Chain Store Age: OfficeMax has implemented an ink-refill program that allows customers to replenish old computer printer cartridges rather than buying new ones. By fall 2006, the retailer is expected to install the kiosks at nearly 900 OfficeMax stores.

Refilling empty ink cartridges can save customers up to 50 percent, when compared to buying new cartridges.

The 8-foot-high, 200-pound kiosks, designed by London-based Cartucho, are exclusively created for OfficeMax stores. The program is already underway in nearly 50 Chicago-area stores and will be rolled out to others across the country throughout 2006.
