Ink And Toner Cartridges Still Relevant To The Office

Good news for businesses and individuals looking to buy ink cartridges and toner cartridges – they're as relevant to the office as they've ever been.

That's because neither feature on a list of the modern office equipment that is facing extinction in 2011.

According to Real Business, the list, put together by Pixmania-pro and based on historical and current sales data, reveals that CDs, memory sticks and Rolodexes (those rotating file devices) are the top three endangered bits of equipment for this year.

Personal diaries and calculators round off the top five, and desk phones, waste paper bins, shredders and mobile water coolers complete the top ten.

It looks as though smartphones, servers and more environmentally-friendly business methods are driving the demise of these once-common office items.

But no such troubles for the humble ink cartridge – it looks as though it'll go from strength to strength, and especially for home workers.

According to Stefan Zachary, founder of Zachary Design, garages "left, right and centre" are being converted into home offices – which could bring about a rise in the sale of ink cartridges.
