Cartridge Industry

An Industry That’s In Demand

A slumping economy and the continuing spread of the Green movement is fueling customer demand for lower priced and eco-friendly aftermarket ink and toner cartridge alternatives.

Despite a slowing economy, printing continues to increase. This is not surprising when you consider America’s insatiable appetite for computers, digital cameras and other devices that make printing easier than ever before. More computers and digital devices mean more demand for affordable printers. As prices for printers continue to drop, demand for ink and toner goes up, up, up. We plan to capitalize on this demand.

The printing industry overall is vibrant, exciting and growing area of the global economy. Within this industry, aftermarket alternatives are well positioned for continued growth in marketshare. Rapid Refill is positioned to take advantage of these market trends.

Customers and businesses alike are looking for a service provider that can offer them exceptional value, convenience and service. Rapid Refill is perfectly positioned to meet their needs, whether through our Commercial Sales Program's franchisees and sales staff or through our convenient neighborhood retail locations, stocked with ready-to-sell inventory and a knowledgeable service staff.
