PhotoRag Pricing? Mistake on Price? Competitive Prices?

2001-10-20 by Steadman Uhlich

Hello all, 

I don't work for photoinkjet.com but I believe their prices as indicated below are messed up on their website...somewhat akin to a grocery store advertising gallons of milk for $289 per gallon (someone missed that decimal point).   

I have seen this before on their website and brought it to their attention...and it was quickly changed/corrected...for my benefit of course. (grin...nice service) If anyone ever visits my website, I am sure they will find errors/typos too.  I just hope I error on the high side if it is prices. (wink)

Tomorrow is Saturday, but if you are interested in that paper, I suggest you call them and tell them that their website shows 3x the price of the competition.  I believe it is a human error on the webmasters part.  It is a new product for them.

A competitive price for PhotoRag 308 at 25 sheets 11x17 should be in the neighborhood of $65.  Of course that is about the same as saying about $65 for 50 sheets of 8x11.
