Australian Newsagency Blog

Keytek, the high profile compatible ink and toner supplier to newsagents and which, as I understand it, supplies Officeworks, competes with those it supplies through its PrintXpress website. PrintXpress is very price competitive - undercutting many retailers it supplies through its Keytek parent. It’s disappointing that Keytek is harming its business partners in this way.

UPDATE: 30/8/07. Chris Watts, Marketing Manager from Keytek called me today and explained that PrintXpress was a test site and was never meant to go live, that it was his initiative and not Keytek’s as such, and, that they were not out to compete with newsagents and other retail customers. On the evidence, the site was live and it was competing against Keytek customers.
