ignorance question on stencils and typewriters

[BonhamBlades]

I am extremely ignorant about typewriters and equally so on stencils for electro chem etching. My question is when typing on the stencil do you need the ink ribbon or is it just the striking of the keys that leaves an imprint for the label? Also does it matter what kind of typewriter like the electrical or manual? Thanks in advance for your help...

No, manual or electric will work and no ribbon is best. Frank

 

[Calvin Robinson]

Franks right,take the ribbon out.
