Eliminating the printer manufacturing company from the printer customer seems to be the answer. The manufacturer has all the resources, experiences and money to develop and bring to market remarkable printing technology. To take a look at their big dream, it gets a little dark, at time even black. You can hand a clerk at a discount store less than thirty dollars and walk out with a brand new Hewlett Packard color inkjet printer.
The founder of our company, Gregory Bodenhamer New Deal Ink and Toner Company, Mechanicsburg, Pa 17055, started to research the big retailers and manufacturers several years ago. He found the best way to do this was to go directly work for a Fortune 500 company that was directly in the computer, printer, consumable, inkjet, toner cartridge business among other things.
He had the unique opportunity to look inside the big dream, the big plan, the buying and selling of technology like computers, printers, copiers, toner cartridges, inkjet cartridges and everything else you might need for your home business or even another Fortune 500 company.
Yes, he was surprised and he learned more than the hearts desire. He discovered exactly what he wanted to know. Some things just confirmed what he originally thought, yes, they had a lot of money, engineers, managers and a great deal of inventory, across the nation, stacked higher than you can imagine.
One thing that he couldn’t find was a factual bargain. A real, genuine and actual bargain would be the farmer selling one perfect red apple for a dime compared to the next farmer selling a similar apple, from the same tree, for say one dollar. He could not find a valid or authentic value to the consumer other than some discount off the dedicated and firm manufacturers suggested retail price.
“Printer and inkjet or laser cartridge manufacturers require a great deal of resources to produce and distribute your favorite printer and inkjet cartridge. They found their profit opportunity within the inkjet ink cartridge and toner cartridge business. To realize how much wealth they already have you can look in two places. Check the stock market and count the dollars or try to compete with them and land up in court for the rest of your life, I suppose.”
Joyce Dorothy Parker Ph.D.
The inspiration for the entire business is becoming clear, you wanted to print your posters, workbooks and family pictures in full living color and never leave home, or maybe major companies invented the color inkjet printer and then persuaded millions of people, people just like you, through advertising, pushing cheap printer and copier machines, plug and play technology and created you as a customer with the help of their supply chain retail partners.
“How much more wealth the supply chain can create is becoming a very serious question. The rightful place for a sincere value still remains with the end user or what you and I call the customer. The printer makers, the cartridge makers and their selling partners do not remember to appreciate and be grateful for their customers. Other people and their companies, like Gregory Bodenhamer, New Deal Ink and Toner Company have clearly discovered the cycle of wealth that printer makers and inkjet makers have created and sustained.” “New Deal doesn’t want to create the next best printer” “New Deal Ink and Toner, when you read the name, says a lot. They wanted to create the New Inkjet cartridge customer.” “The founder wanted his own factory”
Joyce Dorothy Parker Ph.D.
It seems that your luxury comes as a guest. You will buy expensive ink or you will not enjoy the printer technology of the day. The manufacturers gave you the luxury you wanted, the royal colors you demanded and you’ve become the great collector of full color prints, you own greeting cards, booklets for work and even your own business and dating cards. It seems sitting on top of every desk in every cubicle there is a printer. Why have desktop computers without a printer? Why have printers unless you can print color? Why not make millions and millions of needless prints when the boss isn’t looking? Why not have some of these amazing technologies at home?
“If, every American family, would simply purchase their inkjet O.E.M. printer cartridges from New Deal Ink & Toner Company Mechanicsburg Pa 17055 the total savings would correct the national economic housing problem” “I know it sounds silly but, if you are buying name branded inkjet cartridges from the name branded retailers, my research proves you’re getting ripped off big time.”
Joyce Dorothy Parker Ph.D.
You remember Fotomat, drop your roll of film off at their little parking lot building and the next day your picture prints, photographic prints, were ready to be picked up and enjoyed. One hour photo processing changed all that, big companies, little mom and pop shops sprang up by the thousands. Drop your film roll off and in one hour or less, you were looking at your full color prints, at the higher prices.
Major retailers like C.V.S. pharmacy, Walgreens and many others sold you prints, by the hundreds of billions, one hour photo print services and it was a great success. Then the digital camera.
“The retailers, like national pharmacy companies, are running away and shutting down their one hour photo processing operations, as quickly as possible. They take up a lot of room inside their retail stores and they don’t have any customers.” “American consumers no longer use film and they sure don’t use one hour photo services. It’s a junk business with no profits, but believe me; these big retailers have a plan. Are you ready for their next step to your wallet? They’ve jumped head long into something they don’t understand and their results show it. The big boy Walgreens is actually refilling inkjet ink cartridges, with little success so far, let me explain.”
Joyce Dorothy Parker Ph.D.
