I believe the MPS-1200 ribbons (sold as Citizen 120D) were not on clearance, and were regular price of $8.54.

Matthew,Did you happen to notice which MPS printer ribbons they had? Might they have been 1200's or some of the 801 or 803 types?thanks James On 30/05/2012 10:46 PM, Matthew Lange wrote:Hi all,I'm going to assume most of the folks here on the list are in Canada; that said, Staples Canada (in-store only, NOT online) has reduced *some* of their printer cartridges to clear, as I'd imagine they will be available online only. I'm just letting you know in case you need to stock up cartridges for your printer for a rainy day, or if you were planning on buying one sooner or later. I'd suggest making a stop at your local Staples store and get a price check on your favourite cartridge.My observations: ----------------------Commodore 4022, 8022, CBMPET, VIC-4512, etc (Labelled as Epson MX70/MX80)SKU# 678735 / Porelon# 16607 Currently $2.97/ea Star Micronics NX2400 ribbons SKU# 657008 / Porelon# 11984 Currently $1.97/eaKeep in mind that prices may fluctuate (for better or worse) without notice. A couple of local stores I looked at didn't have price tags posted reflecting the price change.Unfortunately, the wide ribbons for MPS printers aren't on clearance, and are still full-price ($8.54). There are a number of other ribbons on clearance as well, but none that I needed.** Remember, this is in-store only, not online or by phone.** Legalese: This is not a guarantee or promise of a certain price (or stock level) for any products, just a casual observation after browsing stores in my area. I am not employed by Staples, and I do not hold myself out as anything but a customer of their store. Use this information at your own risk.Happy hunting! --Matt
