North Canton, Ohio, February 1, 2008
Mr. Roger Ilgen, Vice President and General Manager of GEI WideFormat, a Visual Edge Technology Company, announced today that they have entered into a strategic agreement with Techsage ApS, an international manufacturer of digital imaging products headquartered in Denmark. GEI immediately becomes the master distributor of the Techsage SpinJet line of double-sided printing accessories, SpinPaper media and SpinFlow software for all of North America.
"We are extremely pleased to appoint GEI WideFormat to this critical role in growing our imposition proofing business as well as giving them the exclusive responsibility to launch our innovative SpinJet solutions for the double-sided signage market," said Erik Kasper, Techsage Director. "We've enjoyed and experienced a tremendous professional relationship for over five years as GEI serviced and supported Techsage products in the USA and Canada. We're excited to expand our alliance with GEI WideFormat and now utilize their integrated marketing expertise and broad-reaching, highly experienced sales organization to grow our SpinJet business."
"Being selected as the sales, service and marketing partner of such an innovative, world-class manufacturer as Techsage is a great honor and we are eager to begin delivering these outstanding products, superior service and professional support to all existing customers and new accounts," said Mr. Ilgen. "The proofing industry is well-aware of the spectacular quality and attention to detail that Techsage delivers and now the signage industry will experience the valuable and productive advantages of SpinJet as the double-sided printing solution. We'll be featuring the Techsage SpinJet in our booth at ISA SignExpo."
SpinJet is an add-on device that is presently customized for several Hewlett-Packard DesignJet large format printers which enables fully automatic roll-to-sheet double-sided imposition proofing and double-sided printing of banners, signs and posters. It is the only product of its kind currently available for any printer and dramatically reduces production time and materials cost.
