Typewriter paper & ink basics

[Alan]

I once typed a whole page only to realize my margins were set so narrow it looked like a ransom note. Lesson learned!

Quick tips for everyone:

• Paper weight: Use heavier stock to avoid bleed‑through.
• Ink: Fresh ribbon saves you from ghost letters.
• Formatting: Align margins before you get carried away.

What’s your go‑to combo for clean results?

Thanks for this. My go‑to combo is 20–24 lb paper, a fresh ribbon, and a quick alignment tap to make sure the left margin isn’t plotting against me.
