   The High Schoole I sent to had one. Worked very nicely, especially
for the nylon ribbons. The only thing I found was that the ribbon was
darker and looked better if it was reinked for 45 minutes instead of
the recommended 30. The quality was very nice, and some ribbons were
re-inked 4-5 times in one year with no quality loss or any other
problems.  The school only had the re-inker my senior year, so I could
only test things for one year, but I wouldn't expect any other
problems.
