DC Metro Retailers Answer Consumer Demand for Earth-Friendly Ink Refills from Ink-O-Dem®

April 27, 2011 - PRLog -- Two DC metro ACE Hardware stores, and Ink-O-Dem, the leader in integrated inkjet cartridge refilling and testing solutions for retail and university environments, today announced an inkjet cartridge refilling service available to the public in DC and Takoma Park. Ink refilling is becoming more popular in the DC metro area, as Ink-O-Dem now has four area locations.

To encourage people to try inkjet refilling, ACE Hardware will begin offering ink refills at no charge from May 1 through May 7. People simply need to bring an empty inkjet cartridge into the store and drop it off at the counter for a complimentary refill while they shop. There are over 135 compatible cartridge types. Please check the listing at http://www.inkodem.com/news4.htm to see which cartridges can be filled. The two stores participating in this event are:

▪ Tenleytown ACE Hardware, 4500 Wisconsin Avenue NW, Washington, DC
▪ Old Takoma ACE Hardware, 7001 Carroll Avenue, Takoma Park, MD

Tom Price of Ink-O-Dem states, "We now have four locations in metro DC. Small businesses, students, moms―virtually anyone who uses a PC printer―can immediately realize the benefits of green living and the cost savings of inkjet refills. This is largely the reason we are doing so well in Maryland and DC, as more and more people learn about inkjet cartridge refilling and how it is superior in many ways to purchasing a new cartridge."

Statewide, Maryland and DC residents are "going green" and learning how inkjet refills are kind to their wallets more than ever. Ink-O-Dem inkjet refilling stations are also available in Maryland at Micro Center in Rockville and Strosniders Hardware in Bethesda.
