Mick Rowan’s non-stop campaign to expand the printIQ software business in the USA got a major lift with an invitation to sponsor and present at the ReproMax conference in Honolulu.
The invite was extended following the sale of the printIQ workflow system to printer Beeline and Blue out of Des Moines, Iowa, a deal made off the back of the earlier sale to Chicago-based digital printer Cushing. Both companies are members of the ReproMax group.
According to Rowan, the printers at the conference were very interested in printIQ's offering. “We made lots of good contacts and I’m sure we’ll do more business with them,” he said.
Beeline and Blue owner Steven Strooh was pleased to follow the recommendation of his ReproMax partner, Cushing, in making the switch to PrintIQ. It illustrates the value of recommendations made within the well-regarded group.
ReproMax is a network of independent digital print service providers (PSPs) in the USA. It is designed to provide information, technology and a community where PSPs can use the skills and advice of other like-minded companies to grow their business. Partner companies have access to the knowledge and capabilities of other printing companies across the globe.
“After signing both Cushing and Beeline and Blue, we were then invited to the ReproMAX conference in Honolulu for a three-day event. The ReproMAX partners share the common belief that companies can become more effective, successful and profitable by pooling their knowledge and resources. It’s a very successful network,” said Rowan.
The latest signing vindicates his determination to carry the printIQ technology message to the wider world. The peripatetic Queenslander regards the US printing industry as a natural market for the company’s workflow technology.
