Printer Repair Service Contract extended
The existing Printer Repair Service Contract with
Laser Sharp that was to expire March 1 has been extended
to April 30. So, if you have a printer with a TLC Laser Sharp sticker on it, you should continue purchasing remanufactured toner cartridges with Laser Sharp to insure that your printer will still be covered
for repair service. If your printer does not have a TLC sticker on it, you have two options:
* New toner cartridges –Order from Staples
* Remanufactured toner cartridges- Order from Cartridge Savers
All contact information can be found on the Purchasing website at http://www.uwrf.edu/Purchasing/SupplyOrderingInformation.cfm
Purchasing is working with a committee to evaluate new vendors for the new printer repair service contract which will begin May 1. It is not yet determined who the new vendor will be, but Purchasing will notify you once
the contract has been awarded. Contact gail.anderson@uwrf.edu.
