Kodak Bulk Ink
Around twenty years ago I had a chat to a gentleman from Kodak, a certain Doctor in Colour Science who's name now has now unfortunately escaped my memory. I remember thinking how great it would be for us to be able to sell Kodak ink. How fantastic it would be for the industry to have the worlds best Imaging brand and one that demanded so much respect associated with it. It was only a quick chat but one I have always remembered.
For those that don’t know Kodak has a truly amazing history. In April 1880 George Eastman leased the third floor of a building in State Street in Rochester New York and began the commercial manufacture of dry plates. The name Kodak was registered in 1888 and that same year the first Kodak camera was released and took round pictures 6.4cm in diameter. It carried a roll of film of 100 exposures and is regarded as practically starting the amateur photography industry.
From 1888 to now Kodak has been a leader in film, imaging, cameras, imaging, inks, papers and probably a million other products and patented ideas that I wouldn’t have any knowledge about.
So when I noticed Kodak again, I couldn’t help but ask them if they had inks available or could manufacture a custom ink. To my great surprise, they already had started manufacturing inks suitable for our needs. It was a great feeling to receive samples with the Kodak name on it and to be dealing with Rochester in New York.
So it’s a very proud moment for Ausjet to be now associated with the Kodak company. Not only can you now say to your customers "we are using Kodak ink inside the cartridge we just remanufactured for you" but you also are getting ink from a true OEM and the benefits that come with that. Remember Kodak use to also produce their own desktop and wide format printers. They have over 120 years of imaging science behind them, the inks are manufactured to the highest quality, they have probably the smallest pigment particle size in the industry, ultra filtered and all manufactured in the USA. They have tremendous understanding of coatings and ink interaction as they have been manufacturing coated inkjet papers for many years. I could go on forever….
Ausjet supply both Kodak and Sensient! Each are world class ink manufacturers that to be honest, we are very lucky to be able to provide to you. In this world of big business, big contracts and big money this might just be a win for us small guys. Take advantage of it ...it doesn’t happen often!
