ICBA and Ink-O-Dem® Announce Partnership for Ink Refill Services

April 7, 2011 - PRLog -- Ashland, OR and Chicago, IL---The Independent College Bookstore Association (ICBA) and Ink-O-Dem, the leader in integrated inkjet cartridge refilling and testing technology for university and retail environments, today announced plans to bring affordable, eco-friendly inkjet cartridge refilling services to ICBA member stores. Representing a $1.5 billion market, ICBA will market Ink-O-Dem’s inkjet cartridge refilling service to all of its institutional member college stores.

Ink-O-Dem's Cartridge Refilling System is designed to provide students, alumni, faculty and campus neighbors access to convenient, eco-friendly, quality printer ink that is half the cost of a new OEM inkjet cartridge.

“Ink-O-Dem’s Cartridge Refilling System is quickly gaining traction in the university bookstore marketplace for good reason ─ it has no peer. ICBA is always striving to offer the best value to our member stores, so Ink-O-Dem is a natural addition to our programs,” said Marty Duncan, Program Manager at ICBA.  

“Ink-O-Dem is very excited about this new partnership with ICBA as it provides hundreds of students across the country unprecedented access to an affordable, sustainable ink refilling service,” said Frank Honold of Ink-O-Dem.
