Check out eBay item #250198517790 or #260194831148 or
any of several others under "imagewriter ribbon".

There's always the risk of a "dry" ribbon with old stock, but it's
worth a chance.  (I don't know what "POS" means...)

A Google search for <imagewriter ribbon color> also turns up lots
of new ones.  Google is your friend.  ;-)
