Good morning  
Hope you prefer this revamp of the newsletter layout. We feel the coloured background makes the content stand out more.
We will continue to work with the layout in order to improve all facets of the newsletters.
We understand that different browsers may present the newsletter slightly differently.
Thanks, Brian Stickland
If you feel that these newsletters would be of value to a colleague or associate, just click here and we will add them to our mailing database to try out. Or perhaps you would like to redirect your own future newsletters to your home address.

In the last week's survey we asked  - Have you ever bought consumables online? If so, would you say it was a good way to buy? 
 
Yes     100% 
 
This question should have been phrased differently. The intention was to survey those opinions from people that have purchased consumables online for their wide format printers - not for the office.  Not sure if this was one of the reasons for the disappointing response. Many people will only return to work today.
 
  • If you have established an ink/paper stock already, ordering/buying online is great. However if you are exploring new media, nothing can replace the feel and the physical appearance when making a choice.
    Glowing descriptions and detailed specs are just so many words, and can also lead to purchasing a mean little paper that you can see thru.
  • I have but not for our large digital printers, we are looking at purchasing over the net for parts as long as they are the official product and not a cheap Chinese knockoff. There are large savings to be had but you need to know the company your buying from before doing business.
  • We have often bought consumables online but only for use in office operations - invoice printing etc - never for production as I prefer to go with a trusted supplier of vinyls & ink.
  • Yes of course, frequently but not for our wide format printers. Buying online has worked well for us but people should be careful to only buy from trusted sources. In addition if giving credit card details online, make sure the web site has the secure sign at the bottom. If not your cc details could end up in the wrong hands.
