I had a color ribbon for the Citizen GSX-130. Color was ok but not real
sharp. Expensive ribbon so I only used it when needed. Ok for the kids 4th
grade geography report or cartoons. Had five colors, as I recall, on the
ribbon, one of which was black, then did shades by mixing dots from these
colors on the ribbon. I still have the ribbon in a plastic case in a box
since I was so stingy about using it. Just history from an old...well,
whatever.
