Inktec Zone America Opens Flagship Store: Company to Offer Environmentally Friendly, Low Cost Refills for Ink and Toner Cartridges

New Central Square, Cambridge location will also serve as InkTec Zone’s base for franchising across the U.S.

Cambridge, MA, March 24, 2005 – An astounding one million inkjet cartridges are thrown
away every day, adding 60,000 tons of empty ink jet cartridges to landfills each year. InkTec
Zone America Corp. hopes to reduce that number as it celebrates the grand opening of its
flagship store in Cambridge, MA today. Located in Central Square, InkTec Zone will offer
refilled and remanufactured printer cartridges for leading printer brands, at savings up to
50%.

The honorable Michael A. Sullivan, Mayor of Cambridge, will preside over a formal ribbon
cutting ceremony to mark the occasion at InkTec Zone’s Massachusetts Avenue location.
The ceremony will be held in conjunction with the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce.

“InkTec gives businesses and consumers in the metropolitan area an alternative to costly
printer cartridges. We provide a high quality and environmentally friendly alternative - with
significant price savings,” said InkTec Zone America CEO and President Bill McKenney.

InkTec Zone America Corp. was jointly founded by McKenney and InkTec Co., Ltd., a
publicly traded Korean company with a long history in the ink and toner market. The concept
of refilling ink and toner cartridges has already been proven through our efforts in Asia,”
explained CS Choi, Senior Director of InkTec Co. “Now we can offer U.S. consumers this
cheaper and more environmentally friendly alternative.” The U.S. market for ink and toner is
large - $4.15 billion in 2003 (Source: The NPD Group), but largely untapped.

InkTec Zone is launching its franchise development program simultaneously with the
opening of the flagship store. Led by Alfred Naddaff, this program looks to build InkTec Zone
stores throughout the U.S. Potential franchisees from Rhode Island, Florida, Texas, Virginia
and Maryland have expressed interest even before the program was fully launched.

Massachusetts, opened in March 2005 and also serves as the base for InkTec Zone’s

presence with retail storefronts across New England and throughout the U.S.
