Ever wondered how you can get on
bandwagon and start your own inkjet refilling business? Many people have but when it comes right down to it they don't know where to start. I have been asked this question so many times that my response is memorized. But I'm not going to give you my typical response here, I'll go one step better. I'm going to explain how to do it in a nutshell and send you in right direction to get you started.You can start doing this part time and if you want you can expand it into a full time business. My main remanufactured vendor started about 3 years ago refilling inkjet cartridges on their kitchen table. Today they are one of largest remanufactured inkjet cartridge vendors in US. Now that's growth! The popularity of remanufactured inkjets is increasing due to stubborn cartridge manufacturers who refuse to drop their prices. It's expected to grow by exponential rates in years to follow.
I can go on and on about potential of this business but there are some great books and courses available that I will tell you about later. I'll let them explain details. You'll have to invest in at least one or more of them if you want to be successful. Don't worry, they are not expensive and I have bought every one of them.
You wont need any special equipment at first beyond what you may already have. You will need some packaging material such as small boxes and print head sealing tape.
The first thing you will need is empty cartridges. There are a number of ways to get them. If you have a web site you can advertise there that you purchase empty inkjet cartridges. Offer a buck or two for each and pay for shipping. Before long you will have more cartridges than you know what to do with. Believe me, I know because I did just that and I had to stop because they were coming in too fast. I couldn't get anything else done. Heck, you can easily become a cartridge broker. Some refillers are paying up to $6.00 each for certain empties.
You can also start a cartridge drive at your local school. They are always looking for some way to make money for their clubs, sports, and organizations.
Another good place on net to find empties is empties.com. http://www.empties.com This is an empty cartridge auction site and anyone can bid.
Use your imagination. Large corporations are always recycling and they love to help out with environmental concerns. Locate one in your area and you could probably get tons of them for free.
