An advertisement for ink?

For now, Iā€™m calling it a pointless post that Iā€™ll be removing soon unless @akashxp supplies a bit more information on whatā€™s being asked.

Thread? Post?

To PM, it is an ad.
it has all the key-word copy of an AD.

It could possibly be called a ā€œsell sheetā€ if it were printed on paper (or maybe even a PDF) But itā€™s too scattered and requires too much reading to be a sell sheet. Sell sheets are 8.5x11 ish and have all the info without all the drivel (some of which, I just noticed is very poorly written, has rivers running through it because of the justification, and has orphans.)

It looks like a poorly executed internet AD

And dye base inks are crap. :upside_down_face:

#10

Even the good crap ones?

In desktop printer world, all the ā€˜dye baseā€™ inkjet inks fade in a matter of months. Some are better than others. Pigmented are better.

I flagged it as advertising right away. Iā€™m surprised itā€™s becoming a thread.

Itā€™s very odd to advertise just the magenta cartridgeā€¦

Iā€™d categorize it as an Advertorial.

No idea how it was used: newspaper; magazine; brochure; mailer; insert; in-store?

It wouldnā€™t be used for Displays as thereā€™s too much text.

So in my book itā€™s an Advertorial. Which are usually made to look like an article, but they are adverts.

Thereā€™s no call to action.

In my mind itā€™s an advertorial for sure.

Itā€™s not a real sell sheet. Too much (poorly written) ad verbiage, not enough tech specs.
