink is not liquid at all.
But there is still room for improvement.
Suggestions to improve the quality of the imprint are appreciated...

My first typewriter had a Script typeface. The second machine was a Graphika with the Cassandre typeface.
I quickly discovered my interest in different typefaces, so I focused my collection on them.
Currently I can choose from 36 different typefaces.
