OfficeMax Reminds Everyone to Ink Responsibly

NAPERVILLE, Ill., Aug. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- OfficeMax® Incorporated (NYSE: OMX), a leader in office products and services, wants to remind everyone using a computer printer to ink responsibly and use the OfficeMax Ink Refill service available at all OfficeMax stores to refill their inkjet cartridges rather than discarding them. Since launching its ink refill services in 2005, OfficeMax has refilled more than 3.5 million printer ink cartridges saving customers as much as 50% of their normal ink cost and keeping tons of waste out of community landfills. Considering the reliable quality, affordability and benefit to environmental efforts, OfficeMax urges every printer user to visit their local OfficeMax store and try the ink refill option.

"The OfficeMax ink refill service is state of the art, examining the quality of the cartridge before refilling and then performing a quality test after the refilling," said Ryan Vero, executive vice president and chief merchandising officer for OfficeMax. "Anyone who has worried about quality or performance just hasn't tried our service. Once customers try it, they tend to become repeat users of the ink refill service."

OfficeMax offers its ink refill services at each and every OfficeMax retail location in the United States, including Puerto Rico, Alaska, Hawaii and Virgin Islands. OfficeMax provides a wide array of ink cartridge options, from the cost effective ink refill service through private label cartridges and national brand cartridges.
