Andrew, would you check your Gmail spam folder? (I’ve checked my own.) I sent you a message two days ago, but have received no reply, which seems unlikely.
Sometimes, if the spools aren’t turning easily, there’s a bit too much tension on the ribbon and the tops of letters will get cut off, especially capitals. So you might see if something needs cleaning down there.
