Duncan Jefferies, marketing manager at Hybrid Services, has this to say about the show: "At Hybrid Services - as Mimaki's exclusive distributor for the UK and Ireland - we ensure we are showing a representative selection of our product range that will mean the most to the visitors at the show. Sign and Digital UK 2009 gave us an excellent platform to introduce new Mimaki products to the industry, allowing visitors to see the latest digital printing and cutting hardware and software up close. We were impressed with the large number of visitors to the show who clearly appreciated the potential value of renewed investment in technology in helping them towards recovery from the recession."
