CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA--- Each year Americans replace an estimated 60 million printers with new ones. Often those old printers could have had longer useful lives if they were properly maintained and cleaned. In today’s economic and environmental climate, investing a small amount to maximize the lifespan of an electronic appliance makes sense. Reducing landfill disposal and extending the life of business and home printers is at the heart of new service offered by Rapid Refill.
While all printers have an ultimate end of life, a well-maintained laser printer, for example, can double its productive life of problem-free service. Keeping that printer in use saves money for consumers and keeps possibly toxic materials out of landfills. Rapid Refill reminds its customers that when the time comes to dispose of a printer, take it to a recycler. Customers can check with their local Rapid Refill store for printer recycling resources near them.
For the price of a toner cartridge or so, a laser printer can be maintained to extend its life by double - meaning that we keep that out of the landfills and consumers save the cost of frequently purchasing a new printer.
Signs that your printer should be serviced include an increase in the noise it makes while printing (squeaking and grinding sounds), frequent paper jams and irregular print quality.
“Offering printer servicing fits in with our whole philosophy of rethink, reuse, recycle and reink,” says Jason Block, COO of Rapid Refill. “As with our core remanufactured cartridge and ink business, this printer repair and maintenance service is focused on doing right by the environment while saving customers money. It is what our company has always been about.”
Rapid Refill Ink is a U.S.-based retailer in the multi-billion dollar ink and toner industry with stores that use state-of-the-art technology and equipment to remanufacture cartridges. Overall savings on remanufactured cartridges can be up to 50 percent below those of original printer brand name cartridges.
