work!

Work isn’t just about making money—it’s about showing up for the people you love.

At Just Ink Services, we’re in the printer cartridge business—but our real focus is on people.

Yes, we refill and sell ink and toner. But what drives us isn’t the transaction—it’s making sure your printer works when you need it most. Because we know the stress of a failing cartridge, and we treat every refill like it's going into our own machine.

We’re proud to offer refilled cartridges that cost half the price of new—without compromising on performance.

That’s how we support our customers, our community, and our family.

Friday at the Barr – Supporting Those Who Support Us

This Friday afternoon, we made a quick stop at Barr Plastics in Chilliwack to drop off some printer cartridges. It’s always a pleasure to serve local businesses that go out of their way to support ours.

At Just Ink Services, we’re grateful for customers like Barr Plastics who choose to work with local, family-run operations. Their support helps us grow, and we’re proud to return the favour however we can.

And in case you’re wondering — no, it’s not that kind of bar. 😄🍺🚫
Tanks a lot, Barr Plastics!

🖨️ History Lesson ⁣
In 1977, a happy accident sparked a printing revolution! ⁣
A Canon researcher accidentally touched an ink-filled syringe with a hot soldering iron 🔥—and a drop of ink shot out. That simple moment led to the invention of Bubble Jet technology... and eventually, the InkJet printer was born. 💡⁣
📚 Innovation can come from anywhere—even a mistake.⁣

Safety 1st

Are Refilled Cartridges Safe?

One of the most common questions we get at Just Ink Services is: “Are refilled cartridges safe to use?” The answer is yes — absolutely!

When done properly, a refilled cartridge can be just as reliable and effective as a brand-new one. The key is using high-quality ink and ensuring the cartridge is clean and well-maintained. At Just Ink, every cartridge we refill is thoroughly cleaned, inspected, and tested before it ever leaves our shop.

Not only can refills save you money, but they also help reduce waste and support more eco-friendly printing practices.

So if you’re looking for a smart, affordable, and sustainable alternative to buying new, refilling is a great choice.

liquid vs powder

Ink vs. Toner: What’s the Difference?

Ever wonder what sets ink and toner apart?

It’s simple:
🖨️ Ink is a liquid used in inkjet printers—perfect for home use and photo printing.
🖨️ Toner is a powder used in laser printers—ideal for office settings and high-volume printing.

Choosing the right one depends on your printer type and what you’re printing. Need help figuring it out? We’re happy to guide you.

They call me The Inkman. 🖨️🦸‍♂️

They call me The Inkman. 🖨️🦸‍♂️

Not because my name is hard to remember—
But because in the world of printing, ink is everything—and I’m the one who keeps it flowing.

Every day, I deliver toner and cartridges to local businesses that count on seamless printing.
Somewhere along the way, people stopped remembering my name…
But they never forget what I bring.

And honestly? I’m good with that.
In this business, your value is remembered more than your name.

Only the best.

Can I Use Third-Party or Refill Ink Cartridges?

Yes, you can—and many people do! Refilled or third-party ink cartridges are a great way to save money and reduce waste. But not all cartridges are created equal.

Some printers may show error messages or reject non-original cartridges altogether. That’s why it’s important to buy from a reliable source.

At Just Ink Services, we only sell cartridges that are equipped with current firmware-compatible chips, so they work smoothly with your printer—no frustrating warnings or failures to print.

If you're looking for quality, reliability, and honest service, we’ve got you covered.

Just Think… Just Ink

Why Printers Rock (And Why We Still Love What We Do After 25+ Years)

Printers ROCK!

Seriously—how amazing is it that we can copy, scan, print, and even fax right from our homes or businesses? A full in-house print shop at your fingertips. But let’s be honest—operating printers can get expensive.

That’s why Just Ink exists.

We recognized the gap: people needed a smarter, more affordable alternative to buying new cartridges every time. So we stepped up—and started offering refilled, cleaned, and tested cartridges at a fraction of the cost.

Was this always the dream job? Not exactly.
But it became something even better.

I love what I do. I love our team. And I love the service we provide to our amazing customers—many of whom we’ve been serving for over 25 years. Some days, I’m just driving around town, listening to music, and delivering cartridges to smiling faces. It’s hard to beat that kind of workday!

Even when I’m off the clock, I’m thinking about the business—how to make it better, more efficient, and more helpful for the people we serve.

And we do more than just refill ink.

We troubleshoot, offer guidance, and reduce stress when printers aren’t cooperating. We test every cartridge before it leaves our store to ensure top-quality results—often at half the price of new ones.

We’ve grown from a single idea into multiple storefronts across Abbotsford, Chilliwack, and Kelowna—plus, we now offer free shipping Canada-wide to business locations.

A Day in the Life of a Small Business Owner

What’s your daily routine as a business owner?

Running a small business means wearing many hats—and no two days are exactly the same. But over time, I’ve built a rhythm that keeps things moving smoothly and ensures our customers get the reliable service they’ve come to expect.

My day kicks off with a 7:00 AM drive to our first store location. I spend the first half-hour checking things over—making sure everything is clean, stocked, and ready to go. Then it’s time to prep the day’s deliveries. Between 8:30 and 9:30, I usually hit the road to deliver printer cartridges to our local customers.

At 10:00 AM, our second store opens. I head there to take care of any unfinished orders from the previous day, check emails, and process online orders from the website. Once things are caught up, the rest of the day becomes a mix of helping walk-in customers and working on marketing and projects that help the business grow.

Afternoons stay productive but balanced. I often return to tasks from the morning while making time for food and fitness—I’ve set up a small area in the back of the store with weights and cardio equipment. It’s a great way to reset my energy and stay healthy in the middle of a long workday.

As we approach closing time, I shift gears into prep mode: organizing inventory, restocking shelves, and planning for the next day. Our second store closes at 4:00 PM, which marks the beginning of final tasks—like making one last delivery, doing a supply run, swinging by the bank, or taking care of recycling.

It's a full day, but it's meaningful work. Serving the community, helping people save money, and building something sustainable—it's why I started this journey, and it's what keeps me going.

Buying & Choosing a Printer

What type of printer should I buy?

— inkjet or laser?

Inkjet is ideal for color/photo printing.

Laser is best for high-volume and fast black-and-white printing.

Here are the top three worst reasons why Instant Ink programs can be terrible:

1. Ink Stops Working If You Cancel

If you cancel your subscription, your Instant Ink cartridges stop working, even if they still have ink left. You're forced to buy new cartridges immediately.

2. You’re Locked Into a Monthly Fee

Even if you don’t print much, you still pay every month. If you don’t use all your allotted pages, you’re essentially wasting money.

3. Delays in Ink Delivery

The program promises automatic ink shipments, but delays happen. If your ink runs out before a new cartridge arrives, you’re stuck without a working printer.

These issues make it more frustrating than helpful!
