LumeJet announce German distributor and country manager(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Coventry -- LumeJet made a clear statement of its growth strategy this week with the appointment of a Country Manager and its first distributor for the German market. The company announced the addition of Volker Josel, as Country Manager, to develop its dealer network and sales across Germany. Josel comes to the post with over 20 years experience of marketing technology into the German market and a background in the photographic industry. This is such an exciting opportunity to work with a new disruptive print technology, said Josel. The LumeJet S200 and its underlying technology are hugely innovative and offers printers the opportunity of opening up an entirely new market sector of ultra-high quality document printing. I think this will find a natural home in the demanding German print market. At the same time LumeJet also unveiled K&R Grafischer Fachhandel GmbH as its first distributor in Germany. The company is based in Garbsen, near Hannover and it will handle the sales and servicing of all LumeJet S200s in the North of Germany. The joint announcement follows the delivery of the fifth LumeJet S200 printer to UK clients and marks a new phase in the growth of the company as it looks to establish itself in the important German market Commenting on the joint announcement Miles Bentley, LumeJets Commercial Director said; We see the German market as probably the most relevant to our future development outside the UK and the appointment of K&R and Volker Josel is an important step in helping us grow there. While K&R is definitely our first German dealership we are also actively looking for further distributors to cover the whole of the market. The Lumejet photonic print technology provides ultra-high-quality output in the Lumejet S200 printer. The S200 takes 305 mm photographic roll paper for page sizes up to A3 landscape double-page spread, full bleed, including trim (1000 x 305 mm maximum) ideal for layflat books. Using RGB colourspace, its ICC profiled and achieves amazing colour fidelity, including hard-to-print Pantone spot colours like Reflex Blue, neons, metallics and pastels, not to mention flawless solid black. The LumeJet technology has been designed from the ground up to exploit the proven, continuous tone quality of Silver Halide (AgX) media and its extended RGB colour gamut. This produces vibrant, smooth and colour accurate images. It also exploits the inherent micron-sized (1/1000th mm) grain resolution of the media for ultra-sharp text and graphics.
