Auckland design and marketing business Design Print Partners has returned from drupa with a deal for the latest document editing software from CHILI publish.
Bill McSherry, MD, Design Print Partners, first saw the new CHILI publisher version 5 a few months ago during a pre-drupa road show coordinated by Oceania distributer Workflowz.
Design Print, which began as a print and packaging consultancy and has grown to cover all aspects of retail marketing, signed the deal on the last day of the drupa trade show in Düsseldorf.
“We welcome another company to the growing CHILI family and it’s great to finish the last day of drupa agreeing on this deal," said Alan Dixon, CEO of Workflowz. "It’s exciting to work with Digital Print Partners to deliver the best online experience for document editing and visualisation to their customers.
“Drupa provided a great platform to showcase the upcoming release of CHILI publisher version 5, and it was great to be able to show Bill and Chris what is coming along in the next version. This emphasised that the CHILI team are still innovating and pushing the boundaries of what is possible to create, edit and view online which I’m sure was also part of Design Print and Partners' decision-making process.”
Design Print is a privately-owned business based at Onehunga in Auckland, with a staff of about 25.
Belgium-based CHILI publish is a global software company focused on the development and deployment of online software for the graphic arts industry.
