Wollongong-based wide-format specialist Digital Graphics Solutions (DGS) has become the first export partner for AEG's wide-format inkjet products.
DGS managing director Peter de Maagd signed the deal after visiting the recent AEG Voyager Conference in the UK. “We’re very excited at the prospect of being the first export customer of Image Technology and its AEG brand,” said de Maagd. “Our visit to the UK event gave us a deeper understanding of the company’s vision, and included discussions about the opportunities in the Australian market. The AEG Voyager Pro did not disappoint and we knew straight away that this product range is capable of delivering exactly what is expected of this powerful brand. We were impressed by the exceptional engineering, top class build criteria and the high quality prints it was producing.”
AEG’s wide-format inkjet products have until now only been available in the UK.
“Our first event for potential global distribution partners held here in the UK was a resounding success and demonstrated that there is a universal appetite for reliable, high quality and versatile wide-format printers such as the AEG Voyagers,” said Karim Ladhu, CEO of Image Technology, the company responsible for all AEG printing equipment and supplies. “That DGS was the first past the winning post in terms of our international distribution agreements carries a slight irony, as they had the furthest distance to travel to the event. Even more so, it demonstrates our trust in DGS and its confidence in us and our products.”
DGS has more than two decades of experience in selling and servicing digital printing and cutting equipment. The company specialises in wide-format UV-curable, solvent-based and dye sublimation systems, direct-to-garment and textile solutions, sign-making cutters and a broad selection of software and consumables.
The AEG Voyager and Voyager Pro UV-curable series of combination wide-format systems offers roll-to-roll and flat-bed throughput, with versatility in its ink options to make them easily configurable according to user requirements. The base ink-set of CMYK can be enhanced with light cyan and light magenta, plus channels for white, metallic and clear varnish. Orange, green, violet and red can also be incorporated to broaden the achievable colour gamut. Both printer models are fully field-upgradeable, and modifications to enhance original ink-sets or increase the number of installed ink channels can be performed at the customer site.
DGS is exhibiting at Visual Impact Sydney on Stand VA14 in Hall 3, Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park 13 - 15 May 2015.
