Back To School Savings Have Begun....Start With Your Ink Cartridges!

Cartridge World, the world’s leading retailer of eco-friendly ink and toner printer cartridges, is helping new college students in the Windsor area find the right printers this back-to-school shopping season.

As local students head to college this fall, their list of necessities seems never ending. In addition to text books and computers, a reliable printer is usually an essential purchase for any college student.

“Finding a top quality, budget-friendly printer isn't as easy as it sounds. Cartridge World can help,” said John Fraser, owner of Cartridge World - Windsor. “At Cartridge World, we‘re local home and office printing experts. Before jumping on the first ‘great printer deal’ you find, talk to one of our trained staff. We may be able to save a lot of headaches and a small fortune in the long run.”

 

Customers can purchase a printer through Cartridge World - Windsor, and the store’s staff is ready to assist and make recommendations on a variety of printer models. Cartridge World - Windsor also can help determine potential savings on ink and toner cartridges purchased through the store.

Over a four-year period, eco-friendly ink and toner cartridges for popular home printer models can save a student as much as $800 over new cartridge prices. Shipping is available if a local Cartridge World store isn’t located near a student’s college campus.

 

Fraser offers a few easy tips to help local students find the best printer to take to college:

1. Determine the cost for ink. Over the lifetime of a printer, the cost of ink can be 10 times as much as the purchase price of the printer.

2. Stay away from tri-color ink cartridges. They cost a fortune because when one color is empty, you need to replace the entire cartridge.

3. Look for a machine that will fit your room. The average dorm room is fairly small and your desk isn’t likely to have room for a big, bulky printer. Choose a printer that’s small enough to fit the space.

4. Evaluate your printing needs. Take into account what type of classes you will be taking, including if the class requires printing large research documents, high-quality photographs, etc.

5. Look for reliability. Take expert advice on printer reliability, read reviews and make sure the printer is easy to use.

With more than 1,400 stores across the globe, Cartridge World is the world’s largest specialty retailer of ink and toner printer cartridges. The company sells printer cartridges for home and office printers, copiers and fax machines.

The “10th Annual 2013 Wheatley Idol,” Sunday, August 4, 2013

Small Town, Big Talent Ready to Hit the Stage at Wheatley Idol – Celebrating 10 years!!

A little town with big talent! Who would have known that there was such amazing talent in such a little town? Youth from all around Southwestern ON will hit the stage at the “10th Annual 2013 Wheatley Idol,” which is taking place Sunday, August 4 at the Two Creeks Conservation Area in Wheatley. Wheatley Idol is a part of the annual Wheatley Fish Festival, which takes place the Civic Holiday Weekend Aug 2, 3, & 4.

Organizer of the event Darla Janzen told Biz X Magazine  (a proud sponosor of the event) the talent competition, which was started by the Wheatley Optimists, has grown since it began, and this feature attraction continues to grow.

“It remains to be a really popular event supporting Canadian talent in SW Ontario, ” she says. “Our goal and our passion have been to provide a showcase venue for talented youth in Canada's most southern mainland. We set another record year when we opened up the online pre-registration on May 15, and filled up fast, within just 24 hours!”

Season 10 registered contestants are from the Wheatley area and reach as far out as Windsor and Meaford. Janzen credits their enthusiastic Wheatley Idol members, their website, along with the media and other mediums for helping get the word out.

Janzen indicated a large crowd is anticipated again this year for the event. Preparations for the competition are going smooth, and contestants are now posted! Contestants come from all around to compete for the star-studded recording package and vying for the coveted Wheatley Idol title “Overall Winner – Top Star”.  The competition also draws hundreds of spectators, who offer support and encouragement for the great talent that takes to the outdoor stage. New to last year’s winners was the “Overall Runner-up Winner”. The singing competition is broken down into four age categories (6-9, 10-12, 13-16, and 17-29). “Celebrity judges” determine the 14 winners – 3 winners from each category, and in addition, an Overall Winner – Top Star, and Runner-up Winner – Rising Star are also chosen. Though it’s a singing competition, there are singer/songwriter talents that add to the mix, making it a diverse group of contestants.

“This year’s celebrity judges include local recording artist, singer/songwriter Nicole Barron, Country 95.9 & 92.7 FM morning host Cordell Green, and Amber Dubois, the 2012 Wheatley Idol Overall Winner, ” explains Janzen.

There are great prizes for all the winners! Darla is excited to announce the four 1st place winners from this year’s contest will also be invited to be guest singers at the 2013 Comber Fair - Miss Comber Fair Pageant.

 “We’ve tried to put a bit of everything into it, so it’s appealing to everybody,” she says.

Admission to the event is absolutely FREE, and open to the public as a free concert. Rain or shine! The Two Creeks outdoor amphitheatre makes for a wonderful woodland setting, and in the event of rain, the pavilion is available. Door prizes for the audience can be won and are drawn during the judge’s deliberations.

Food from the Wheatley Scouts will be for sale, and Country 95.9 & 92.7 FM, and MIX 96.7 FM Radio out of Leamington will be on hand during the event to give out free swag. Bring your lawn chairs and Idol cheers! Celebrity Emcees Dustyn Janzen and Corey Robertson, local celebrity personalities, will keep everyone entertained and well informed throughout the event.

Janzen says it is mind-blowing the talent out there, and some yet to be discovered. It has been wonderful to see the young talent grow over the years, and watch the up & coming artists to break out.

We encourage the public to come out to the event and enjoy the entertainment, and see who will be “Season 10 – 2013 Wheatley Idol Winners” on Aug 4th.  Check out their Facebook fan page and website for more details, Idol highlights, and news!  “Stay Tuned, Stay Connected!” with Wheatley Idol on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Idol Alerts! http://wheatleyidol.yolasite.com/
