Ink4mail.com would like to introduce you to our new Ink Selector at ink4mail.com/faq/ink_selector.

You can select and sort ink cartridges based on the material type you are printing on, and analyze reviews from the manufacturers, and from other users.

We hope this will become a valuable resource to help you in your ink selection.

Any cartridge reviews received by end of day on Friday, June 15th will be entered into a drawing for a $25 iTunes gift card.

Ink4mail is now stocking Collins Endurance ink. With good results on standard copy paper, matte coated stock, corrugated and gloss coated stock, Endurance ink can be used on a variety of print jobs.

Pricing for Collins Endurance can be found here.

Congratulations to Gary R. for winning a $25 iTunes gift card in our recent Ink Contest. Gary’s name was chosen at random by those who correctly guessed that the Collins Max 3 was our second best seller behind the HP Versatile C8842A.

Thank you to all who participated in the contest. Check back soon for more useful information, product news and occasional contests.

We are expanding our support of Collins inks, as we will soon be carrying the Endurance (TWK-2010H). Please keep an eye out for it, and if there are other inks that you would like us to look into carrying, please feel free to send us a request.

Under the category of a clever idea, Collins ink has pens available for several of their ink formulations. This is an inexpensive way to test an ink on an unfamiliar stock. We are selling these pens for $5 each plus shipping, or $20 for a set of 5 pens. If you would rather send us a sample of your stock, we would be happy to perform a smudge test for you.

Pens are available for Collins Max 3 (TWK-1396) for Aqueous coated stocks, Collins Complete H (TWK-1818), Collins Complete, Reliable H (TWK-2080H) and Collins Shark (TSK-1948).

Please call us or email us if you are interested.

Had an international first for ink4mail this week. We received a contact from a company in Japan, requesting pricing and shipping on a small number of cartridges. As you might suspect, the shipping and handling charges made the purchase cost prohibitive. But, we were able to contact another customer of ours in Japan, and make an electronic introduction. It is amazing how small the internet can make this world feel.

Sometimes you get “in a pinch”, where you need your ink delivered a little faster than you had expected, which can cause shipping charges to increase. We’re here to help. We’ll split your shipment, based on your needs, so you only ship 12 overnight to meet your immediate needs, with the remainder shipping via UPS ground, saving you money, but still meeting your production needs.

Just give us a call the next time you get in a pinch, and we’ll help you figure out the best solution.

We would like to announce the start of our Ink4mail.com customer poll.  We will periodically create a question to get your feedback on, and will give a $25 iTunes gift card to the winner.  Sometimes it may be a “best answer”, or like this poll, a random winner from the group of correct answers.

Click on the “About the Ink4Mail Blog” menu item above, to be taken to the poll question.

Please take your chance at winning a $25 gift card, courtesy of ink4mail.com.

Thank you for your continued loyalty.

We’ve developed, through our sister site mediaconstructionkit.com, the ability to create press-ready pdf’s with variable data from features and functions in Photoshop.  MediaConstructionKit can accept your CASS certified files, and merge variable data to both sides of the card, and produce pdf’s for your printer, or we can print them for you.  Please call us for more information.
