Serges LaRiviere, President
Serges LaRiviere started in the manufacturing industry in 1974 and became a journeyman Tool & Die Maker after completing a four year apprenticeship program. He went on to start his own machine shop in 1980 called Delta Machine & Tool, Inc with his brother. He sold the company in 2004 after many successful years to pursue other business opportunities.
He founded Ink & Toner Solutions in 2006 as a startup and has brought his professionalism and deep understanding of manufacturing into this venture, which has served him well and has been instrumental in providing his customers with the highest quality ink and toner cartridges available. Ink & Toner Solutions offers individuals, businesses, schools and municipalities an eco-friendly alternative to the high priced ink and toner supplies on the market today by, recycling and re-manufacturing existing empty cores and thus helping to save the environment.
From a small startup offering mainly in-house refilled ink jets, the company has grown and now offers high grade ISO certified re-manufactured ink jet and toner cartridges, laser and inkjet printer repair, and computer repair at our downtown location, or at your location, and expert advice on buying your next printer. We also have a very attractive plan for businesses to help them keep their printers in top working condition - call us for details.

Ever since then, he has basked in the comforting, warm glow of computer screens as a freelance web developer, Social Media/Web 2.0 guru & teacher, and PC technician for many companies including his own business, Wicked Rebel Productions. He has an A.A. in Communications and has spent over 3 years training in Information Technologies as an apprentice. He has worked in retail and customer service for over 11 years and has won 12 awards for outstanding customer service in that time.If you have any problems with your computer or printer, Chris will start trying to fix the problem usually before you can get to ask him for help, because, well, he just loves fixing things. In his spare time he plays guitar, does stand-up comedy, hosts his own podcast, and is a volunteer producer at Northampton Community Television, as well as continuing to build websites for fun. He has very little spare time as a result :)
