T H E S EC O N D M O U S E A LWAYS G E T S T H E C H E E S E The original leaders in the refilling business are most likely failing along with some of the major retailers that sell original equipment manufacturing O.E.M. inkjet and laser toner cartridges. People mostly find this an amazing statement. We don’t want any group to fail within business, but we can learn from their massive mistakes in manufacturing, supply chain distribution, inventory controls and expenses, and most importantly taking advantage of customers and recycling efforts. Original equipment manufacturer, the original manufacturer of a component for a product, product which may be resold by another company. company
Why write it now? We’re expanding our own business from coast to coast and we’re searching for real people that want to own their very own ink and toner business. The Ink and Toner business is not what you think. think In many ways the ink and toner business remains a gigantic cloak‐and‐dagger business because of all the cash money churning around in the market‐place today. As we explain this business we also want you to complete your own research. There remains in this business many people that are not always truthful, sincere or reliable with their opinions, products or profits. I would suggest that the printer ink and toner business is jam‐packed full of activities and actions that might be considered on the shady side. Our attempt will be to show you the way to profits and pride at the same time. The Second Mouse always gets the cheese because the first mouse had a really difficult and awkward moment with the mouse trap.
BILLION DOLLAR INK The Second Mouse always y ggets the cheese because the first mouse had a reallyy difficult and awkward moment with the mouse trap. We don’t have to explain a mouse trap? Private label products or services are typically those manufactured or provided by one company for offer under another company's brand. Private label goods and services are available in a wide range of industries from food to cosmetics to web hosting. hosting These private label products now include ink and toner cartridges. They are often positioned as lower cost alternatives to regional, national or international brands, although recently some private label brands have been positioned as "premium" brands to compete with existing "name" brands
The Second Mouse is a lucky or smart little creature. You and I can never really know because nobody gets to talk to the first mouse.
The Second Mouse also has many problems BUT IT SEEMS THAT THEY DO GET THE PRIZE. Traps are durable and inflexible and tricky to avoid which is why they’re called traps. Y no longer You l need d to buy b the h original i i l reall thing hi Hewlett H l Packard inkjet cartridge from expensive big box retailers to get the original real thing Hewlett Packard inkjet or toner cartridge. g What? The p partyy is more or less over or at least very nearly over for big box retail domination within the ink and toner business. It’s your turn to jump in and make some money. It seems that you just might be the second mouse.
BILLION DOLLAR INK Get on‐line and type in the search words inkjet cartridges. On average you will receive about 9,750,000 responses from Google. How in the world can one little product generate almost ten million responses from any search engine? It’s a very big business. It’s worth tens of BILLIONS of dollars. Its growing larger. It is extremely profitable. You don don’tt need a degree from Harvard. You can quickly earn serious honest income as the second mouse. It seems that everybody that sells ink and toner cartridges charge way too much money? Ink refilling companies are seemingly on every corner and they don’t save the consumers a lot of money?

