We're Nathan and
Max and boy do we love printing!
What we don't love is how much it costs. And that's why we started a talk show, "Ink Is It". It's a place to talk about our love of printing and share clever ways to get the most out of your printing dime. Hip-hip-hip-hooray! |

Ink Is It's Nathan Bannigann at your service. I'm not gonna lie, gang -- I had a bit of a rough one yesterday. It started off as any old Tuesday, but came to a screeching halt when a truck flew into my lane from out of nowhere and I slammed on the brakes. Luckily, I didn't hit the truck, but I did hit the car in between the truck and my car. Don't worry, folks, Nathan Bannigann's okay, but unfortunately I can't say the same for my car or the spine of the other driver. Needless to say, I don't have the funds to be printing for quite some time. Normally, when I can't afford to print I whine and complain and et cetera, but not this time. This time I decided I was gonna do something about it: I was gonna finally figure out why ink cartridges cost so much, then I was gonna whine and complain. I knew that if I was gonna get to the bottom of this, then it was time to do some hard-nosed research like I used to do in my college days. And who could possibly be more up to the task than our unpaid intern, Shelly? Why, our other unpaid intern, Dan, of course. After a few tedious hours of research, I finally tracked down Dan's home number, gave him a call and left a message. A few minutes later he returned my call with some jaw-dropping information, which can best be summed up with the following sentence: Dan no longer works for us. So, I gave Shelly a call and put her to work. You're not gonna believe what Shelly dug up: Did you know that inside every ink cartridge there's a computer chip that tells the printer when the ink cartridge is running low on ink?!? I didn't immediately understand the significance of this until Shelly explained to me that it's possible to put that technology inside the printer. That way you only pay for it once instead of every time you buy an ink cartridge. No wonder ink cartridges cost an arm and a leg's worth of money.
You'll be happy to hear that I immediately put Shelly on the payroll. Unfortunately, I was forced to take Shelly off the payroll when our producer, Erin, informed me that a pay increase for Shelly meant a pay cut for me. Lucky for me, it's the thought that counts. Way to go Shelly, Nathan Labels: expensive, ink cartridge trouble, nathan posted @ 3/07/2007 10:29:00 AM 1 comments |
