Royal Typewriter Ribbon FAQs
1. What size ribbon does a Royal typewriter use?
Many Royal typewriters use a ½-inch (12.7 mm) ribbon, but ribbon and spool requirements can vary between models. Select your exact Royal model from the compatibility list above to view the compatible replacement ribbon.
2. How do I change a Royal typewriter ribbon?
Open the ribbon cover and note how the existing ribbon passes through the ribbon guides and ribbon vibrator before removing the old spools. Fit the replacement ribbon following the same path, then gently turn one spool to remove any slack. If you’re unsure, contact InkSmart with your Royal model number and we’ll help.
3. Are Royal typewriter ribbons universal?
Not all Royal typewriter ribbons are the same. Royal produced many manual, portable and electric models, so it’s best to select your exact model from the compatibility list above rather than choosing a ribbon based on the brand alone.
