Total Print Supplies claims success at Ipex

Total Print Supplies (TPS), the graphic consumables business of Paperlinx, said last month's Ipex was an "excellent platform" to demonstrate how paper merchants are well-positioned to supply pressroom consumables.

TPS offers pre-press products, blankets, press chemicals, inks and coatings to customers of Paperlinx operating companies PaperCo and Robert Horne Group. 

Steve Brading, Paperlinx business development director, said that TPS, which was launched in November 2009, had recieved a positive reception from visitors.

"They understand why the TPS concept makes sense," he said. "More than 300 printers are already seeing the benefits of bundling their paper with their litho consumables and, with our continued roll-out across the UK firmly in place, we are expecting to see more than 1,000 accounts by early 2011."

Brading added that a number of significant deals were finalised at the tradeshow – the first such event that TPS had exhibited at.

TPS offers products from a range of suppliers including Agfa, Trelleborg and Sun Chemical.
