Free printer and cartridge database launched
jan 2006
James Sodor, Executive in
charge of Information Services for http://www.whatcartridge.com said at the
launch, “These days there are so many new equipment releases from the
imaging industry heavyweights that it is hard to keep up with supplies
information. Also, manufacturers are dropping consumable support for
legacy products so it is important to know other brands of consumables
which may be suitable for older machines. We cut through the confusion
and let both consumers and industry professionals research
compatibility quickly and easily. All information on the site is
totally free to view with no restrictions.”.
The site has a database of over 10,000 printers, copiers, all-in-ones
and faxes categorized by brand and type, as well as over 11,000
different types of consumables suitable for those machines. Built in to
the site is advanced search technology to find equipment quickly and
easily. The supply listings are extensive – listing the type of supply,
colours available, manufacturers and the expected yield. Every
consumable has a full list of equipment which it is suitable for. There
is also an article section full of relevant articles which is updated
regularly.
Henk Siegersma, a http://www.whatcartridge.com Site Assistant present at the
launch said, “Some of these printers and supplies go back 20 years,
however every week we are adding new printers and supplies from all
manufacturers including HP, Epson, Canon and Lexmark as well as less
mainstream manufacturers such as Olivetti and Printronix. It is our job
to be the most up to date source for supplies information so that we
become the first stop for home, corporate and imaging industry
professionals when they are researching printer consumables”.
