MGI USA Announces Expansion of U.S. Dealer Network

February 26, 2009
MELBOURNE, Fla.—MGI USA, a manufacturer of multi-substrate (paper and plastic) digital press and finishing solutions, announced that they have added six new dealers to its U.S. network within recent months: The Oldham Group, Graphco, Paper Handling Solutions, Guaranteed Service & Supplies, Inc.

The six new MGI dealers cover territories including San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco, California; Ohio; Kentucky; Western Pennsylvania; Wisconsin; Illinois; Missouri; Georgia; Tennessee; North Carolina; and South Carolina.

The Oldham Group
Oldham Graphic Supply was established in Springfield, IL in 1951 with an initial focus on printing supplies. As the company grew, prepress, pressroom, and bindery equipment became increasingly important aspects of the business. Today, the Oldham Group offers its customers expert assistance with automated workflow solutions, digital asset management, CTP output devices, color proofing, color management, workstations, servers, networking, raid solutions and backup solutions.

Graphco
Graphco was formed in 1976 through the purchase of the Graphics Service Operation, a venture division of AM International. In the early 1980s Graphco formed the Technical Services Group and began the sales and service of
offset printing and bindery equipment. In the early 1990s Graphco established the DCPS (Digital Color Printing Solutions) approach by combining the best practices of CTP and highly automated offset presses. During the last decade Graphco has led the country in sales and technical service support for many major product lines including Ryobi, Sakurai, Standard/Horizon, Colter-Peterson and Mitsubishi Imaging. Today Graphco offers its latest evolution of the DCPS approach with the release of the MGI Meteor DP60 Pro and JETvarnish throughout the Ohio Valley at an Open House scheduled for April 21, 22, and 23 2009.

Paper Handling Solutions
Headquartered in Atlanta, GA, Paper  Handling Solutions celebrates seventeen years of providing full sales and service to the print, finishing and mailing industries of the Southeast. PHS is a fully established vendor in
