Our Team
Lena Andersson
President/Owner
Our expertise on compatibility of hard copy imaging supplies actually began in 1983. Lena began working in the ribbon industry for Aspen Ribbons in Boulder, CO, shortly after moving to the USA from her homeland of Sweden. Her personal attention to detail quickly moved her into the ‘lab’ doing research and maintaining the database for the AspenGuide. Lena’s work helped make AspenGuide the undisputed leader and many considered it to be the virtual Bible of cross-referencing in the industry. In the early 1990s, Lena joined Nukote and was actively involved in publishing the Encyclopedia of Imaging Supplies.

How TRI Resources Began
By 1998, technology allowed Lena to create a cross-reference guide on CD ROM, and thus TRI Resources International and the TRIguide were created. Toner, ribbons, and inkjets were the basis of this guide.
Just as Internet technology and the number of machines and supplies continue to grow rapidly, TRIguide continues to evolve. In 2003, TRIguideOnline went online. For this version of TRIguide, users just needed Internet access. Shortly thereafter TRI Resources was providing data stream to a multitude of websites for manufacturers, wholesalers, retail stores and dealers. TRI Resources has always offered custom services for the supplies industry.
