Refill Your Cartridges at Printing Services
UNH Printing Services now offers a cartridge refilling service for both inkjet and laser printers. This can save up to 50 percent on the cost of a new cartridge, and keep the “empties” out of the trash. Because the refill process usually takes a day, Printing Services will inventory refills of the more commonly used cartridges. Outright purchases of a refilled cartridge may be made at anytime. All refills are 100 percent guaranteed to work. Our primary distribution point will be the MUB Copy Center located on level 2 east of the MUB but we will make pick-ups at any campus office. For more information, call 2-0530.  (03-1-06)
