2008 National Nicol Entrepreneurial Award Winner

Wilfrid Laurier University

Campus Ink
Chris Carmichael

I found the experience of the judging to be really useful. At the time I was excited about all these cool products I could import and sell to campus stores, but the judges advised me to zero in on one product and try to master that business. And I got a ton of press attention, and that really helped to build my credibility. — Chris Carmichael

When Chris Carmichael entered the Nicol competition, he was a second year Business student, paying his way through university by refilling printer ink cartridges from his dorm room. Before long, Chris had enlisted the help of half a dozen other students on campuses in Ontario and Quebec.

Campus Ink offers a low-cost printing solution based on remanufactured cartridges that provide up to 300 per cent more capacity than original cartridges using a unique, smudge-resistant ink.
