OctoInkjet is the brain child of (me) Martin Smallridge. I'm a sole trader with roughly ten years of experience with inkjet printers, with the past seven developing that way beyond a standard user.

This obsession started thanks to my other role, looking after primary (K-12) schools in the UK.

The low budgets available in such schools made the use of CIS and waste ink management an obvious path to low cost printing (as low as 0.4p per page!). The key benefit being childrens ability to print and share their work without teachers fretting about cartridge/ink costs. Naturally, with positives like this, it is one I quickly focused on.

This early research expanded into what are now widely known as Continuous Ink Supply (or CIS) systems which is still an area of interest.

In case you hadn't noticed, the waste ink side of things has now taken over. With so many poor quality kits out there, I quickly realised that "cheap" didn't equal "cheerful customers" so I set about designing and building my own kits.

Coupled with an ever growing array of parts, tubing, inks and more, OctoInk continues to cater for those looking to get the most out of their inkjet printer.

Whilst the OctoInkjet is the "commercial arm" of my Inkjet enterprise, I still actively develop resources such as those found on wasteink.co.uk and continuousink.info. All of these help anyone dealing with printer issues, whilst helping to push development forward in a number of directions.

There is life outside of OctoInkjet although now most of that revolves around my wife and our baby son.
