Hot ink website launched

newsXpress has launched www.hotink.com.au to support the range of Epson, HP, Canon, Lexmark, and Brother ink and toner promoted through its retail network. The Hot Ink website will evolve into an important part of the newsXpress marketing strategy – enabling consumers interested in ink and toner to make contact with local newsXpress locations.

Not all newsagencies are the same. newsXpress newsagencies offer high quality branded product at very competitive prices.

The right ink for your printer

Companies like HP, Epson, Canon, Lexmark and Brother spend many millions on research and development for each new printer and the ink and toner used in each printer. They are like car manufacturers – they fine tune their hardware to the fuel (ink) to be used. This is why it can be dangerous to use recharged product. It is also why newsXpress is committed to the highest quality branded ink and toner for printers. We offer these products at the bst possible prices – setting benchmarks compared to Officeworks, Big W, Dick Smith and JB HiFi.

Save the planet – recycle

newsXpress is proud to support the Cartridge Rescue mission to refill used cartridges rather than crush them for landfill and other unfriendly uses.

Reusing cartridges is considered better for the environment that other approaches. newsXpress, as part of its commitment to to environment is looking for other ways to help its members reduce their environmental footprint.

return your used cartridges to newsXpress stores and do your bit for the planet.
