Cartridge World

We provide home and office printing solutions for consumers and businesses that need a convenient and economical way to keep their printers running. Our products and services include inkjet and laser cartridges, printers, and printer service and repair, along with other related supplies we may offer. We operate through fixed retail and office locations, and in some cases we also sell and deliver products directly to customer businesses on a wholesale basis. We serve both business-to-business and business-to-consumer customers who want practical support for printing needs. In some locations, we also use an office-based model that focuses on serving business customers with lower overhead than a traditional retail store.
