INK RIBBON CARTRIDGE, CARTRIDGE REFILL AND METHOD OF LOADING SAME ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This specification discloses an apparatus and method for transporting, loading, and reusing an inking ribbon in a printing means such as a wire matrix data printer. The invention reduces jamming and binding of the inking ribbon and promotes easy and effective loading, and it thus improves the operation of the overall printing device itself. The disclosure includes a ribbon cartridge which has a narrow and configured outlet opening which provides an exit from a central storage area which ideally allows only a single thickness of ribbon to exit from the cartridge. Thus, ribbon can be loaded into a cartridge as a circular spool, stripped from the spool within the cartridge, removed from the cartridge through the exit and stuffed back into the cartridge to form a rectangular ribbon pack within a generally rectangular storage area within the cartridge. If desired, the rectangular ribbon pack can be removed from one ribbon cartridge and shipped in that form, for loading into a second ribbon cartridge at some other location. -1-
