Inkjet service — fair quality at a very good price

Our economy option uses chipless business-class printers. Choose inkjet for everyday documents and budget-conscious printing.

• Good price — Save 50% or more than Officeworks on print orders of 500 pages or more; business-class inkjet keeps the cost per page low.
• Fair print quality — A fair quality trade-off that lets us offer the best possible price on everyday printing.
• Copy paper only — Printed on standard 70gsm or 80gsm copy paper — not premium or heavy stock.
• Eco-conscious — Chipless, reusable ink tanks and long-life printers cut plastic and e-waste.

Laser printing service — standard commercial quality

Laser printing fuses dry toner to the paper for sharp text and fast, smudge-free output. Choose laser for professional documents, marketing materials and commercial jobs.

• Competitive price — From 18¢ per B&W side and 36¢ per colour side at entry volume, falling with quantity.
• Standard commercial quality — Market-standard quality on par with the main market players — consistent, professional-grade output.
• Paper stock handling — Handles a variety of paper stocks for flyers, letterheads and marketing pieces.
• Durability — Dry toner is water-resistant and smear-proof — prints stay clean in transit.
