Inkjet Factory System

The inkjet refilling systems by SME are revolutionary because they offer professional cartridge refilling at a fraction of the cost to buy brand new. The SME inkjet refilling systems were developed to remanufacture fresh cartridges that have the same print quality and page yield as a brand new cartridge, for use as the main production equipment in a stand-alone cartridge refilling business, or as an add-on to an existing business. Almost two decades of development and design have been implemented into the engineering, functionality and operation of the SME inkjet refilling systems which makes any of them a great production system for use in a home based, stand-alone retail business or as a phenomenal add-on profit center to an existing business.
