What are the key issues
driving your business right now?
Environmental and economic concerns make this cartridge refilling service extremely appealing to the consumer. When a new ink cartridge can cost up to a third of the cost of the printer it goes in, that can get expensive for the consumer. By refilling their ink cartridges instead of buying new ones, customers realize a savings of 50% or better! They also are very happy they are supporting the environment by recycling their cartridges instead of contributing to the impact of a million cartridges that end up in landfills every day.
What are the advantages for retailers?
Our current customers are seeing increased foot traffic and increased average sales fed, in part, by the refill-while-you-shop advantage. This easy-to-operate machine can fill a cartridge in 2-6 minutes, while customers shop in the store. While the ink-refilling market is relatively new, it has a proven track record with highly successful national retailers. The low cost to the retailers in materials, training and square-foot investment translates to very high profit margins.
How does INK-O-DEM support retailers?
Professional training classes, training videos plus the user-friendly menus and help screens built right into the machine means employees will learn to operate INK-O-DEM quickly and efficiently. Dedicated service technicians provide rapid response when necessary. We have also developed effective advertising and pilot programs designed to quickly increase customer awareness.

With an onboard computer and touch screen operation, our product offers virtually foolproof operation. Our pre- and post-fill testing functions offer greater viability in every cartridge filled. The INK-O-DEM fills 95% of cartridges on the market today. Made in the USA, the INK-O-DEM machine is also upgradeable. Individual fill and test modules can be updated or replaced as new cartridges emerge. We are proud to have the largest installed base of automated retail environment inkjet refilling equipment in the world.
