May 
2009Emeryville, Calif. – Cartridge World, the world’s fastest growing
ink and toner refilling retailer, has announced the appointment of
internationally respected imaging executive Mark Pinner as the
company’s Chief Technical Officer.

Pinner brings to Cartridge
World his nearly 20 years of experience in the imaging industry,
including high-level positions with Fuji (UK) Limited, Alphastream
International Ltd., and OCP GmbH, as well as launching his own
consultancy firm that provided technical and practical advice to a
variety of ink fillers worldwide.In his new role at Cartridge World,
Pinner will oversee the scientific and technical issues associated with
being the world’s leading company and franchisor in the $80 billion
printer cartridge industry.”The refilling and remanufacturing of ink
and toner cartridges is where the industry is headed,” said Pinner.
“Consumers are making the change to refilling ink cartridges instead of
always buying new for environmental reasons, as well as a way to save
money on ink costs. I am proud to do my part in ensuring that Cartridge
World continues to set new standards in terms of quality and service
for ink and toner refilling.”

Pinner’s belief that ink refilling
is on the rise is well-documented. As most retailers were feeling the
strain of the recession in 2008, Cartridge World was the exception,

over 2007. Cartridge World currently boasts more than 1,700 franchised
retail locations in 61 countries.”The hiring of Pinner is testimony to
Cartridge World’s continued growth and mission of bringing ink

specializing in the imaging industry, Cartridge World has become
synonymous with quality ink refilling, and as a company that provides
an easy solution for the average consumer or business owner to save
