Japan Quake has Consequences on Printer Ink

It seems the consequences of the Japan quake can hit the printer ink manufacturing industry. Read on for further discussion on the topic. InkjetSuperstore wants to make certain you get the best prices on all ink and toner cartridges this week with a 7% discount on all printer brands.

 



The Japan quake has unfortunately hit the printer ink manufacturing industry. Canon has reported damage on some of its plants with significant damage in one. Another printer manufacturer that has closed doors on some of its plants is Kyocera Mita both based in Japan. The previously mentioned are only two of many other printer ink manufacturers that get specific parts for their cartridges from Japanese manufacturing plants. Such is the case of HP that gets some of its cartridge components from there as well.

You can only expect that due to the circumstances it would be difficult not only to produce the parts but to distribute them and that anticipated production schedules are not going to be met. How does the current status affect our everyday printing and future product availability? The aim of the article is not to alarm anyone just to warn and bring up the subject to the table to be taken into consideration. Obviously like in any disaster the consequences will be felt for quite some times but we are sure the major printer manufacturers such as Canon, Kyocera Mita and HP have plenty of stock and contingency plans for possible problems. Japan is not the only source of cartridge components and we are sure the previously mentioned companies will also support and make all the efforts so things will get back to normal as soon as possible.

What can you do to help in the matter? Well we are always insisting on ink saving strategies and the use of alternative printer ink. Yes if you take a few steps to make the most of your Canon ink cartridges, Kyocera Mita toners and HP ink you’ll be helping hands on believe it or not.

Using remanufactured and compatible cartridges is also a good solution to the issue. Recycle your old cartridges but when using alternative printer ink make sure you get professionally remanufactured cartridges with ISO-9001 certifications so you can maintain your printer in tip top shape.
