Epson XP405 Printer Ink Cartridges Shortage 2020

We have been exceptionally busy in the last few months of 2020 during the Irish lockdown when customers are stuck at home with the kids schooling and new offices being setup at home.

There's been an unexpected supply issue as a huge amount of inkjet Epson printer cartridges are recycled at special remanufactured inkjet cartridge factories mainly in Asia.

These are the plants whereby they are now unable to collect empty cartridges due to lockdown across the world. The immediate cause and effect has resulted in the extra demand for these cartridges and online ordering has soared.

Inkjet.ie have researched the 4 corners of the globe online in an attempt to try and meet demand of the consumers shortage supply of 85% of printer cartridges.

July/August 2020: There still is a shortage of supply but we are still searching the international internet suppliers to maintain supply in the face of such and we hope we are doing good job - we are trying our best we assure you!

Lockdown 2020 WFH - DIY Decorating and Home Office Printer Supplies

While we’ve all been stuck at home a lot longer than usual, one of the (unexpected) perks that this has brought us is the fact that we’ve realised just how much DIY we can get done if we put our minds to it.

One of the more surprising trends that we’ve seen over lockdown is the sharp rise in home and office improvements that we’ve all been getting up to. There's also the lockdown working from home scenario that many of us were unprepared for, so basic supplies of webcams, A4 printer paper, printers and of course printer inkjet cartridges have had a booming increase of buying via the internet.

According to a study undertaken by the Office for National Statistics, as a nation, the COVID-19 lockdown period has seen us spend significantly more time undertaking DIY projects.

The results of a similar survey by comparethemarket.com found that over the 2020 May Bank Holiday period, a staggering 74% of UK households planned to spend the long weekend tackling a few home DIY projects. It is clear that the rates of home DIY have experienced a significant boost over the lockdown period, as more people take to those forgotten home improvement jobs.

Home Office Refurbishment - From Bedroom to Boardroom

A recent survey of 2,000 adults, that was commissioned by Ronseal, found that these long put-off DIY jobs are finally being tackled during the lockdown period. The research found that half of these adults had noticed jobs that needed doing that they previously hadn’t taken any notice of. Interestingly, 3 out of 5 of the respondents said that these home improvement jobs normally got forgotten about by the time they’d left the house. As a result, more than half of the adults surveyed had undertaken lockdown DIY projects, with each respondent completing an average of 4 tasks each.

Positive Mental Attitude - Redecorating Your Office Your Way

Furthermore, the positive impact that completing these jobs was having on respondents’ mentality was also evident, as over two-thirds said that it had helped them ease boredom, and additional third of these adults said that the jobs they’d completed would give them something to show for the time they’d spent in lockdown.
