ADAM Printer Diablo Hy-Type I Ribbon

A ribbon cartridge for the ADAM's daisy wheel printer, of the Diablo Hy-Type I pattern. Coleco did not invent a supply of its own for the printer: Hy-Type I was Diablo's 1970 daisy wheel standard and its ribbons were sold everywhere, which is the reason the ADAM's printer can still be fed today.

Worth knowing

• The printer strikes a formed character through the ribbon onto the page, so ribbon condition decides how the output looks entirely.
• Compatible cartridges were made by several suppliers and turn up under other names.

WHETHER THIS IS COLECO'S OWN PACKAGING or a compatible cartridge kept with the machine wants confirming from the item, since the pattern was an industry one rather than a Coleco part.