Inkjet refills have a very large failure rate. Customers are leaving these little refill companies Refills leak and companies. often fail the quality test.
BILLION DOLLAR INK Inkjet j p printer and laser toner cartridges g are needed around the world. You can imagine g that our own country is the leading consumer of this technology. You also have a few hundred players within the market, but 99.% of the business is controlled by only a few major brands, in order, Hewlett Packard, Canon, Epson, Brother, Lexmark, Dell, and lastly Kodak. What you don don’tt read about or hear about are the giant potential failures in the market. The executives who bought Nu‐kote also felt ignored by their corporate parent. After the 1986 merger of the Burroughs and Sperry computer companies that produced Unisys, corporate headquarters decreed in a confidential memo that "ancillary" units would be put on the auction block. Reinhold Tischler, then president of the Nu‐kote Nu kote division, division called his boss and said, "Ancillary division reporting in. We'd like to buy it." On Jan. 16, 1987 ‐‐ Tischler calls it Independence Day ‐‐ he and 20 other managers bought Nu‐kote for $60 million. After theyy eliminated several aging product lines, overall sales grew 17% last year, to $150 million. Nu‐kote's $55.6 million in debt amounts to more than eleven times equity. If sales plummeted or interest rates rose, those debt loads could b become crippling i li burdens. b d Th new The manager‐owners have made a good start at running their companies, but the test will come during the next economic downturn.
Whyy are major j p players y failing? g How can yyou avoid the same mistakes? How can you capture their customers and profits? Major players in the market are subject to immediate failure. It’s time that you jumped in, with your brain engaged. There’s plenty of profits available to smart people that are blessed with common sense. The filings say Nukote owes lender CIT Group about $30 million on a secured financing package. The company owes $2.6 million to its largest unsecured creditor, Grupo American Industries S.A. de C.V., of Chihuahua, Mexico. Other major creditors are located in Canada, Hong Kong, Vietnam and across the U.S. This is Nukote's second trip through the local bankruptcy court. It filed here under Chapter 11 in 1998, when it was a publicly traded company, and emerged in 2000 with private equity firm Richmont Holdings of Dallas as its majority owner. Nukote International manufactures and markets imaging supplies for imaging devices. It offers ink jets, laser, thermal fax supplies, ribbons, toners, and custom coating products. The company is headquartered in Rochester, New York. Nukote International operates as a subsidiary of Nu‐Kote Holding, Inc. On June 3, 3009, Nukote International, Inc., along with its affiliates, filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Tennessee
BILLION DOLLAR INK With the Billions of dollars available in the market‐place p yyou can also imagine g that theyy are criminals, felons, lawbreakers and just plain old robbers within the inkjet and laser toner business. The driving forces of Hewlett Packard , Canon, Epson, Brother, Lexmark, Dell and Kodak are all enjoying a very good reputation and are highly regarded within industry These dependable companies really created the technology and the market‐ industry. market place of printers and cartridges. With that said, we also feel that these same companies have subjugated their customers, demoralized their customers and supply chain partners through very high prices, recycling strategies and schemes to keep you out of the business and continue earning billions. Bankruptcy is a legally declared inability or impairment of Do your sales numbers and actual paid commission just not add up? A class action lawsuit against HP in the San Francisco federal court is currentlyy p pending. g Three former employees p y of HP claim that theyy sold millions of dollars worth of HP equipment and services, but HP failed to pay them commissions for those sales. The former employees also claim that HP failed to give them credit for sales made, which impacted their ability to meet their quotas and earn bonuses. The suit alleges that the total commissions HP owes to current and former employees is over $5.0 $ million. We believe that if these allegations are true, a monetary penalty – over and above the commissions HP owes – may be assessed against HP.

Some of these big companies have big problems. We’ve found a way to stay small, stay out of sight, sell more and more ink products. Every cartridge that you sell will produce a profit.
BILLION DOLLAR INK The stratagem g is simple. p To create a device called the inkjet j or laser toner p printer that uses their patented cartridges that the consumers must purchase over and over again at extremely excessive retail prices. Their plan worked so well that it also fashioned a third party industry. This third party industry reversed engineered their technology and became skilled at the refilling of the original ink or toner cartridges, cartridges thus cutting out the big name brands we mentioned. Most Ink and Toner refilling companies are little companies that fill inkjet cartridges out of a hut somewhere with a sign on the front door. Their quality is mostly poor because this cottage industry has older equipment or very poor equipment, very poor training of personnel, used and worn out cartridge parts, low cost, low quality ink. A confidence trick or confidence game (also known as a bunko, con, This stratagem means that you can mask your real goals, by using the ruse of a fake goal that everyone takes for granted, until the real goal is achieved. hi d Tactically, T ti ll this thi is i known k as an 'open feint'; in front of everyone, you point west, when your goal is actually y in the east.

