Your Printer Can Now Order Ink For You, Thanks to Amazon

The printers and dishwashers have sensors that detect when ink and detergent are running low and automatically order more through Amazon.

The API for Amazon’s Dash Replenishment Service also came out of private beta today, which Amazon says gives everyone from big corporations to small businesses and hobbyists the ability to make their devices DRS-compatible.

Amazon on Tuesday announced the arrival of devices that order their own refills from the online retail titan.

“Customers can start taking advantage of the service today and we will continue to launch and add new devices to the program this year”, Rausch said.

Added Brother marketing senior VP Don Cummins, “We are excited to work with the Amazon Dash Replenishment Service and be a part of its official launch … making it easy for our users to automatically have their ink or toner replenished when they need it”.

The devices represent Amazon’s latest push toward speed and convenience.

“It’s exciting to make Dash Replenishment a reality”.

Purell-GOJO, the inventors of PURELL Advanced Hand Sanitizer, is launching a development project to connect its innovative touch-free dispensing systems equipped with GOJO SMARTLINK Technology with Amazon Dash Replenishment Service. He noted that it could be of genuine value as well as offer a glimpse into the future. More than 45 models are compatible with the service. “It’s not too different from a service like Uber that lets you fractionalize your payments and only pay for what you use”. Some people have already done this with Amazon Dash Buttons, coming up with solutions for ordering pizza or getting alcohol delivered with the press of a button.

Owners of the $5 buttons, which are connected to the local Wi-Fi network, are only able to set orders for products from a certain brand, which must be configured via the Amazon app. The replenishment service is available to all Amazon customers, while the Dash button is only available to Amazon Prime members.
