Cartridge World

Most awesome place! I feel bad that they are closing falling victim to online sales and increased rents. What is wrong with you people??? It’s $ 8.99/Cartridge!!! And if
sends you the wrong Cartridge or it has a problem in your printer, it’s going to take a minimum a week to come close to a solution. With CW, no problems and if there is one? Solved that day!

Great customer service and very nice owner. Been coming here for the last 3 years.
One tip: Always ask her why she keeps raising prices every year…(which is not true, its been kept the same for the last 3 years)…it will get her kind of mad but will make her smile. Tell her a Unilocaler told you to do it. Always nice to make a small-​business owner smile!

I have been buying print cartridge refills from this store for many years. The staff were always very customer centric, knowledgeable, honest, & professional. After I bought a new printer (Canon MX420), I tried cartridge refill service twice at a membership based warehouse. In both times, I had trouble with the print cartridges. To avoid these troubles, I went back to Cartridge World & problem solved. This store will continue to be my preferred place for cartridge refills. One time I brought in a Canon CL-​211XL cartridge for a refill. Dominique told me that the cartridge was only able to take in ink as a CL-​211 (smaller capacity) so she charged me for a CL-​211 refill instead. I really appreciate her honesty & integrity.

Excellent service! I needed wedding invites printed, and FedeX couldn’t handle my order because of the small sizes I needed. Dominique took a lot of trouble over this special size and got the job done. Very grateful to this place!

I always go to Cartridge World for refills on my printer cartridges. If you have a problem with your printer not printing clearly it is most likely that your ink jets are clogged and not the fault of the refilled cartridge. Always good friendly service there.

Always good and fast service here for ink cartridge refills

When my local Cartridge World shut down, I needed another one to refill my HP cartridges. I arrived 10 minutes before closing; the owner didn’t mind and didn’t try to hurry me out. I knew that some of my cartridges were empty and others had clogged nozzles. He weighted and separated them, then he cleaned the clogged ones and gave them back. I wanted to give him some business so I told him to fill the others. He recommended waiting until I needed them. Impressed with his service, I asked him if they could also fill my Epson cartridges. He couldn’t but he sent them out to a company that can. The refills were about ½ the price new. He didn’t make a dime off me, but he gained a new loyal customer. His store is a little out of my way, but for the service and products well worth the trip. Highly recommended.
Update: Jan 2016, due to increases in rent the owners are closing down the store and were letting their stock dwindle. Recommend you call to see if they are still open and if they have your cartridge in stock. Sorry to see them go.

Went there on a whim after seeing the price of replacement color laser cartridges for my Brother printer at Fry’s. Whoa — $ 68 each (and there is 4 of them). Wow — cost me nearly double for the cartridges than it cost me for the entire printer. Of course this is how Brother and other printer manufacturers really make their money.
I was able to obtain replacements for $ 42 each. A significant savings and they work just as well as the originals. I will definitely go back.

Love it! Getting cartridges refilled is 1) cheaper than buying a new one, and 2) less wasteful. I got 3 cartridges filled and they were ready in an hour. The employees were all friendly and professional. I’ll be back for sure!

This review is long over due, I have had them refill many cartrides over the years and has always had great service. So thank you.

I went to Cartridge World with high hopes. As a teacher, I print a lot. I was trying to find a more economical way for my school to buy ink so I decided to test Cartridge World by filling three cartridges from my home printer. When my fiancé went to pick them up he was shown a test page that was horrible — fuzzy text with lines of no ink. He was told it would «get better after a few pages». Unfortunately, it didn’t.
I tried two of the three cartridges (what’s the point of wasting the time to install the third) — one didn’t work at all and the other was of such poor quality it was useless. The text was still fuzzy and light.
We brought all three cartridges back. She was willing to give a refund (which I appreciated since I’d spent over $ 50 to fill the three) but insisted on keeping the cartridges. I asked if she was going to resell them and she said, «Maybe. I’ll see. Maybe I’ll just use them in my own printer.» What a scam! She was using MY cartridges either to sell to some other poor customer who (mis)places his or her trust in her or for her own personal use! I couldn’t believe it. However, she had our $ 50 hostage so we ended up leaving the cartridges.
Warning to whoever thinks of going to Cartridge World on Paseo Padre: based on my experience, they provide a horrible service!

Boy… talk about saving me in a jam. Dominique is the best. I had alot of copying to do but my cartridge ran dry. I went to Dominique at Cartridge World and she got me up and running within minutes. The service and knowledge is Top Notch ! I would not go anywhere else. Thanks Cartridge World !!

Once again with the new school year, my son needs to use the ink-​jet printer to do his school work. In the old days, I would use my typewriter to type the reports. It least my typewriter did not run out of ink when I needed it — the ribbon would turn to a lighter print but not run out.
Now, my sons printer runs out of ink — luckily for back-​up cartridges. Time to either buy new ones or refill the used ones. As long as the cartridges work I prefer not to buy and dispose of so much materials.
In need of a refill, I return to this store to have and cartridges serviced by the friendly and helpful staff. It is a small store near the home and the service is quick and a lot less compared to buying new ink cartridges. It works fine in the printer and I feel better not having to waste resources.
However, I do wish they could refill my ribbon for the old typewriter. It still works and has a lot of memories attached to it.

5 stars based on 2 reviews. Well let me be the black sheep and…
So I bought my ink from there guys and after printing about 10 pages the LOW INK warning came on my printer. Took it back… and they worked on it and got it back a few days later and same! Recurring problem. And that was it for me. I gave them a chance.
Whatever it was… whether my ink cartridge or their technical error. I have better things to kill my time on than to run around for my ink. Unfortunately I wont be going back here.
Lastly, I will give them this: The lady was polite and did give me a full refund.

I have been doing business with Dominique and Ron for over 2 years now, and Dominique has been a great resource for getting my printer cartridges refilled. I have never had a problem with one they have refilled, they have always worked, and are much cheaper than buying new, having saved a lot of money. She can also get drums for laser printers and photocopiers doen too, or oem replacements. She is also very knowledgeable about the combination fax/​copier/​scanner machines and can do minor repairs and cleanup on them, too. Who knew?

One of my ink jet cartridges went out on me. I took it here, since it was right next to my gym. I hand them the empty cartridge and they examine the make and number. They said they didn’t have one already filled but they were able to fill it within a day. I wasn’t in a rush so I pick it up the next day for about $ 17 including tax.
Pretty much pain-​free and easy transaction. Beats having to scour the aisles of a store trying to match the model numbers. And all by putting one less piece of plastic in landfill. Score!
