Competition / Market:

Ink & Toner Market The ink and toner market consists of high priced 'Original' inks/toners usually supplied by small shops offering poor service (poor stock level - indifferent attitude to length of time to get stock. The alternative is low cost refills which are poor quality. These are refilled in shops but are prone to failure. This is because the Original manufacturers design them to stop refills being effective. Typically by having different ink types for each cartridge or by installing electronic chips that cease functioning. A refiller can't offer individual inks and relies on 'universal' ink that can clog etc. Most businesses will not touch them. The only real alternative is an ISO9001 compatible generic cartridge. The key is the ISO9001 international quality certification...this is what Lasertech products are...all factory remanufactured to the same or higher standard of the Original. Savings but no Compromise on quality Lasertech brand can offer savings of 40% for businesses What about Originals Yes because Lasertech is so be in the UK we benefit from their purchasing poer and thus is reflected in our selling price of originals. Stationery Stationery is also a growing market. Competition is from small expensive shops although there are some internet sellers. The internet sellers suffer from distribution problems and the lack of enabled Credit Cards (most are not enabled in Spain because of fraud and a poor post code system.)
