Press Release Summary: The average business in the UK could be spending too much on
office consumables, according to a study initiated by Eezytrade into the current
makeup of the consumables market and the way in which office consumables are
purchased.

Press Release Body: Edinburgh, UK, 8 February 2008 ( Express-press-release ) - - The
average business in the UK could be spending too much on office consumables like
printer paper, ink cartridges and toner, as
a result of outdated purchasing methods and lax staff control measures, according to
a study from online retailer Eezytrade.

Eezytrade, who themselves retail branded ink
cartridges and toner amongst other office consumables, suggest that many offices and
home print users have yet to realise the cost savings that can be achieved through
buying online and buying in bulk, which could end up saving hundreds of pounds a
year for small businesses, and far more depending on the scale of the individual
printing operation.

According to the study, most businesses continue to negotiate their printer supplies
through offline suppliers in line with established procurement policies. However,
by switching to online providers businesses could benefit from lower retail prices
and delivery costs without sacrificing quality or reliability when it\'s time to
reorder.

The study also found that as a rule smaller offices tended to be more efficient with
their use of printer related consumables whilst larger organisations with more
significant printer networks actually reported a decline in efficiency, thought to
be as a result of lax print management policies and print control techniques in more
substantially staffed businesses.

\"By adopting simple changes to the way in which businesses buy and use their
consumables, there really is the potential to save hundreds if not thousands of
pounds on a yearly basis,\" said John Pickering of Eezytrade.

\"By introducing more rigorous printer management protocols and simply buying from an
online supplier, businesses could cut out the expenses associated with wastage and
buying from traditional operators and receive the same high quality produce for much
less than they are paying at present.\"
