Ink Inc started operating in Feb 2000 by selling refill kits from a residential house and the Hatfield fleamarket. We soon realised that we had a good product and needed professional premises.
In June 2000 we moved in to 613 Walker Street, sharing the premises with Arlon Estate Agents and also registered the names "The Ink Place" and "Ink Inc". In November 2000 we opened our first shop in Centurion (Highlands Centre), it was the first retail shop that specialised only in printer cartridges in South Africa!
Today we have 4 branches in Pretoria , franchises nationwide and distributors in Namibia and Botswana. Our Head office has moved to the busy Duncan Street in Brooklyn.
We started importing the Inknara brand of refill kits and generics after a visit to the annual "Recharge Expo" in Las Vegas in 2002 where we carefully examined all the products available world wide. We decided on the Inknara brand because of the high quality, user friendliness and reasonable pricing structure. Another plus to importing is the fact that we have now cut out the middle man and passed on the savings to our clients, making us one of the most affordable printer consumable retailers in the country.
Over the years we have expanded our product variety to all sorts of printer consumables, including original cartridges, remanufactured inkjets and lasers, paper (speciality and normal) and the servicing and repair of printers.
We believe the reasons for our ongoing growth are our extensive knowledge of cartridges, our exceptional customer service, as well as our wide range of high quality cartridge products.
