Printer ink is one of the most valuable liquid commodities in the world right now. It is so valuable to the profit line that printer manufacturers pay the one big PC shop in the UK to sell its new models, - yes pay, they do not buy stock to make margin on they make a manufacturer pay them money for putting the printer in their shop. Most manufacturers are selling printers at less that cost for your ink business. There are actually very few printer manufacturers in the world right now as most of the stuff comes out of 3 or 4 companies and is made under license.
