OUR COMPANY
Choosing the best printing solution for a business can be complicated and time-consuming. With Cartridge Ink Quad Cities, it is not. We’re experts in office equipment and delivering customized options for demanding print environments across diverse industries.
Committed to Environmentally Responsible Quality Since 2004
For the past 15 years, we’ve helped businesses reduce waste and increase their productivity through innovative, flexible printing solutions. We’re not here to simply sell printers and toner cartridges through a rip-and-replace routine. Instead, we take the time to find optimal strategies which work with our clients existing infrastructure, anticipated needs, and the direction of a company’s growth. We’re here to support the growth and success of our clients.
Locally Owned and Operated
Flexible Approach
Not all businesses are created the same. Therefore, one-size-fits-all approaches simply have no place in office technology solutions. Cartridge Ink offers the full breadth of printing solutions such as supplies, networking, equipment, managed services, and so much more. We use a brand-agnostic approach, leveraging our relationships with multiple manufacturers, to deliver the flexibility that today’s businesses need to operate effectively.
Simple and Cost-Effective
A streamlined printing environment drives productivity and reduces operating expenses – two critical elements of remaining competitive in today’s economy. Our goal is to make printing simple and affordable no matter how specialized or demanding the print environment is. We make sure our clients stay focused on managing their business and not their printers.
Good for Business and the Earth
At Cartridge Ink, we invest in the world around us as much as we do our customers. It’s why we’ve committed to green initiatives from the start. We’ve recycled millions of cartridge shells which has helped our clients reduce their carbon footprints. Our efforts help to keep waste out of our rivers, oceans, and landfills. You can calculate the exact amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere that can be prevented by recycling your ink and toner cartridges here.
