Posted on: Monday, 7 April 2008, 09:01 CDT

American TonerServ Corp. (OTCBB: ASVP) ("ATS"), a strategic consolidator in the more than $6.0 billion highly fragmented independent segment of the printer supplies and services industry, announced today that it has entered the second year of a five-year supply agreement with Axon Technologies, Inc. ("Axon"), a supplier to Florida's state government agencies. Axon is a Florida based not-for-profit organization offering quality products and services with the mission of providing meaningful employment for Florida citizens with disabilities.

Under the agreement, ATS supplies compatible toner cartridges, which Axon processes, packages and delivers to its customers, primarily governmental agencies within the State of Florida.

Axon is a state-mandated vendor to state agencies providing approximately $2 million in product and services annually, of which approximately 50% is related to printers.

"We are proud to announce the first anniversary of this agreement, which has met the objectives of producing meaningful revenue for ATS while supporting Axon's good work in Florida. Further, working closely with Axon over the past year has exposed additional opportunities for ATS in the future. As part of our strategic plan to expand our customer base, our goal is to align ATS with well established, highly reputable companies like Axon with whom to build long-term, successful relationships," said Dan Brinker, chief executive officer of ATS.
