Company Kicks Off Marketing Campaign in Los Angeles Today With

Legendary Disc Jockey Rick Dees Voicing Radio Spots

1800Inkjets takes to the airwaves in Los Angeles today to launch its new web-based solution for delivering quality inkjet and laser toner cartridges at low prices. Developed to address the specific purchasing needs of consumers and small businesses, 1800Inkjets.com will proclaim its dedication to meeting the printing demands of time-starved, cost-conscious consumers in a series of radio spots voiced by legendary disc jockey Rick Dees, breaking today on 102.7 KIIS FM and running through November. Providing a savings of up to 80 percent on manufacturer quality products, the company promises to take the aggravation out of buying ink by providing timely, efficient and personalized service.

According to Lyra Research, Inc., a premier source for imaging industry advice and insight, the inkjet printer industry is booming, with over 60 million inkjet printers sold worldwide each year. Last year, this translated into global inkjet printer sales of over $11 billion and ink cartridges and refill kits earned more than $17 billion in global sales. By 2004, sales of ink cartridges and refill kits are expected to reach an astounding $22 billion. While the industry continues to grow, it is the consumer who is footing the bill.

"Although the prices of new inkjet printers are at an all time low, ink cartridges are still extremely expensive," said Sacha Ouvaroff, Vice President of Marketing for 1800Inkjets. "The consumer shoulders the burden of continual replacement of ink cartridges. A so-called 'low-cost' $49 printer can average over $600 in ink cartridge costs after a few years."

1800Inkjets harnesses the power of the Internet as a vehicle to deliver high quality ink cartridges, toner and printing supplies at low prices, meeting the demands of a variety of consumers, from small business owners to entrepreneurs and the at-home workforce. 1800Inkjets.com is a user-friendly site that caters directly to customers' computing needs, including customized auto-ship plans that remind consumers to re-order ink and a 24-hour toll-free customer service line. The company is further enticing consumers with an exclusive offer that guarantees free FedEx overnight shipping on minimum orders of $54.95.

"Keeping costs down in a tough economic environment is essential for consumers, who often find themselves wasting time and money hunting around office supply stores or placing orders from websites that dispense expensive, poor quality products," Ouvaroff added.

In addition to pledging the highest standards of customer service, 1800Inkjets only supplies Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) name brand and the highest quality re-manufactured and compatible inkjet and toner cartridges available. The company effectively removes 50 to 80 percent of the cost to the consumer by using recycled inkjet cartridges with new ink. Furthermore, 1800Inkjets sells compatible inkjet cartridges that are designed to work as well as the original for a fraction of the price. All products are meticulously screened and tested for quality control and are backed by a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee.

1800Inkjets is dedicated to providing the highest quality ink jet cartridges, laser toner and printing supplies, providing customers with a wide variety of options including: OEM products, professionally remanufactured products and compatibles. Quality customer service is available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Ordering from 1800Inkjets.com ensures an easy, reliable, and secure online ordering experience.
