Default Pooling to buy supplies Cheaper.

Is anyone here interested in getting together and buying supplies at the same time to get a better price?

I'm thinking that if we got a group that was buying 10-20 liters of ink per month we could barter a better price. This would apply to people buying the Dupont inks. 4 colors and white.

If interested reply to this topic with the total number of liters you use per month.

I use on average:

5 liters of ink per month.
1-2 gallons of pretreat.


Thanks,
Andy

Interesting idea, but I think it would only work on a drop-ship basis. If you had to ship it all 1 place and then reship to the final destination, the shipping costs would eat up a lot of the savings.

I agree with that. I also live within 30 miles of US Screen and 2-3 dealers.

Thanks,
