Refill Tech

Been coming here exclusively for the refilling of our Canon MX-​452 all-​in-​1 printer unit for over 2 years now.
Printer ink cartridges are a ginormous rip-​off yet one finds themselves at the mercy of the manufacturers of said office equipment if they want to print their stuff.
So what does one do to not feed the corporate machine which overprices the required ink cartridges?
Well I use OEM whenever possible and then have them refilled at this joint. Savings for me on this Canon unit? Around $ 10 bucks at least by refilling verses buying the Cannon Brand.
Positives of this shop:
1. Same two dudes running and servicing it for over 2 years now. I like consistency and they have provided that.
2. Readily available OEM ink cartridges for purchase at less than going market rates in the event my own cartridge has died and is no longer refillable.
3. They are open 6 out of 7 days a week AND are lickety split in turnaround time from drop off to being able to pick up your refill.
4. Close proximity to my Casa. Located off of Arden Way with a Subway sandwich shop right next door and a KFC in same shopping complex.
Cons:
1. If you drop off your empty cartridge for refilling and don’t pick it back up within say a few days there’s no guarantee your going to get your cartridge back at all let it you may be given someone else’s cartridge as to date they refuse to take your name and phone number to identify your own stuff.
2. No customer database. To date there’s no computer or otherwise customer database to track your purchases or drop-​off refills.
Hence my suggestion to pick up your items (s) the same day or wait for them to be refilled on the spot.
3. I have to admit that I do wonder if what they are telling me is actually true about my dropped off cartridge being «dead» requiring me to buy a new one typically from them. I’m at their mercy as I have no clue which is why I’m here in the first place. Again, I have no proof of this but it’s happened enough times to make me contemplate the possibility.
Will continue to frequent this shop yet would like some competition with another shop so that I can actually compare the experience…

Excellent service. Match prices if you ask. Fast and efficient at what they do. Looks like a new place for me to get the toner and ink I need for my home and office.

Every time I come here, the service is fast, the workers are very polite, &the prices are great (aka cheap). I spent $ 9, versus the $ 25-​$ 40 i would have spent if i went to buy a whole new cartridge. They guy also was sure to inform me that my specific type of ink’s volume level can’t be detected by my computer after getting refilled, so it would say that i’m low on ink, even though i’m not; which it did. He said he was not sure why, but I am glad he did tell me that, or i would have been worried that my printer was broken lol.

This place is awesome. Brought in an empty cartridge, paid $ 11 and got a full one. The service is quick and professional. Don’t bother buying ink from anywhere else.

Not only do they do excellent refills (and take returns within a month, as long as you don’t use much of the ink), they give great free advice when you’re buying a printer, so call ‘em up when you’re trying to decide and they’ll help you figure out what’s good… and what’s refillable.

Cheapest prices for ink refills by far!!! I had called Office Max and another discount ink refill place on Fulton, and the difference in price was pretty significant. Office Max’s price would have been twice the price because they no longer do refills for my Cannon printer, only new. The other discount store was about $ 5-​$ 10 more. I needed black and a color refill. The total price for both was $ 26. I was given the option to wait while they refilled the cartridges, so I had a seat in the tiny lobby. Ten minutes later one of the 2 staff came out and rang me up and gave me little instruction on troubleshooting. Nice and efficient service, and did I mention, they’re the cheapest prices for ink refills by far!!!

I love Refill Tech.
They’re honest, quick, friendly and price their products very well.
What sets them apart is their genuine interest in their customers. Recently, when in the market for a new printer, the owner spent 10 minutes helping me decide which best fit my needs — and there was nothing in it for him.

I have a Samsung laser printer, which is not the most common brand and so more difficult to get toner refills. Stan at Refill Tech was great. He took the original equipment toner cartridge I had, and an after-​market high capacity cartridge that I had purchased and used up, and reassambled them into a blended cartridge with the high quality original equipment parts and the high capacity of the after-​market cartridge. It works great and the price was significantly less than I was quoted elsewhere. They will refill cartridges while you wait but I chose to leave it overnight and it was ready the next day as promised. Down with the toner robber barons! Up with Refill Tech!

The printer started running out of ink months ago and I was determined to get every last drop out of those damn cartridges! Why do new ink cartridges have to cost my first born child’s finger? I knew there was some kind of alternative out there and we found it at Refill Tech. I had seen the place on the corner of Arden and Bell St. but wondered if it was legit. I thought what the hell… I’ll try it. I walked in, the guy came up to the front counter, confirmed he could refill both of them and promptly walked to the back saying «Please have a seat and I’ll be right back.» No less than 5 mins later, he came back w/​my refilled cartridges all cleaned up, purty and in new packages. The cost… $ 25! Can’t beat that w/​a stick and you aren’t throwing away toxic ink cartridges into the landfill. I took the ink home, installed it and WABAM… printing like a dream again! Thanks dude at Refill Tech!
