Inkjet Factory – Inkjet Refill System

“The inkjet refilling business is a $10 billion dollar industry and is growing exponentially.”

"I researched this market for over a year and hands down the best equipment was the Inkjet Factory from SME. We filled 50 cartridges our first week and our business is thriving. My son purchased an IJF machine two months later and set-up his own store in Orlando, FL."
--Craig Jacobs, One Hour Ink, Chicago, IL

A Business with a Purpose
Every year hundreds of millions of empty inkjet and laser cartridges are thrown away in landfills around the country. However, most of these cartridges have considerable value and can be recycled or sold to remanufactures or brokers.

According to Charlie Brewer who edits the Hard Copy Supplies Journal, the world's inkjet printers are guzzling over $32 billion worth of ink this year. Retailers are selling high-quality remanufactured inkjet cartridges at 50% off of the retail price (of a new OEM cartridge) and still earning margins of over 80%. Lyra Research, a leading imaging industry market research firm, notes the worldwide aftermarket inkjet market share of the total inkjet cartridge market currently stands at 31 percent and is expected to grow to a remarkable 36 percent by 2010.

With roughly 50% of the US population never having before purchased an aftermarket cartridge, there is a huge burgeoning market for purchasing refilled cartridges.