The h victim i i is i known k as the h mark, k the h trickster i k i called is ll d a confidence fid man, con man, or con artist, and any accomplices are known as shills. Confidence men exploit human characteristics such as greed and dishonesty, and have victimized individuals from all walks of life.
BILLION DOLLAR INK Over the yyears this cottage g refillingg industryy has moved from the little hut business p plan to the main street structures that you see today. Ink refillers moved to main street because printer customers wanted to save lots of money on ink and toner cartridges. Ink refilling companies still had the poor technology, the sloppy work habits, the used or patched up parts very poor output quality but now they have big store front rents, parts, rents major competition across the country, complaining customers about leaky refills, non‐working refills, payroll taxes and the infamous franchise fees they must pay on every gross dollar they generate. The little cottage business grew up to the big time due to the inkjet laser toner customer really wanting a solution. These refillers struggle today and we would suggest that they fail often. Injecting ink: Depending on the type of cartridge being refilled, ink can either be injected through a hole on top of the cartridge, or directly into the ink chambers after the top has been popped off. off The ink can be injected directly from a bottle (with a needle tip on it) or from a needle filled with ink. The ink must be slowly injected into the cartridge so as not to cause damage, or overfilling, or overflow to other‐color ink reservoirs. (For colors, a label on the cartridge might have 3 ordered color color‐dots dots to indicate the corresponding 3 ink colors of the reservoir chambers.
BILLION DOLLAR INK The refillingg trade seemed to have the right g idea and have stolen major j revenue dollars from the big manufacturers. But, something very important has happened in the last few years and consumers don’t know it and the refilling industry doesn’t talk about it and the big brands, Hewlett Packard, Canon, Epson, Brother, Lexmark and Kodak would just as soon us not write about it. it The cottage refill industry that moved to downtown and malls and now have their own store fronts still produce low quality, leaking cartridges, high priced alternatives , very poor actual guarantees other than their brochures. The refilling industry has one advantage and its gone away in the last couple of years. They can charge less. That’s it and its not enough. People want to save money but they don’t want to purchase useless items. Installing/running: Once the cartridge is filled, the top is placed back on (if necessary) and the cartridge can be reinstalled in the printer. printer Extra ink flowing from the cartridge print‐head can be wiped/blotted (for a few minutes). On some cartridges the ink has a problem getting to the bottom of the cartridge (especially the colored cartridges), it must be forced to the bottom either by suction through the jet plate or by putting pressure from the top with a syringe to purge the ink through the jet plate very gently. It might be necessary to run the printer cleaning utilities on the refilled cartridge, in case any excess ink is leftover from the refilling process.
BILLION DOLLAR INK The refillingg trade started somethingg that theyy cannot finish. You can easilyy start yyour very own inkjet refilling business, in a couple of weeks. Go buy a $50,000 to $200,000 inkjet cartridge refilling machine. Put it in your own building, hang up your sign, get the power turned on and plug the machine in and get going. But, not so fast. Which machine do you buy? How much should you pay? Who really knows if the machine works? What do you do about machine repairs? Do you buy a machine made in China? Buy one from an American factory? Should you use vacuum technology? What’s wrong with refilling kits? Can you get cartridge parts? How much is good ink? How many different types of ink? SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR REPAIRS
Ink ‐‐ O Ink O –– Matic It’s difficult for me to place my future financial and business success on a machine called the Ink – O – Matic, maybe its just me? It might be the best machine in the world or made d in i some guys garage? When it breaks down do you go on vacation for a month?
BILLION DOLLAR INK Well that sounds risky. y Maybe y yyou should buyy a franchise, makes everything y g easy. y Maybe y for the same $200,000 you can have your own inkjet refill franchise? You have to do everything their way. You have to pay gross sales fees forever. You must rent prime retail space, certain square footage, use their signs, their boxes, their branding or image maker brochures buy their ink, brochures, ink buy their cartridge parts and they always remain your little helpers. You will spend about $250,000 to open up a first class refilling operation. The money spent doesn’t make you qualified to operate your business, refill inkjet cartridges, satisfy customers, compete on a national scale, out sell junk cartridge dealers, out run the counterfeit group selling cartridges and pay the rent, your employees, pay insurance, power bills and advertise at the same time. What’s PREBATE Ink? It is sometimes overlooked that this ruling only applies to Lexmark's "Prebate" ink cartridges, where the contract states that in

What we’re seeing now is that the original equipment makers, as Lexmark for an example, has cornered d the h inkjet i kj cartridge id buyer b into a binding contract.

About the Lexmark Return Program Lexmark is pleased to offer our printer customers the choice of using Lexmark Return Program Cartridges for many Lexmark printer families. Lexmark Return Program Cartridges are sold at a discount versus the prices of regular cartridges in exchange for the customer's agreement to use the cartridge only once and return it only to Lexmark for remanufacturing or recycling

No. CV‐01‐04626SBA/JL OPINION (9th Cir. 2005) was a decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit which ruled that an End User License Agreement on a physical box can be binding on consumers who signal their acceptance of the license agreement by opening the box.

The big ink brands that you know, Hewlett Packard, Canon, Lexmark, Dell, Brother, Epson p etc do not make their cartridges g in the United States.

Big Retail Chains, supply chain partners that sell ink and toner. They’re retailers but they have lots of pull with big ink. They buy millions of dollars worth of ink. They will support anything that will protect their profits. Interesting to note that Big Retail is also now selling quality remanufactured ink and toner cartridges. They see the future. The End User Customer. The Human being that buys ink and toner. The consumer pays for everything. Consumers pay for the ink, factory, advertising, lawyers, salaries and everything else. The end consumer is also the last person on earth to know and understand the truth.
The graph on the right shows us something. You know about it but you never think about it. it You can make anything cheaper overseas. The example would be that you can make something within the Asian area of the world for about 34 cents on the dollar. In other words Big Ink can manufacturer a ink or toner cartridge for pennies by using overseas workers and not Americans. The Big Ink companies import their own goods back to the United States and d earn billions billi off dollars. d ll Th They continue to diminish and weaken foreign workers and at the same time deplete p and drain American Consumers by making gigantic profits on every cartridge. The New Deal Ink and Toner Company allows regular people people just like you, people, you to understand and profit within this billion dollar ink business.
