What do printer manufacturers say about CISS?
Printer producing companies (Epson, Canon, HP, Brother) in many ways try to prevent customers from purchasing and installing CISS. After price decrease for printers almost down to the prime cost (because of acute competition on the market of printing devices) the only way for the printer producers to earn money is to sell ridiculously expensive original consumables. So, if a person buys CISS he saves money on buying a printer and doesn’t overpay to the printer producer as he does not buy original cartridges. Printer producers are trying to hold CISS distribution, but from the legal point of view they can do nothing because a) the customer takes the decision to use and install CISS on his own property (printer, all-in-one, plotter); b) a CISS is not a fake imitation with a logo of a printer producer, but a product of a different trade mark compatible with a certain printer. Thus all the legal matters are settled.
What do printer manufacturers do to prevent selling CISS?
In the struggle against CISS printer producers act in the 2 following ways: from the technological and marketing points of view. In the first case printer producers try to protect themselves by installing chips on cartridges - at first 7-contact ones, then 9-contact ones (you can learn more about the matter during the training). They also introduce protection by lessening the space inside a printer in order to complicate installation of the trail, etc. In terms of marketing they promote propaganda of mythical economy of original cartridges, tell thrilling stories about printers spoilt after installing CISS. However, the increase of CISS sales proves that suppliers of alternative consumables are developing faster.
Can I try to take and sell the goods to see if it works out?
No, you can’t. Cooperation of the company with the representative will be realized upon mutual agreement. As it has been proved before, if a person does not invest his/her own money into growing business, he does not have a stimulation to work hard. If you decided to earn than it will not be a big problem to find 9,999 USD for the first purchase. And if the wish to work and earn is not your priority, than our company should not be on your list.
