A message from the
President of inkTone.
Congratulations! Choosing to own your own business, with the benefits and support of a national brand behind you; makes franchising a smart decision. You are looking at the right industry, at the right time, with the right franchise company.
Look at the marketplace.
- Americans currently print more than 3.5 trillion pages annually using desktop printers.
- Virtually every business has one or more printers in the office and over half the households in the U.S. have their own printers.
- Nearly 600 million inkjet and toner cartridges were shipped in 2004.
- The market is $54 billion strong and growing at better than 12% a year.

Look at the opportunity.
- Consumers are generally unaware that this high quality, reasonably priced alternative exists. However access to inkTone retail locations will change this in the future.
- Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) have used this to their advantage to capture a 71% share of this highly profitable market; however more consumers are becoming aware of cost saving options like refilling.
- Advances in remanufacturing, ink formulations and refilling methods have created an aftermarket of cartridges that have all the quality and dependable performance of OEM cartridges, at a fraction of the price

The power behind inkTone.
inkTone has been developed by Franchise Services, Inc. (FSI) a Mission Viejo, California based franchise management company. For over 38 years, executives at FSI have managed highly respected franchise brands such as KOA Kampgrounds, Sir Speedy and PIP Printing, helping each become an industry leader.
FSI recognized there was huge potential in the inkjet and toner cartridge market. The capability to offer a quality product at great savings and provide an environmental benefit is an unbeatable combination. With relatively few competitors in this space, FSI saw an opportunity to capitalize on its professional management skills and knowledge of the small & medium size business market. With expertise in sales, business operations, market development and franchisee support, FSI is creating a powerful new brand, inkTone.
FSI is quickly making inkTone a highly desirable franchise and a growing presence in America’s inkjet and toner marketplace.
