by Ronelle Ingram 

Ninestar Image Co. distribution center, located in Montclair, Calif., is part of the worldwide distribution network that provides over 1,000 printer supplies and consumable items, including the most popular compatibles for Hewlett Packard, Epson, Canon, Lexmark, Samsung, and Brother. The company’s wholesale distribution focuses on the sale of ink cartridges, laser toner cartridges, large-format ink cartridges, chip resetters, refill kits, photo paper, and remanufactured ink and laser cartridges.

Ninestar has achieved its ISO 9001 Certification for Quality Systems and ISO 14001 Environmental Systems Certificates and TUV Certification.

Ninestar concentrates on its own research and development, enabling the company to hold production-related patents on several items and ensuring the highest product quality in the field of printer-compatible consumable sales. Thanks to its strong technological advantage, Ninestar closely follows the most popular printer manufacturers’ new releases. Its global research and development department, staffed by over 100 professional and experienced engineers and technicians, is the key to its continuous improvement, which enables Ninestar to be first to market with a wide range of compatible products. Moreover, the dedication of its staff and research partners has enabled the company to develop and manufacture cartridges of its own design. Ninestar was the first to supply compatible cartridges for the C80.

The company has been awarded several independent patents, which allow it to be a leader in innovative technology. Ninestar constantly updates its products to meet its customers’ ongoing needs.

This product enables fluent print without the need for print head cleaning. It also increases the yield and the performance of Ninestar’s cartridges. It’s one of the most stable cartridges on the market today. Because of the self patent, there’s no infringing on any OEMs’ products. Ninestar also owns patents on compatible laser toner cartridge products, which enables the company to be extremely competitive in the global laser printer market.
