Abstract: A cartridge providing system includes a printer ejecting, onto a printing medium, a liquid (recording material) supplied from a cartridge, and a server managing provision of the cartridge to a plurality of users that use the printer. The server determines whether an unused stock, which is a stock that remains unused for a first period or longer, is present in a stock of cartridges held by each of the plurality of users. In a case in which it is determined that an unused stock is present in the stock held by a first user of the plurality of users, when a period until a usage expiry date of the unused stock is less than a first threshold value, the server specifies a second user, of the plurality of users, to be provided with the unused stock, based on user stock data in which the stock of cartridges held by the user is registered, and on usage amount data indicating a usage amount of the cartridge.

Abstract: A cartridge provision system includes a printer that ejects liquid (recording material) supplied from a cartridge onto a print medium; and a server 10 that manages a provision of the cartridge to a user of the printer, wherein the server 10 manages vendor inventory data 22, which is data that associated an inventory of the cartridge held by a sales company who provisions the cartridge to the user with expiration date of the cartridge, and a location data 33, which indicates the location of the user, and determines, when the sales company provisions the cartridge to the user, which expiration date of the cartridge should be provided from the inventory of the cartridge held by the sales company based on the vendor inventory data 22 and the location data 33.

Abstract: A cartridge providing system includes a printer ejecting a liquid (recording material) supplied from a cartridge, and a server managing provision of the cartridge to users that use the printer. Based on user stock data of each of the users, the server determines whether an unused stock, which is a stock that remains unused for a first period or longer from a start of holding, is present in a stock of the cartridges held by each of the users. If it is determined that an unused stock is present in the stock held by a first user, when a period until a usage expiry date of the unused stock is less than a first threshold value, the server sets a collection recommendation flag to the unused stock in the user stock data of the first user, the collection recommendation flag indicating the cartridge recommended for collection.

Abstract: A cartridge providing system includes a printer ejecting, onto a printing medium, a liquid (recording material) supplied from a cartridge, and a server managing provision of the cartridge to a user that uses the printer. The server manages user stock data, which is data associating a stock of the cartridges held by the user with usage expiry dates thereof, and vendor stock data, which is data associating a stock of the cartridges held by a sales company providing the cartridge to the user with usage expiry dates thereof. When the sales company provides the cartridge to the user, the server determines, based on the vendor stock data and the user stock data, the cartridge of which usage expiry date is to be provided from among the stock of the cartridges held by the sales company.
