New labelling solution by Impression Technology proves to be a hit at IPEX 2010
Tuesday 01. June 2010 - Impression Technology Pty Ltd has generated a buzz after debuting the brand new inkjet label printer range "Rapid label Systems X1 and X2 models" at the IPEX 2010 exhibition in Birmingham U.K. The Impression Technology stand proved to be very popular with everyone in the industry wanting to see the revolutionary and much anticipated Memjet print engine technology integrated in the Rapid machine range.
“Perhaps not surprisingly, the interest for the Rapid machines came not only from traditional label printers, but equally from a far wider than expected audience. With fast print speeds and low cost of ownership, those who stopped by the booth recognised the easy ROI on the Rapid machines but also a better ROI on their larger machines by freeing up production space and creating flexibility within their organisations. Rapid Label machinery truly supplements and compliments commercial printers of any scale” quoted Mr Jerry Erich, Impression Technology sales manager.
Orders were taken at Ipex 2010 within the first hour of the opening day of the exhibition confirming that Rapid label printers do fill a void in todays customer demands.
Naturally Ipex attracted strong distribution requests from within Europe however, Ipex proofed itself to be a truly “global” exhibition with strong distribution requests also received from the middle east, Asia and the Americas.
Over the coming months the entire sales team at Impression Technology will be working to establish and setup a distribution channel for the Rapid Label machines in all continents. Interest has been very strong for distribution rights, certainly from within Europe, however interested parties looking to distribute Rapid machinery are urged to contact us by email or phone jerry@impressiontechnology.com +61299050420
