UPDATE:  I have worked with the factory and we have reached an agreement.  I've paid them and they are preparing to manufacture some new ImageWriter color ribbons.  These are probably going to be the first ImageWriter ribbons manufactured in a decade.  

When they get through customs and such and I verify that they are quality I will post a "For Sale" thread on the Trading Post.  Right now, based on the cost per unit + taxes/duties and such that I estimate a price of $7.25 + shipping per ribbon cartridge.

If all goes well the IW II shall print in color once again!
