I recently bought a second hand laser printer which had a small amount of ink left but I needed to…read morefind a compatible new cartridge for when I did run out. After doing some research I discovered it was expensive to buy a brand new one, so the next best option was to get a refill. Cartridge World was the cheapest place to get one now and the next best option was to get one online, but I couldn't wait and if I got the wrong one or it didn't work for some reason then returns are difficult and costly. I also experienced fast and friendly service. Besides ink refills they stock all various types of photocopy, printer papers and photographic paper. I couldn't resist buying a luxurious heavier weighted printer paper which had a carbon matt finish on it and the black and white prints which came out were great quality and didn't jam in the printer. The salesman was able to advise me if it was going to work on my printer as he had the same one, so I was confident in my purchase.

I brought a printer a few months back, and because they only half fill the cartridges in new…read moreprinters, I soon needed a refill. I'd heard good things about cartridge world. Not only do they stock the original brands, but also their own generic brand which comes in at less than half the cost for twice as much. Two guesses which one I went for. I also like the fact that even though I went in there asking for the HP brand, the guy told me it was cheaper for me to go the generic.

Officeworks on Portrush Road at Trinity Gardens is my stand out Officeworks store. Sure, many of…read moretheir products are similar to those on offer at all Officeworks, nevertheless this one is my fave - and its actually not even the closest one for me. What makes this one stand apart from all the others? I think the printing service at Trinity Gardens is first class. They are always prompt and will let you know if there's a delay in getting your job done. I also think the staff here are super helpful. There is one older man in particular who has helped me in the past and I often see him helping other customers take oversized items out to their cars. It may sound pretty obvious but not all shops offer this really basic service.

Officeworks used to be a much better place for designers like myself to get some supplies, but…read moretheir range of quality pens and technical paper seems to be dwindling. They do still stock some copic markers and staedtler items so not all is lost. They also have a pretty easy to use photo printing service which I really should use more because printed photos are cool. Their ink prices for printers is still exorbitant and I'd rather just go to the library and print or buy ink off the internet, and they sell really crap knock of designer furniture like plastic versions of classic Eames chairs so that sucks. It would be great if Officeworks had a design section with rolls of paper, bleed proof paper and Copic marker refills for pen and paper nerds like me, but like another reviewer said, they are the "bunnings of stationery" and like bunnings, woolworths etc, they only stock what is economical for them, not necessarily the best products for the end user.
