Dear Printer Forum Readers,
My name is Andrea Alacchi, alias "TheTonerGuy" and I am very proud to have joined your forum. (Yes, Andrea is a man's name in Italy)
As co-owner of an inkjet and toner business, I have been looking for a place where I can post important information about refilling (especially Toner Refilling), share experiences with others and learn as well as contribute. Due to very limited time, I have never gotten round to it until now. Your forum has impressed me. People are asking very good questions and the level of quality information being contributed by the various members is very impressive. I feel that I can learn from this forum as much as I can contribute my own knowledge and experience.
I would now like to share a little of my personal background. I started working as a summer student in my uncle's drum recycling business in 1981 when Selenium Drum based Photocopiers were the norm. I graduated as an electrical engineer and worked in my field for 18 years. However, I always kept very close contact my uncle's business and with the remanufacturing industry in general. I am proud to say that I have never bought a cartridge for any of my printers! Yes, all cartridges can be refilled. Some may not be worth the trouble, but that's another story.
By 2001, my uncle's company had evolved into an Inkjet and Laser Remanufacturing business. I began to help them sell refill kits on eBay and my experience grew out of that. Our mission was to show people how they too can refill and reuse their cartridges and save a lot of money. In 2004, my wife (also an engineer) and I both embarked on a new adventure and officially started our own business based around our own brand of Inkjet and Toner Refill Kits. We have grown quite a bit since then but are still a 100% family owned and operated business.
I would be very happy to answer any questions you may have about refilling (esp Toner, my speciality). I will also contribute to any discussions where I believe I can make a positive contribution.
Lastly, I have also decided to contribute financially to your forum by becoming a sponser. Note the banner on the top right of the forum. Inkowl is my company's brand name. I have decided to share this information with the community in order to be upfront and honest. I hope no one will hold this against me and I promise to do my best to offer unbiased professional opinions in all my topics and contributions.
I look forward to your questions and the opportunity to contribute and learn from your community.
