The Day The Printer Died!

The Day The Printer Died!
2

• Can you imagine a day when we no longer have to
  cut down millions of trees a year so we can
  produce paper for printing? In my humble opinion
  that day will come. Back in the late 80s and
  early 90s there was a lot of talk about the
  paperless office.

3

• The personnel computer was here and we were then
  introduced to the ink jet and laser printer which
  could be connected to the computer. What a
  marvelous invention, gone were the days of the
  electric type writer and all of the manual
  corrections that went with that form of printing.

4

• Now we could create documents that were easy to
  correct save to a computer. But wait, now we
  could also print just about anything we found on
  that new platform, the internet. So instead of
  ushering in the paperless office we created
  offices that were producing much more printed
  pages than before.

• So what happened was simple, when you make
  something really really easy to use people, will
  use it more and more. I have no scientific proof
  for this but I know it to be true. Think about
  it, before ink jet printers we had the electric
  typewriter and of course we made mistakes.
  Mistakes back then were corrected with a thing
  called whiteout ink or tape.

7

• For those of you too young to remember the
  whiteout ink was in a small bottle with a tiny
  brush. When you made a mistake you would have to
  stop, back the paper up in the printer, dab some
  whiteout on your mistake, blow on it to make sure
  it was dry, manually turn the paper back to the
  position of the mistake and start typing again.

8

• And then came the next great invention, whiteout
  on a roll, roll your mistakes away. Even with the
  fastest typeset this was still slow going. The
  end result, you only printed what you had to.

9

• With the modern ink jet or laser printer we
  connect it to a computer that has a program
  installed that lets us type using our computer
  keyboard. Making a mistake now means you simply
  go to the mistake, hit the delete button and
  retype.

10

• Spelling error, no problem, run your spell
  checker. Want to know how many words in that
  document, easy, run your program that checks the
  word count. The boss wants multiply copies, no
  need for carbon paper anymore, just enter the
  number of copies you want and presto, out they
  come on the printer.

11

• So what do you think happened to the paperless
  office? It went right down the tubes. People
  actually printed more, lots more, like crazy
  more.

12

• This was not only limited to the office, when I
  got into this business in 2004 producing home
  photos was the rage. Kids would also print
  everything they seen when on line, I actually had
  mothers tell me their kids were using up all the
  ink they were buying on this.

13

• Not to mention the mothers were printing every
  recipe they seen and who knows what the fathers
  were printing, fishing tips maybe. A printing
  craze ensued.

14

• Thats then and now is now. Heres my point, even
  though my business Ink Toner Solutions is in
  the business of selling ink and toner cartridges
  for these printers, what I would like to propose
  is kill your printer. I know youre sitting there
  thinking this guy must be crazy, hes advocating
  something that would potentially kill his
  business.

15

• That may be but whats the right thing to do?
   CVS did the right thing when they stopped
  selling cigarettes. They lost millions in
  revenue, this was one of their biggest profit
  centers but they made a hard decision and did the
  right thing. Selling a product that is killing
  people went completely against what CVS was all
  about.

16

• When I started Ink Toner Solutions my reason
  was to sell high quality Eco-friendly ink and
  toner cartridges that helps to keep them from
  ending up in the landfills. We do this by reusing
  the spent printer cartridges and remanufacture
  them to original specifications.

17

• It was my way of contributing to saving our
  resources and reusing and recycling a product.
  Well times have changes and there are better ways
  to save our documents than printing them and
  saving a hard copy.

18

• There are excellent products available to
  everyone from the individual home owner to a
  large corporation that will save and store any
  and all information you can think of.
