Unlike drill-and-fill or injection refilling stations, Cartridge Depot provides products that meet or exceed OEM specifications. Each of our franchises uses our exclusive Ink 3000 refill technology, and we completely clean, inspect and restore each cartridge before it's refilled. This technology is certified by the ISO 9001 - the international gold standard of quality - and is used at over 5000 retail distribution points around the globe. Cartridge Depot is the exclusive North American distributor of this technology. That means you get a cartridge that works as well - or better - than the original, for a fraction of the cost.

And that's not all. Every time you recycle a cartridge, you make a difference to the health of our planet, and to your bottom line. Take a look:

• Recycling ink and toner cartridges could keep over 120 million tons of waste out of landfills each year.
• Refilled cartridges cost up to 50% less than new ones, but provide the same print quality.
• Cartridge Depot is the only vendor to utilize the Ink 3000 cartridge refill system and the Toner Workstation 3000 exclusively to clean, recondition and refill cartridges. These systems provide 100% guaranteed quality and performance for all Cartridge Depot products.
• At Cartridge Depot, all cartridges are inspected, old ink and toner are vacuumed out, and the cartridge is refilled with the highest quality ink or toner available on the market. This prevents mixing of incompatible inks and ensures quality. Unlike refillers who merely inject ink into an old cartridge, Cartridge Depot inspects and completely reconditions each cartridge for optimal performance.
• Cartridge Depot's boxes are made in part with recycled post-consumer waste to further reduce environmental impact.
