Free printer and cartridge database launched

January 22, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
James Sodor, Executive in charge of Information Services for 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 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".
