Free printer ink, anyone? Now that is certainly a far cry from what is often perceived as the norm – that ink can burn a hole in your purse or pocket (or wherever you decide to put your hard-earned cash in). For the patrons of the Weiss ACE Hardware Store in Glenview, Illinois, however, that is going to change – for a week, at least.
A press release on Fox Business announced that starting April 8 through April 14, Weiss ACE Hardware customers can avail of free ink cartridge refills. The promotion, “Free Ink Week”, is a collaboration between Weiss ACE Hardware and INK-O-DEM, described as “the worldwide leader in integrated inkjet cartridge refilling and testing technology for retail and university environments.”
For a week starting this Thursday, Weiss ACE Hardware patrons who have an empty inkjet cartridge can come into the store to get a refill for free. The promo is in response to an observed customer need as well as a growing trend among consumers towards environmentally-friendly practices, according to the press release.
Basically, it is being used by Weiss ACE Hardware as an opportunity for their customers to get a head start on green living by giving them the incentive of giving inkjet cartridge refilling a try. Those who are still contemplating about the pros and cons of cartridge refilling may now see for themselves what the process is like and how it affects their respective printers’ performance – and whether refilling is the correct option for their priorities and needs.
Weiss ACE Hardware is located at 1560 Waukegan Road in Glenview, Illinois
