    Printer.com Analyzes Total Cost of Ownership for Printers and Cartridges
    New Web site to help consumers save money and reduce environmental waste
    SAN
    JOSE, Calif., Dec  2008 — Printer.com is combining its vast knowledge
    of printers, cartridges, search engines and e-commerce to introduce the
    premier printer cost comparison Web site. Launched today, the
    independent shopping resource features its own database of more than
    4,400 printers and 1,600 cartridges. Connecting to more than a dozen
    leading online retailers, Printer.com aims to provide consumers and
    businesses with a simple interface to accurately find and compare the
    total costs associated with owning and operating competing printers.

    Printer.com
    provides fast and easy cost comparisons not only for printers, but also
    the cartridges that accompany them. This is particularly compelling
    because it’s often easy to neglect the cost of ink cartridges when
    evaluating different printer options. Utilizing factors such as average
    pages printed per week, color and size, Printer.com provides different
    printer options, estimated costs of printer cartridges and links to
    authorized online merchants. Retailers then compete on price and
    service to provide consumers with the best deal for the user’s
    needs.”When shopping for printers, consumers tend to look at the price
    tag in front of them without accounting for other variables that
    accumulate during a printer’s life, such as cartridges,” said Bob Crum,
    director of U.S. Operations for Printer.com. “Today’s printers are now
    averaging five year lifecycles, which could mean people may ultimately
    be wasting money and not even know it because they haven’t factored in
    the lifetime costs of running a printer.”
    Printer.com will also help
    reduce environmental waste and the adverse affects caused by the excess
    disposal of used printers and cartridges. On average, one printer
    cartridge takes more than 400 years to decompose and with hundreds of
    millions of them being disposed of each year, the toll on the
    environment is extensive.”By helping people make educated decisions, we
    believe Printer.com will aid in reducing e-waste caused by people
    choosing a printer not properly suited for their operations,” Crum
    said. “When people make informed choices based on their daily printing
    needs, they will cut down on the number of cartridges used in the long
    run.”In addition to providing cost comparisons for new printers and
    cartridges, Printer.com services will help consumers and businesses to
    evaluate options for purchasing replacement cartridges, as well as
    product lifecycle recommendations to determine if it’s time to replace
    an old printer.
