Inkjet Ink Price Increase coming Feb 2009!

"SAVE Before February 1st Price Increases!!

Dear Valued Customer,

Citing recent changes in the global economy our major manufacturers have all announced price increases on select items, effective February 1st.  To this end, we have provided lists of those affected parts on our website so that you may take advantage of pre-increase savings.

We thank you for your continued business,

ATLEX.COM

EPSON PRICE INCREASE BETWEEN 3%-10%
HP INK & TONER INCREASE BETWEEN 5%-9%
CANON INK & MEDIA INCREASE 5%  "

We recently received the above email regarding supplier price increases of some of the major manufactures of inkjet ink. This seems to be coming directly from the manufacture, so its most likely going to be passed on to all consumers by all of the distributors & suppliers. I was glad to hear not all of my inks are going up in price. This is also good to know if you are working on budgeting and planning for the year.

Changes coming in February '09:

Epson Ink 
Increasing between 3%-10% (MSRP price)

HP Ink
Increasing between 5%-9%

Canon Ink
Increasing around 5%

Atlex offered a nice list of whats going up in price at their website --  http://www.atlex.com/febpriceinc/febpriceinc.html
