LR Graphic Supply, with locations in Montreal and Mississauga, has been named a dealer, responsible for all sales and service, of Xeikon digital colour presses and basysPrint computer-to-plate systems in Canada. There will no longer be any direct sales or service in Canada for these products from the manufacturer.
Both product lines are a division of Belgium-based Punch Graphix.
"We have always considered Xeikon and basysPrint to be leaders in the digital colour printing and CtP technologies, respectively," said Guy Potvin, vice president sales and business development with LR Graphic Supply. "Through this partnership, we will be able to maximize our customers’ digital colour and CtP investments and provide them with the products and services needed to take their business to new heights."
"The partnership with LR Graphic Supply will enable us to provide our customers with exceptional levels of support and access to superior service," said Bram Bourgeois, president and CEO of Punch Graphix Americas. "I am confident that through this strategic step forward, we will continue to provide value to the graphic arts industry and support the growing digital print and CtP markets in Canada."
