i-Sub set to expand
The i-Sub group has launched of a third company. Called i-Sub Digital Solutions, the aim of this new company is to assist companies in the digital wide-format and display sectors to extend and maximise the opportunities. To that end it will provide software from the likes of EFI that cover key business areas including costing, pre-flighting, remote estimating, e-commerce, workflow and production organisation.
Founded by three industry veterans with more than 50 years experience between them – Andy Spreag and Emma Plant from the existing i-Sub Company, and Dave Varty, former pan European account manager EFI and large-format sales manager at Agfa, i-Sub Digital Solutions will officially launch at the Sign and Digital UK show in April.
“The whole ethos of i-Sub Digital Solutions is about delivering true customer value rather than short term sales,” said Varty. “It’s about boosting profitability through astute buying decisions and ROI and offering tools that can develop, evolve and grow our customers’ businesses further. These tools move upstream from the conventional print and Rip environment.”
As part of its remit, i-Sub Digital Solutions is also set to look beyond print to emerging opportunities in the wider digital sector such as electronic advertising and innovative, new retail solutions.
Plant added: “We have seen for some time now that as the display market has become more digital it lends itself to many cross media opportunities. I-Sub Digital Solutions seeks to complement the existing printed display markets by sourcing and introducing new electronic display opportunities to enable our clients to develop additional revenue streams. These range from the simple static display items through to more complex electronic retail solutions”.
At Sign and Digital UK all three i-Sub companies will be represented. While i-Sub Digital Solutions will be focussing on efficient new software and electronic retail solutions, i-Sub will be showcasing its comprehensive range of hardware, consumables and ancillary equipment for dye-sublimation markets.
i-Sub Digital will be introducing the Agfa Essence UV PET materials, a fantastic range of alternative non-PVC materials for outdoor useage that is has newly begun to distribute. It will also be showcasing a number of popular wide-format printers from the likes of Agfa, Mimaki and HP as well as finishing equipment and the latest media offerings.
