Whistle Ink ‘Office Supplies’ Blog

Parliament

With all this expenses scandal going on I was interested to see how much was spent on office supplies. If some of them went crazy of the trivial items I imagine be able to order multipacks of top branded gel pens to be the order of the day!

I’m sure a quick scan of Whistle Ink and they could have reduced his office supplies overall! Here is the list of office supplies products they took the time to declare:

The claims:

Douglas Alexander claimed claimed 43p for a box of rubber bands and £7.83 for a box of disposable latex gloves

Sarah McCarthy Fry claimed 17p for two paperclips and £3.56 on gold and silver sticky stars

Andrew George charged £4.99 for a telescopic flick duster and £31.50 for a winter candle

Ed Balls, the Education Secretary and leading Brownite, claimed £9.99 to buy The Rebels: How Blair Mislaid His Majority

Martin Horwood, Lib Dem MP for Cheltenham, sent his PA away for a couple of days and spent £693.25 on the course “How to Be A Proactive PA”

Hugo Swire, Tory MP for East Devon, claimed £24.50 for an orchid plant for his office in 2005

David Cameron, the Tory leader, claimed £10 at the Parliamentary Bookshop for a copy of The Penguin Book of Historic Speeches

I’m sure these MPs would be any office stationery companies dream customer!

Dymo Labelwriter 400

I have this label printer the Dymo Labelwriter 400 and its pretty impressive.

Do you know when sometimes you have printed off a good few sheets of labels in the laser printer for a big mail job and then go and mess up a label for whatever reason? What a hassle.

Or when you realise you need to print one again or missed some out?

What a load of effort that involves, that you almost give up and walk out!

When it comes to the time you need to print just one or a couple of labels off the fly, simply select the address in Microsoft Word for example and with just one click your label is printed and ready.

There is no need to refill the ink either because it’s thermal printing. All the Dymo Labelwriter range is thermal printing so no expensive ink or toner cartridges needed. The only supplies you need are labels.

The little Dymo Labelwriter must be very slow if its very small?

Nope. It takes just 1 to 1.5 seconds and it doesnt make a heavy noise either. By teh time you have printed it and walk over to where you keep it - it’s ready to peel and stick.

Features & Benefits

• Eliminates the hassle of printing labels with a standard office printer.

• Direct thermal printing means you never change a ribbon, toner or ink cartridges. The only supplies you ever need are the labels.

• Fast print speed. Just 1-1/2 seconds per label. Very quiet.

• High resolution printing means crisp text, graphics, photos and barcodes.

• Includes easy to use DYMO Label Software that makes it simple to design labels and manage address books.

• Includes add-ins for instant printing from Microsoft Word, Outlook, QuickBooks, ACT!, Goldmine, Palm Desktop version 4 or later, WordPerfect® and more. LabelWriter also prints from other programs through standard print drivers.

• Easy to share over your Windows or Apple Macintosh network.

• Includes the free DYMO Software Developers Kit (SDK). The SDK lets you develop support for the LabelWriter into your custom application in minutes. Includes tools for all major development languages.

• Note: The LabelWriter 400 is NOT compatible with DYMO Stamps software.

Hi everyone,

The new website for Whistle Ink, which will stock the full range of office supplies as well as the ink cartridges and toners that current Whistle Ink business customers are used to seeing, is nearly finished.Below is a sneak peek at what you can look forward to when buying stationery for your office. Shop for envelopes, copier paper and post-it notes in luxury and style!

There are going to be many more features which you will find in the customer account section. Ideal for small businesses as well as medium to large, you can view invoices and print them, manage favourites and lists, store separate invoice and delivery addresses, making checkout (which will only be on one page!) that much quicker.

You have probably seen these ridiculous savings on ink and stationery or office supplies websites. They say the RRP for a packet of Post-it Notes is say £15.00 but you can have it for £10.00. Can you really believe that?

I believe that the RRP are put there, sky high, in order to make the real selling price look better and more of a bargain even though it may actually be not!

Don’t be fooled!

When our new site is launched selling the full range of office supplies you may see these RRP. Just look at out real selling price and you will find that from pens to paper and post-it notes, you will be able to buy at a very reasonable price!

Yes, the Whistle Ink site is still displaying the ‘The full range of office stationery coming soon’ notice.

The new site is currently being developed, complete witha  new look, exciting features as well as an extra 15,000 office supplies products.

We will be able to supply everything your office needs, from your typical A4 copier or laser paper to staples and post-it notes!

 Hope you are excited as we are!
