INSTAFILL Launches Green Cartridges

First of its kind professional online service for printer toner refilling, INSTAFILL a start up venture which represented and promoted a UK based brand of ribbons for dot matrix printers providing original and aftermarket imaging solutions for users of dot matrix, inkjet and laser printers.

In a country where inkjet cartridge fillers sit on every street corner, it’s not easy to convince customers they should have to pay more even though remanufacturing promises consumers a better quality cartridge and an environmentally responsible solution as well.

“At first, we had no knowledge of inkjets and toners. We took it upon ourselves to travel the world, attend trade shows, and attain technical knowledge by training with the best of the best. We also availed ourselves of the best that technology had to offer” said, Samir Parekh, Founder, INSTAFILL.

Company claims that INSTAFILL is the first remanufacturer in India to attain STMC certification by the International Imaging Technology Council (I-ITC) in 2009.

Harish Lalwani, CO-Founder, INSTAFILL informed The DQ Week, “The credit for our fully pretested and post tested remanufacturing kiosk goes to Dr. Wolfagang Reick at TB Accessories in Sao Paulo”. We both were trained how to fully pre-check and post check inkjet ink cartridges using the best, up-to-date testing and filling equipment available.

Lalwani added, “The concept so impressed us, that on our return to India, the very first thing we did was to customize a similar set up to suit Indian sensitivities.” They built a large glass panel into the wall of their remanufacturing space. On one side, the customer could comfortably view what was being done to his or her cartridge on the other side.
