TH-INK-ING ABOUT COLOR

Despite online purchasing's growth in many segments, the numbers show package printers are still fairly hesitant about this buying method. In last year's poll, only 34 percent of responding printers said they were "very/somewhat likely" to venture onto the Internet for their ink supplies. This year, 49 percent say they would consider purchasing inks online in the future—though none have done so yet. While the numbers are slowly shifting, 51 percent still say they do not intend to place ink orders on the Web.
