Own Your own Ink4Europe Cartridge Shop

What is the business all about?Over the past few years inkjet refilling has become one of the fastest growing businesses in the world. Why you may ask, well the spread of information technology into our everyday lives virtually every household now has access to or owns their own computer and printer. Our children’s schools are using the internet as a teaching tool; the students are researching projects and printing hundreds of pages of notes every day. This as well as a huge boom in digital cameras and home photo printing is mostly responsible. Just imagine how happy the people that come into your shop will be, knowing they are leaving with a very reasonably priced alternative to OEM ‘s costing sometimes double what your shop will charge.

Today recycling is as important to our future as the air that we breathe. For example did you know it takes over 3.4 litres of oil to make one laser toner cartridge? Did you know that this year alone there will be over 300,000,000 inkjet cartridges discarded in the USA and over 40,000,000 in the UK and over 2,000,000 in Ireland? How much more can our dumps hold? Nearly 40,000 tons of plastic is saved from dumps each year by recycling. So now is your chance to make some money and make a difference to the future of our Earth all at the same time.

Who is Ink4Europe?We are an e-tailer of compatible inkjet cartridges. We started our business in our Irish headquarters, in 2001. Originally we were The European branch of Ink4Art.com in the USA with a business start date of 1995. With over 10 years in the web-based sales of inkjets we are not the “new kids in town”. We decided to open a chain of franchise shops in Ireland and the UK. There will be 35 areas in Ireland and over 100 in the UK by the end of 2010. Each area will be run by a single franchisee that will have the option of opening more than one store in their area, if they so desire.

We use only state of the art machine technology to remanufacture inkjet cartridges and laser toners. We offer comprehensive training with constantly updated information and techniques as the market changes and new innovations become available. We like to see ourselves as a family, offering ongoing support. We have quarterly meetings with the franchisees to air concerns and share ideas.

What we offer?Once you make the decision to join us you will receive a protected territory, lease of all the machinery, and all supplies you need to open your shop immediately. Including artwork for signage, a supply of branded compatible cartridges, a supply of ink and parts for remanufacturing inkjets, manuals, and an advertisement on the website listing your shop location and contact details. You will be required to purchase all ink, compatible cartridges, specialty paper, peripherals and all your other supplies from us.

What do we expect from you?Professionalism! You are only as good as your last sale. If you keep a high level of proffesionalism, don’t cut corners and take your time, there is no reason why you cannot make a lot of money and have fun too. Appearances are everything; remember you represent Ink4Europe, a name synonymous with quality.Customer CourtesyWe at Ink4Europe know that our customers are the MOST important assets we have.

With inkjet cartridges it is different, virtually every shop, restaurant, estate agent, solicitor, etc. on the street will have a printer. Not to mention almost every home. Your customers could be anyone. There is no reason why you should not be able to do well in your area.
