That's all folks! Looking forward to The Manx Grand Prix 2025!
Thursday, August 29, 2024

It has to be said that the 2024 Manx Grand Prix was really disappointing due to particularly challenging weather conditions, which caused several delays and led to some races being shortened, rescheduled and cancelled. 

This year everyone faced unpredictable weather conditions, making it challenging for safety officials to determine when racing could safely proceed. The 37-mile Mountain Course, which includes sections of both high and low ground, presented a significant challenge. While the lower sections of the track might be dry .....



The time is nigh!
Friday, August 23, 2024

Race weekend is here!  The excitement is building for a weekend of spectacular racing skills and thrills.

It has to be said that the weather has been shocking and this has put pay to much practice.  But the Team and John are upbeat and hopeful that they will get some racing in now this weekend.

From what we hear it has been a disappointing event so far.  There's been rain.  There's been wind.  The ferry has crashed into the harbour.  Even dedicated spectators can't swim that far! So numbers are under .....



The dangers of racing at The Manx Grand Prix tragically come to pass.
Tuesday, August 20, 2024

All of us at First Call Inks want to offer our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Louis O'Regan.  

At 43 years old he had competed since 2013 and was considered a seasoned rider.  Louis O'Regan lost his life during the opening qualifying session of The Manx at Kate's Cottage on the track.

Known for his skill and high speed on the course this tragedy very much highlights the extreme dangers and risks that these dedicated motorcyclists willingly subject themselves to.

RIP Louis O'Regan.

Remanufactured Ink Cartridge - 2 cartridge machines
Thursday, June 20, 2024

This post is about printers that take 2 ink cartridges.  One for the black and another for the colour.  It is based on our own experience.

Firstly, it should be made clear what a remanufactured ink actually is.  They are an original cartridge that has simply been refilled with a lot more ink.  This is where the value is for printers that have this set up.  We can't make a new compatible for these printers but you can get considerably better value printing from using a refilled one.

You will note that norm .....



Trustpilot Reviews

Thoughts for today are about our reviews on Trustpilot.  These are very important for our business reputation and we are so grateful to have had such an amazing response from our customers.  We are very grateful to you all!

Although in business for many years we have only recently joined.  The response really has been quite overwhelming.  Such lovely comments have been made and we have been very lucky that everyone has embraced the opportunity to .....



17 April 2024 If in doubt, print it out.
Wednesday, April 17, 2024

It never ceases to amaze me how many people have blind faith in their mobile phones.  Particularly the kids!  Everything stored on them.  Their entire lives. 

We probably all do this to a certain extent but how many times do I worry that the battery will go?  I will lose it?  Even break it?

Does a train ticket matter if it's on my phone and I can't get access?  Maybe not.  Fairly inexpensive to replace.  Same with a cinema ticket.  Insurance document?  Unlikely that I will ne .....



12 April 2024 Royal Mail Confusion.
Friday, April 12, 2024

There seems to be a strange issue with Royal Mail.  I am pleased to say that it is only two customers so far but it is quite frustrating.  These 2 customers have been asked for a £5 penalty for underpayment of post.  They have had to pay this in order to receive what they thought was our item.

To clarify, we have an account with Royal Mail.  We have had an account for many years.  We know how to package and pay for our orders.  These have not been our orders in eith .....



Wednesday 10 April 2024 New Printer Hints
Wednesday, April 10, 2024

As I am in charge of our blog and I have been pondering subjects to write about.  Coincidentally today it was drawn to my attention by a customer that buying new printers can be fraught.  

After receiving a telephone call today asking for advice I thought a little info maybe a helpful thing…

…This customer had found a printer that took remanufactured inks.  That is if he was to obtain the best value printing with this machine.  I have an issue with these.  They run a cartridge for the black and one for th .....
