If you're concerned about the environment, here's one way you can make a difference: recycle your ink jet cartridges instead of throwing them away. Remanufactured ink cartridges reduce waste and the use of plastics and other chemicals that would otherwise be used to produce a new cartridge.It also prevents your used cartridge from ending up in a landfill or under-developed country.In the remanufacturing process, cartridges are thoroughly cleaned in and out and then filled with premium quality American Ink Jet inks.We have developed inks for this purpose since the 1980’s and always aim to match OEM ink quality.In addition to helping the environment, you save money by having your used cartridge refilled or exchanging it for a remanufactured cartridge.Typically a recycled ink cartridge sells for about half the cost of a new cartridge or less.Additionally, you are helping to support your local economy since most remanufactured ink cartridges are being produced by local, small businesses. American Ink Jet currently supports the recycling of ink jet cartridges in 2 ways.First, we manufactured an extensive line of high quality inks for Desktop printers.A desktop printer is a small printer typically used in your home or office.We then provide these inks to companies that offer remanufactured cartridges or a refilling service for desktop ink cartridges.Second, we have our own recycling program for Wide Format ink jet cartridges.Wide Format printers are used to produce a variety of different prints including signs in your local supermarket or liquor store, restaurant menus, signs, posers, photographs and fine art reproduction.You can purchase our recycled wide format ink cartridges by calling us at 978-670-9200 or through our Online Store.
