Columbus, Ohio – Computer specialty chain Micro Center has
selected Ink-O-Dem as its exclusive inkjet cartridge refilling supplier.
Under terms of the agreement, Chicago-based Ink-O-Dem will
support all 23 Micro Center showrooms nationwide with its flagship cartridge refilling system, which reportedly
provides OEM performance at half the price of new cartridges. The chain will
share in revenue generated by the refilling system, Ink-O-Dem said, while
benefitting from a minimal total cost of ownership.
“Our ability to provide broad cartridge support and a high-margin
revenue stream make quality, reliable inkjet cartridge refilling services a
natural extension of our retailers’ service offerings, said Ink-O-Dem CEO Harry
Nicodem.
Micro Center, a subsidiary of Micro Electronics, is one of the
nation’s largest computer specialty chains, with 36,000 products
in 12
specialized departments in each of its retail locations.
Ink-O-Dem, a subsidiary of 20-year-old TonerHead, refills over 5
million cartridges annually through the educational and retail channels,
including such chains as ACE Hardware, Walgreens and Hi-School Pharmacy. Its $10
black and $15 color cartridges are compatible with 95 percent of the integrated
inkjet cartridges available, the company said, and its refills helped save
consumers some $50 million last year.
