Architectural firms
The blueprints for constructions or design project are often required to be modified thousands times before the final versions. Over time, paper-based drawings aged and became damaged. You can preserve the original versions of your drawings by digitizing them. When your document is digital, you never have to worry about damages during handling.

Artists

Examination paper

Haven't officially used it yet and waiting on other stuff to be delivered from other places to go with this so haven't used it as yet and will need help to set it up because I haven't been able to do it
Good! But I bought this pack thinking I was saving $60 for the price for the same items from Officeworks however because I didn't read the listing carefully enough when I received the items I found that only the black Cartridge is XL, the coloured ones are not XL and because the smaller ones are $20 cheaper at Officeworks I paid the same and did not save anything by buying through this seller. My fault, but just something to know if you are considering purchasing these ink cartridges.
Great item, well packaged and correctly described. AAA+++
