Printer.com the largest proprietary database of printer ink and toner prices (http://www.Printer.com), announced their price indices show most major manufacturers are increasing their retail pricing anywhere from 3% to 6%.

This effects not just one or two manufacturers, but appears to effect all manufacturers. As of September 2008, HP (http://hp.printer.com/) increased the list prices on all Mono and Color LaserJet Print Cartridges by 5%, as well as approximately 5-6% on Inkjet Cartridges. Lexmark (http://lexmark.printer.com) and Xerox (http://xerox.printer.com) also raised their pricing on printer supplies in November 2008 with 5% across the board for Lexmark and 3% to 6% for Xerox. Brother, Canon and Oki soon followed suit.

Printer.com'ss Director of U.S. Operations Bob Crum, says, Expect the ink and toner cartridge price increases to remain until several months after the recession has been put to bed. No one likes increasing prices, but ink and toner are often very profitable revenue streams for printer manufacturers, and incremental price increases just make business sense for a lot of organizations looking to increase profit margins in tougher financial conditions.
