Sorry about posting this to the whole net but mail to you bounced.

Unless I'm mistaken the 1027 is their teeny drum printer, which uses
a mechanism resembling the insides of an adding machine.  The drum
is inked with a fabric roller that snaps in and out of the clip it's
mounted on (I haven't got my printer in front of me).  You pull the
roller out, re-ink it with stamp pad ink that you buy at your local
stationery store, and click it back into place.  (My printer has
a different manufacturer's label and a standard interface instead
of Atari's, but I think it is the same mechanism).

Hope this helps.
