The title of this post pretty much says it all, and the picture of the garbage printer above is the culprit for my recent revelation. After disposing of a pile of garbage that Canon calls the MX922, I moved on to this bigger (literally and figuratively) pile of garbage that Epson calls the WorkForce Pro WF-4630. … [Read more...]
Mophie Powerstation Plus Mini – A Review that Almost Didn’t Happen
A few months ago I bought this Mophie Powerstation Plus Mini Backup Battery (via Amazon) because I was looking for the most compact and travel convenient battery backup for my phone that I could find that still had a decent capacity. The reason I say this review almost didn't happen though is that it failed on me about 4 months after my purchase, but the good folks at morphie had me covered and immediately took care of getting my item replaced. Customer … [Read more...]
September 2017 JetPens Gift Card Giveaway Winner and an Awesome New Mouse
I usually like to share some deals or sales on office supply related items here, but I've been so excited about the new Logitech MX Ergo Trackball Mouse that I wanted to share it here with everyone. I know not everyone is a trackball user, but its been my mouse of choice for almost 2 decades now and seeing an updated version for the first time in such a long time is pretty exciting, so I grabbed one immediately. I'm still testing it out, but a review … [Read more...]
DUO Ultimate Everyday Ballpoint Pen and Stylus
The DUO Ultimate Everyday Ballpoint Pen and Stylus is a new Kickstarter project that launched today, and you can find the campaign page here. As you can tell from the product name, this is a pretty straight forward product, its a retractable (via twist mechanism) pen with a capacitive stylus at the top. … [Read more...]
Epson WorkForce Pro WF-4630 Photo Print Quality and Scan Quality
Updated 10/18/17 This printer is absolute garbage, buy at your own risk, but don't say you weren't warned. In my comparison shopping and obsessive reading of online reviews for the new Epson WorkForce Pro WF-4630 printer (via Amazon) that I recently purchased, I had a hard time finding information about the WorkForcePro WF-4630 Photo Print Quality. I had an Epson printer in the past that I really liked that printed amazing pictures, so I figured I … [Read more...]
My Printer Won’t [ Fill in the Blank]
![My Printer Won’t [ Fill in the Blank]](http://officesupplygeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Broken-Printer-150x150.jpg)
Instead of a review today, I have a PSA for you regarding printers, and its pretty simple. Although I had initially had good results with my Canon MX922, it recently decided that it doesn't recognize black ink after only a little over a year of use. Unfortunately after lots of time researching and troubleshooting I've found that the only way to fix this issue is to take it in for service. So for a $100 printer, I'm assuming it makes more sense to … [Read more...]
Anker Braided USB Cable Review and a Nice Extra
Normally when I buy some new USB cables, the thought of writing about them here never even crosses my mind, but leave it to Anker to find a way of making even lowly boring USB cables fun and exciting. The Anker Braided USB Cables (via Amazon) are not the only braided USB cables out there, but the presentation and packaging are outstanding, and as a pen person, the packaging also makes for a great additional accessory. Just as a side note one of the four … [Read more...]
Aukey 36W Quick Charge 3 Dual Port Wall Charger
With my recent upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge phone, I found myself needing to swap out my old chargers and cables to take advantage of the Quick Charge capabilities built into the phone. The most compelling charger out there for me was the Aukey 36W Dual Port Quick Charge 3 Wall Charger (via Amazon) although its a little overpowered for what I actually need since the Edge only utilizes Quick Chare 2.0 and not 3.0 but the Aukey wall charger is … [Read more...]
Logitech M570 Trackball
After posting some great sales on the wireless Logitech M570 Trackball (via Amazon) I realized that I never actually reviewed mine. Being that I liked it so much that I bought two I figured I shouldn't short change it like that, especially after recommending it so often at the great sale prices its seen lately. … [Read more...]
Booq Viper Hardcase Review the Best Dell XPS13 Case
Booq Viper Hardcase for the Dell XPS13 - Interior View: Not too long ago I picked up this Booq Viper Hardcase (via Amazon) so I would have a safe place to tuck away my Dell XPS13 when I travel. I had been eyeing it for a while before I actually picked it up, but I'm glad I did, because it helped keep my laptop safe and sound while I was traveling the last few days. … [Read more...]
Pilot Vanishing Point Stylus Hack – Not Really a Hack
So something I kind of stumbled on by mistake is that there is a Pilot Vanishing Point stylus hack, that well isn't really a hack...because you just pick it up and use it like a stylus. Check out the video below for a little additional detail though. For some reason this didn't work well at all with an iPhone and surprisingly (to me at least) the bamboo version of the Pilot Vanishing Point also works. Also, there is the obvious … [Read more...]
TYLT Vu Solo Qi Wireless Charger Review
The TYLT Vu Solo Qi Wireless Charger (via Amazon or direct from TYLT) is a great wireless charging pad for your Qi compatible phone that reduces your need to fiddle around trying to find just the right spot to get your phone charging. Full disclosure on this one, the fine folks at TYLT provided this free of charge for review purposes. It goes without saying that a free product won't influence my actual opinion, and in this case I've actually reviewed one … [Read more...]
EMF Pocket Protector for the Modern Office Supply Geek
So every self respecting office supply geek needs a pocket protector right? I mean thats the old stereotype of a true geek or nerd, but in today's age of wireless electronics I think there is a more important pocket protector that one should be aware of. I've always been on the fence about the whole EMF and health risk issue, but there have been recent studies that seem to lend more credence to the fact that the radiation emitted from your cell phone has … [Read more...]

Staples AvantPro Retractable Pen and Stylus
The other day I was at Staples doing some some shopping and research when I came across their private label AvantPro Retractable Stylus and Pen. I've never been a huge fan of having a pen with a stylus at the top, so this offering with the retractable point that goes through the stylus tip seemed like a great alternative. … [Read more...]
