Walgreens customers now have a more cost-effective, environmentally-friendly alternative to replacing empty inkjet printer cartridges. Customers can bring their empty black or color cartridges to any of nearly 1,500 Walgreens photofinishing counters across the country and have them refilled in just a few minutes for half the cost of buying a new one.
Today, inkjet printers are more affordable than ever, but the high cost of replacement cartridges has many frustrated consumers seeking a more economical way to keep their printers flowing. The millions of pounds of waste that ink cartridges create each year also leaves environmentally-conscious consumers hunting for greener alternatives.
"The response to our ink cartridge refill service has been strong," said Walgreens photofinishing general merchandise manager John Sugrue. "Customers appreciate having a more convenient, affordable way to get back to their printing tasks without sacrificing quality. Once people realize the service is available at a nearby Walgreens, they quickly do the numbers. For small business owners, students or anyone who prints a lot of documents or web pages, the savings can add up fast."
Walgreens backs each refill with a 100 percent guarantee. The process is also quick and simple – Walgreens can refill most black or color inkjet cartridges in about 15 minutes. Go to Walgreens.com to find a location near you.
