R-Jet Tek Celebrates 15 Year Anniversary

(Colorado Springs, CO) October 8 , 2004 –R-jet Tek, the Colorado Springs-based leader in inkjet remanufacturing technology is celebrating its 15th anniversary in business this month.

Founded in 1989 by Ernest Johnson originally as Ribbon Jet Tek. Johnson developed a process for re-inking the ribbon cartridge for his ribbon printer. Realizing the opportunity for remanufacturing cartridges for the growing inkjet printer industry, he committed himself to refining systems and processes to address this high volume market. His innovations in ribbon technologies have passed with ribbon printing itself, but many of his designs for inkjet are still being used today. The company was passed to son Steve Johnson in 1996, who still provides the vision for the company as Chief Technology Officer. Steve renamed the company to R-Jet Tek to reflect the company’s leadership role in the newer technology. Since 1995 R-Jet Tek has been design and building innovative machines and accessories for inkjet cartridge remanufacturing, as well as pioneering processes and techniques to enhance the profitability of its customers. The company now considers itself a OneSource resource for everything needed for inkjet cartridge remanufacturing. From machines, supplies through complete systems, the catalog is complete and comprehensive and the R-Jet Tek website is a powerful information resource for the industry.

Reflecting on the company’s history Steve Johnson notes, “Like the industry we serve, we are evolving as a company. We are committed to constantly monitoring the feedback from our customers to respond with innovative solutions to improve their bottom lines. We are very grateful to our customers for helping us earn the status as industry leaders and are dedicated to the responsibility that comes with our leadership role.”
