Dedicated to Customer Service

Since 1993, The Printer Connection (TPC) has experienced substantial growth – over 20% in 2006 by offering compatible printer cartridges and equipment sales and service.

In preparation for this growth, TPC moved into its current 12,000-square foot headquarters eight years ago. This facility houses a showroom, corporate offices, manufacturing areas, a full service department, and warehouse. The company is currently working on obtaining ISO 9001:2000 Certification. With offices in Huntsville and Birmingham, TPC serves central and northern Alabama and southern Tennessee. A few of TPC’s many clients include Decatur General Hospital, SAIC, Dynetics, and Teledyne Brown.

TPC’s specialty is manufacturing PrintSMART® printer/copier/fax toner cartridges. Each cartridge is pre-tested and post-tested and fully guaranteed to meet or exceed OEM (nationally branded) cartridges at 35% to 50% savings. To date, the company has shipped almost a half million compatible cartridges and is the largest manufacturer in this industry in a four state area. "We’re all working together to constantly improve our processes to assure that our customers realize OEM performance in ‘real world’ printing applications. Our customers also enjoy the reduced costs," says Johnny Green, Production Manager. TPC also offers OEM supplies, provides free delivery/pick-up of cartridges, and purchases empty cartridges.

A leading industry magazine recently noted that more than 300 million printer cartridges are dumped into landfills every year, the equivalent weight of 30,500 African elephants. By recycling the outer plastic shell, PrintSMART® products help customers conserve energy and natural resources while reducing waste. "Many of our customers, both large and small, work with us to implement a print and supply strategy that saves them operating costs and reduces their environmental impact on the communities where we live, work and play," says Kevin Donley, Director of Business Development.

TPC is an Authorized Xerox Sales and Service Center and offers affordable leasing programs on its Phaser color printers, copiers, and multifunction machines. "Our association with Xerox Corporation is an important part of our future business model," says Craig Cheek, company President. Additionally, TPC is an Authorized Sales and Service Provider for Hewlett Packard, Okidata, Brother, Canon, Epson, and Samsung imaging systems.

The Printer Connection’s growth initiative is based on a strong industry trend toward Managed Print Services (MPS). Craig continues, "Customers have been accustomed to paying for copier supplies and maintenance on a cost per page basis. With today’s technology, entire printer networks can be managed in the same way by remotely monitoring printer error codes, supply status, etc." The PrintSMART® Advantage program is a Managed Print Services (MPS) program that maintains all imaging devices within a company’s network at substantial cost savings.

Martin Kunz (CIO, Operon Biotechnologies Inc.) says, "We are using The Printer Connection’s MPS program for critical documentation with great success. Outsourcing supplies/maintenance and support of our network printing needs to TPC allows our IT staff to focus on the growth needs of our core business."

"By outsourcing all their print and copy production supplies and maintenance to us, we improve our customers’ quality of life and save them money too," Director of Sales and Marketing, Tom Reynolds, concludes. "Let TPC put our experience and expertise to work for you!"