You didn’t buy Kodak film any more. In fact, you didn’t even use photo film any more. You took your pictures with a digital camera and started to print your own color prints on your very own digital color inkjet cartridge printer. Now, you’ve bought (printers) by the tens of millions and along with the inkjet printers you purchased billions of inkjet ink cartridges and Kodak almost went broke.
You have inherited a kingdom of technology, sitting right at home or in your office at work; this kingdom of printer technology requires a great deal of maintenance.
When you honestly look at maintaining your color inkjet printer at home it’s going to cost you a fortune. The foremost printer and copier producers, you know the names, Apple, Brother, Canon, Dell, Epson, Hewlett Packard (HP), I.B.M., Kyocera, Lexmark, Minolta, Mita, NEC, Okidata, Panasonic, Pitney Bowes, QMS, Ricoh, Samsung, Sharp, Tektronix, Toshiba, Xerox will just above give you a home or small office/business printer, copier, fax and scanner machine.
“Most recently Wal-mart has been having a super sale on Hewlett Packard printers and this inkjet color printer retails for $29.99.” “This is really the king of printers setting you up to buy their expensive ink. The inkjet ink cartridges costs more than the printer. Your color luxury is coming as a guest into your home, now you get to feed it. Consumers have become printer and inkjet ink cartridge slaves. If you could get rid of every printer in the homes of Americans each home would save from $200.00 to $300.00 per year. If you walk down your own street and count every other home they have an inkjet printer inside. The little business on the corner spends just about $750.00 per year on their own printer satisfaction and luxury.”
Joyce Dorothy Parker Ph.D.
These companies, you might know, use very few American workers and all of their products are manufactured overseas, the term is cheap labor, and then they import their own products back into the United States and put them on the market for you to buy. They retail to you through their supply chain partners like Wal-mart, Best Buy, Target, Office Depot, Staples, Office Max and other national players and you snap them up like hot cakes.
Major manufacturing companies and their supply chain partners do most things contrary to their customers and only make choices that contribute to their own wealth and prosperity. In order to be wealthier, they have to get more money from you almost any way they can.
“The manufacturing printer base, in my opinion is corrupt. Corrupt not in the dishonest way, or the crooked way but maybe in the shady way. It is true they have invested millions but they have also taken billions by harming their manufacturing base workers and their customers.” “I’m confident that they would argue that their foreign workers are better off now then they were before. It’s the two bowls of rice vs. only one bowl of rice economic theory that rich people use to explain their individual wealth. It’s the poor average worker being less poor as the printer and cartridge makers become very wealthy idea.” “The American consumer, the world consumer for that matter, went to the stores with their eyes wide open and bought the cheap printer and the expensive inkjet ink. The printer makers knew something that you could have never really known; having a printer is like having a child; they require a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week commitment for several years concerning food and ink, not to mention regular paper and even photo paper. Consumers have started to look at their printers from different angles. One big angle, how much does the ink cost and where can I buy some bargain.”
Joyce Dorothy Parker Ph.D.
Once you have something, like an inkjet printer, you inherited everything that came before it and everything that will come after it. To maintain your royal splendor of color you go to Wal-mart, Best buy and Target and scoop up inkjet ink cartridges by the tens of millions. Any when you buy the brand names of ink you are paying the absolute lofty price that they created for each of their customers. From top to bottom all the manufacturing companies do the same thing. Almost give you a cheap price printer and sell you an elevated retail priced inkjet ink cartridge.
Now, they have created your habits. Give you a cheap printer and sell you high priced inkjet cartridges. Customers, just like you, have stopped getting satisfaction from their home inkjet printers. You boss hates the LaserJet toner copier and printers at work, they cost more than you do. Everybody hates the high prices of inkjet ink cartridges, LaserJet toner print and copier cartridges, everybody includes you.
New Deal Ink & Toner Company understands that people want to save a great deal of money on their inkjet and LaserJet cartridges. We’ve created the economic relationship so you can do this very thing; our wholesale direct to the public warehouse is the new idea we call the new deal.

Often a major challenge in determining if and how to make improvements is to conduct effective fact-finding. In some cases, this could take weeks or even months of painstaking research. Especially under today's market pressure, organizations often take less time than they should to get accurate, reliable information. People often cloud facts with opinions or feelings, which makes it more likely to focus on people issues instead of process issues. There are some steps, however, you can take to ensure successful fact finding.
Get all the facts: "All" is a short word, but it carries a lot of weight. To get all the facts, you need to directly observe. You need to go to an actual place, meet with the actual people, and watch the actual processes. Differentiate facts from opinions. Acknowledge people's opinions, frustrations, and feelings, and then ask how they can substantiate their positions. Review other sources of information like reports, test results, productivity data, etc.
