PLANNING INFORMATION
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES
The IBM 6784 Typewriter is Customer Set-Up.
SUPPLIES
The IBM 6784 Typewriter is supported by the previously announced
IBM EASYSTRIKE (R) Supplies and two new correctable ribbons. The
two new ribbons are replacing the IBM EASYSTRIKE Correctable
Cassette (P/N 1337761) which is being withdrawn from Marketing.
IBM recommends that dealers consider selling their existing
inventory of P/N 1337761 to their previous 6746, 6747, 6780 IBM
Typewriter customers before converting them to the new ribbons.
NEW RIBBON DESCRIPTIONS
o IBM EASYSTRIKE Superior Write Correctable Ribbon Cassette (P/N
1380999)
A high quality correctable film ribbon for executive
correspondence and for bolder, darker print. This ribbon is also
recommended for difficult-to-image papers such as 100% cotton,
textured papers and most labels. The ribbon has a purple leader
and advance wheel and is available in black only. The average
yield is 115,000 characters but the actual yield varies depending
on the pitch of the typestyle in use.
o IBM EASYSTRIKE High Yield Correctable Ribbon Cassette (P/N
1299845)
A long-life correctable film ribbon for clean, general
correspondence and excellent price performance. This ribbon is
the economical alternative to the Superior Write ribbon. The
ribbon has an orange leader and advance wheel and is available in
black only. The average yield is 210,000 characters, but the
actual yield varies depending on the pitch of the typestyle is
use.
RECOMMENDED ORDER QUANTITIES
Both the IBM EASYSTRIKE Superior Write and High Yield Ribbons are
available immediately. Initial orders for these new ribbons
should be limited to the equivalent of one average month's sales
of the previous IBM Easystrike Correctable Ribbon (P/N 1337761).
