Colour Confidence is what we are all about, said managing director Geoffrey Clements.

He added the move was in advance of the firm expanding to cover the continental European market.

It is set to handle the sales and distribution for a leading imaging firms colour products across Europe from the first quarter of 2004 and is in the process of recruiting staff with European languages in preparation.

The company is now operating under the Colour Confidence name for everything apart from its historical ceramics business, where it continues to trade under the TypeMaker name.