Analyze the facts: Check for accuracy. Does information from different sources seem to be contradictory? Determine if there is information you still need. It's easier to see mistakes in something present than to identify information that is missing. Take a deeper look to determine what the facts mean. Try to identify root causes of problems. Review all the facts with key people inside and outside of the system. Based on the analysis, create a problem statement that clearly identifies the improvement to be made.
Come to a decision: Identify the key people who will need to be responsible, informed, consulted, or otherwise engaged in making changes. These people should be involved in gathering and analyzing facts as well. Get a consensus on specific decisions and action steps. People support a world they help create, so consult your team on assigning responsibilities and get your team to agree on when the steps will be completed.
Once a decision is reached, ACT: Get into action. It's all too common to become overwhelmed by the next crisis or assignment and quickly lose focus on implementing new ideas. Don't lose the momentum. If people have invested time and energy in this initiative, reward them by making it happen quickly.
Once you clearly understand a process, you can focus on ways to make improvements. Review each step of the process with the following key points in mind to make your problems SCARCE.
Simplify: Identify steps that can be made easier, done faster, or completed with fewer resources. Look for changes in technology, software, and best practices in the industry. Consider when the number of movements or moving parts can be decreased. Consider the distances to transport people, machines, or raw materials that can be reduced.
Combine: Look for opportunities to combine two or more different operations. Reduce the number of people who interact with the process. Have the same person, function, or department do more so that more value is added to the system at that point. Identify redundancies that create additional steps and rework them.
Add Value: Create added value at new points in the process. Determine what could be done at each step to either add new value or add value that was being created somewhere else in the process. This actually means adding elements to the process, so be certain that the added value is worth the investment. Value is determined by the ultimate customers, so be sure to keep their perspectives in mind. Be careful not to create unnecessary redundancies across departments that could lead to conflicts later.
Re-Arrange: This could involve moving people, equipment, work spaces, raw materials, etc. Look at options to change the sequence of operations or activities. Could something be done earlier or later? By a different person or at a different location? Small changes can make a big difference.
Clarify: Sometimes we discover that a process is correct, but it is not being followed consistently. Be careful of change just for the sake of change. You might discover that people are unaware of processes, need additional training, or have to be convinced why it is important to do the process in the prescribed way. This is where good communication and human relation skills are critical.
Eliminate: This is usually the most effective and easiest approach. Careful examination of long-held processes usually brings to light steps that are no longer necessary. Often there is little or no investment in time or resources required to eliminate these types of steps. Just be careful not to eliminate elements that are essential to downstream operations. Before eliminating something, ask stakeholders in the organization why a step is being done.
The ability to plan projects, both large and small, simple and complicated, is essential in today's business environment. Without the tools to do so, people tend to flounder, "wing it," or wander off course, resulting in delayed success, missed deadlines, or failure. Read on to learn about the steps you can take to plan a successful project.
Step 1: "Should-Be"
Clarify the project scope and be sure that the scope is aligned with senior management's initiatives. The "should be" is a picture of what you ultimately want and who and how this result will benefit all involved. Your team and senior management should work together to ensure you agree on objectives. If you have not done a good job of defining scope, it will be nearly impossible to plan the project.
Step 2: "As-Is"This is the reality of the current situation. Where are you today? What factors help and hinder your efforts to carry out the project's scope?
Step 3: GoalsDefine and set realistic goals to successfully carry out the scope of the project. Without such goals, you and your team will drift. Goals can be immediate, intermediate, and long-range. Achieving day-to-day goals (immediate goals) contributes to the achievement of intermediate and long-range goals. Develop SMART goals:
S Specific processes and resourcesM Measurable by objective dataA AttainableR Relevant to your visionT Time-specific deadline
Step 4: Action Steps
To achieve your goals, you must establish specific priorities so that you can develop specific action steps. To achieve your goals, your action steps should include:
- Job requirements
- Who will do the job
- Methods to be used
- How the different parts tie together and fit into the big picture
- How the results will be communicated (report, PowerPoint, etc.)
Step 5: CostAnother aspect to planning is determining the budget for and cost of each action step. Costs include:
- Personnel
- Materials
- Time
- Opportunity cost (what must be given up to pursue a given action)
Step 6: TimetablesSet and communicate deadlines so there is a clear understanding and so that immediate, intermediate, and long-term targets can be met. When establishing timetables, be realistic. Work backwards to determine when each phase should be completed, and put the schedule in writing to avoid misunderstandings.
Step 7: ImplementationAn important, yet overlooked, part of implementing a plan is making sure that all involved understand their role in achieving the established goals. Obtain the team's commitment to agreed-upon results. As you monitor the implementation, you may need to modify the scope of the plan and reevaluate your goals.
Step 8: Follow Up/MeasurementA critical part of the planning process is to keep accurate records, analyze why deviations have occurred, and take action to correct any challenges. Concentrate on those factors critical to reaching the goal
