Sorry about posting this to the whole net but mail to you bounced. Unless I'm mistaken the 1027 is their teeny drum printer, which uses a mechanism resembling the insides of an adding machine. The drum is inked with a fabric roller that snaps in and out of the clip it's mounted on (I haven't got my printer in front of me). You pull the roller out, re-ink it with stamp pad ink that you buy at your local stationery store, and click it back into place. (My printer has a different manufacturer's label and a standard interface instead of Atari's, but I think it is the same mechanism). Hope this helps. paul rubin
