Incartek - If it's to do with Printers, then Incartek can help create Opportunities.
What is Incartek?
Ink Cartridge Technologies Ltd is a consultancy specialising in the applications and the market for digital printing.
If you are an end-user you will be interested in the OPUS range of papers, albums and software. You will also be interested in our cost of printing model.
If you are in the industry - you probably already know - or at least know of me.
If your issues are:
-- Needing to evaluate the options that you face at the moment in the light of changing market situations -- Needing additional capital or other finance
Photo CompositionIf you pay attention to some simple rules of photographic composition, rather than simply "pointing ..... -- Needing help with sourcing from China. -- Feeling the need of a mentor -- Needing someone with many years' experience to bounce ideas on. -- Understanding the cost of printing issues ----- then have a word with Daniel Roberts at Incartek.
Home digital photography, instant printing, signage and the internet have been key drivers in this business - and will continue to be for the next few years.
Key trends are: -- Lower cost inkjet cartridges and media -- Movement from OEM to compatible brands -- Rationalisation in global manufacturing and distribution -- Inkjet cartridges become 'just another product' in electronic office supplies. -- Management of empties becomes a global industry -- Reduction in SKU's carried (will obsolete printers)
-- Elimination of tiers of distribution -- Pressure on smaller manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and e-tailers
Rationalisation will polarise the industry into: -- Large scale manufacturers and distributors -- Local or niche operations (the emergence of the franchised refill shops may be an evidence of this).
There will be a symbiotic relationship between the OEM and the aftermarket - but the OEM's will take action to constrain it where appropriate using whatever tools are available.
It is in the light of these trends that incartek guides OEM and aftermarket manufacturers and distributors, and provides expert opinion as appropriate.
