No ink roller.. so I tried this Blick with carbon paper… I believe I can get some good results with practice. Once I get use to the keyboard and typing blind.

Challenging!
They make ink rollers for printing calculators which can be installed on Blicks if you want to give it a try.
I have a Blickenderfer, and I just put a drop of stamp pad ink on the roller when I want to use it. But I agree with Richard that a calculator ink roller would probably work. You might have to make it narrower, but a razor blade should do that nicely.
Another thought: I bought a ream of “self-copying” paper years ago. It works like NCR paper, but does not require a matching top sheet. It responds to pressure on the surface. I used it to make copies of my bank deposit slips, so I would have the detail. The last time I checked it is rather expensive, I think over $30 a ream. If you want, I will send you several sheets. Small mom and pop cafes would use them for menus before copy machines became readily available.
Wait, I think they used sheets that had a blue background covereed with white wax. Where the image was, the wax would disappear and leave a blue image.
The self copying paper mentioned above can get quite “dirty” when sent through the mail, from pressure from the mail processing equipment.

Phil & Richard:
Phil I believe I have some of the paper you mentioned in a box in a closet in a room someplace that I can look for. Thank you.
I will look into the roller from a calculator. I appreciate the information very much.
