GREAT NEWS FOR MIMAKI USERS !
We are pleased to announce the launch of our own ColorSolve Classic inks for Mimaki solvent printers. These are a compatible alternative to Mimaki solvent inks, formulated and manufactured exclusively and sold through Applied Graphics Ltd, giving consistent colours and performance without the need to re-calibrate your printer. Priced at £59.95 per 440ml cartridge (£54.95 if paying by credit card) they offer significant long term cost savings over the OEM Mimaki inks (list price £89.95) without compromising on quality of output, machine reliability or performance.

We hope you will agree this is the right decision to have taken, especially when so many businesses are struggling in the current economic climate. At the end of the day, we all need to reduce our costs - and if you don't your competitors will !

...AND WHAT DO OUR CUSTOMERS THINK ?
Here are some of your comments ... at least, the ones we can print ! 

"I'm very pleased you've choosen to do this, I can finally use third party inks without voiding our maintenance agreement."

"Your email rang all the right bells with me ... we need to find ways to reduce our costs."

"I've been very well aware of the cheaper prices for genuine mimaki parts/ink in europe/usa, and heard all the storys how any mimaki parts/inks still needs to be sourced though [the UK distributor] to be classed as genuine in the uk ... I fully support your decision and wish you all the best."

"Have asked our Production manager to buy yours next time we need some."

"This sounds good! We are under increasing pressure to cut the cost of our JV3 output, so this is good news."

"I demand to know who your European suppliers are !"

"It refreshing to hear of from a supplier willing to cut off the overpriced flow of parts & ink ... indeed it has long been a bugbear with us."

" Whilst I am excited about this (honest!) ... I believe its getting close to the time when the JV3 needs servicing and I wasn't sure what the score was after getting what can only be described as a snotty letter from Hybrid making some bold statements about you not being official any more. Can you guys clarify ? I don't see any reason to jump ship as long as we are covered! " [Don't worry, we've got you covered !]

Please keep your comments flowing !
