Saturn Expands Inkjet Cartridge Refilling Service by Retail Inkjet Solutions

CARLSBAD, California, March 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Retail Inkjet Solutions (RIS) today announced that another store location of the German-based consumer electronics retail chain, Saturn, has recently begun offering the RIS inkjet cartridge refill service.  Based on strong sales growth from last year's initial offering at the Saturn location in Wuppertal, Germany, the Saturn Hilden store is now also offering the RIS industry-leading retail refill solution for inkjet cartridges.  Saturn customers at these two locations can now drop off their empty inkjet cartridges at the refill service area, and while shopping, a Saturn employee refills the cartridge on the RIS proprietary InkCenter® machine, resulting in a high-quality refill for a fraction of the price of buying a new replacement cartridge.

"We at RIS are thrilled to partner on a second location with Saturn.  Their management team is passionate about customers receiving exceptional value every time they walk through their doors.  As the prices of branded inkjet cartridges are continuously increasing, our refill service value proposition becomes even more compelling.  We are confident that ink cartridge refilling will serve Saturn customers extremely well and will continue to be introduced at other locations," said Vincent Hormovitis, Vice President Sales& Business Development at RIS.

"We need to have a strong service department to be able to succeed as an electronics store.  We are very satisfied with how well the RIS InkCenter combines our standard of quality with this service idea.  Refill quality and price is super - our customers love it!" declared Lars Biermann, Saturn Wuppertal Managing Director.

RIS Chief Executive Officer, David Lenny added, "Value for money and product quality are very important for consumers. The RIS-powered ink refill solution delivers that quality, much more affordably – and is good for the environment.  This opportunity to expand our footprint in Europe will be very complementary to the array of services and high level of satisfaction that Saturn's customers have come to expect."
