Greg:
I can't recommend that as the vendor will not recommend that. Maybe your tip can be used as a MacGyver survival technique in a desperate situation.

> The ink remains, the ink carrier dries up. Squirt a little WD-40 on the ribbon and it will be as good as new. Use WD-40 on well used ribbons as well with the same result.
> The WD-40 is almost the same as the original ink carrier.
