A Chicagoland hardware retailer is stamping a new green image for itself, while ensuring customers will flow into its store.

Weiss Ace Hardware, Glenview, Il., installed an inkjet cartridge refilling station for computer printers and kicked off the new service by staging a "Free Ink Week."

From April 8 to 14, the store invited customers to bring in their empty inkjet cartridges for a free refill. "After we installed Ink-O-Dem's Cartridge Refilling System, we wanted to give our customers an incentive to get started. Thus, Free Ink Week was born," said store manager Karen Kolod. "We are looking forward to serving our customers in yet another way that saves them money and is good for the environment."

The promotion allows consumers undecided about cartridge refilling to see for themselves what the process is like and how it affects their printers' performance.

Ink-O-Dem refills 5 million cartridges annually and is specifically targeting Ace Hardware stores, among others. Its technology is reportedly compatible with 95Va of the integrated inkjet cartridges on the market.

Weiss's decision to install the machinery was prompted by a consumer shift to greener product choices, such as discovering ways to keep discarded products out of landfills.

It doesn't hurt that customers will end up paying about half as much for their inkjet cartridges.
