<p>A ribbon re-inking device includes a reservoir (12) for containing ink. The reservoir (12) has at least one outlet (14) for dispensing ink therefrom. The device has drive means (16) operable to displace a ribbon (18) past the outlet (14) of the reservoir (12) thereby to permit the ink to be dispensed from the reservoir (12) and applied to the ribbon (18). The reservoir (12) is displaceable between an inoperative position wherein release of ink via the reservoir outlet (14) is prevented, and at least one static operative dispensing position. The drive means (16) is controllably energizable to cause displacement of the ribbon (18) past the reservoir outlet (14) upon displacement of the reservoir (12) to its operative dispensing position.</p>
