    About Island Ink-Jet Systems

    Retail Stores

    The Licensed Island Associate Program is an opportunity for you to download the non-revenue generating activities of your small business to the Associate group and gain a new partner that will contribute to the success of your business in a variety of ways also allowing you to focus your time where it should be focused- generating sales. Recycling is great, but Reusing is better. At Island Ink-Jet we believe in refilling and reusing cartridges whenever possible, before sending them for recycling and replacing them with a new one. Reusing an inkjet cartridge can save the energy and materials used in recycling it, decreasing the overall environmental impact of printing.

    Sales Agents

    Why open your own store, carry inventory, manage cash and billing? Becoming an Island Ink-Jet sales agent is like owning a business without any investment required and without having to manage any of the above! What could possibly be better?

    About Ink Re-Phill

    We're franchising our experience in the inkjet and toner cartridge recycling business. We don't refill cartridges, we simply sell more of them. That's the difference between us and the others in our field.
