LaGrange, IL, August 22, 2002 -- GRIPdigital - the exclusive distributor in North and South America for the Centurfax Digital DotMeter product line˜has announced a comprehensive lease program which enables printers to improve cash flow while acquiring powerful new prepress and pressroom accessories. According to GRIPdigital president Greg Imhoff, “Printers today must improve their print quality while preserving cash in every possible way. The GRIPdigital lease program available through graphic arts dealers across North America enables printers to ensure their quality immediately. With the GRIPdigital lease program, printers or trade service organizations can stretch their purchase over 36 months, and then buy out the lease for $1 at the end of the lease term. Rather than take one amount from an operating budget, managers can budget for a monthly operating expense, and ultimately own the instrument outright.” Far more accurate and robust than conventional densitometers, yet easier to use, Centurfax Digital DotMeters are the standard for plate calibration. The consistency and repeatability of the devices make them popular with press operators as well as in the prepress area. The Centurfax Digital DotMeter can read both conventional and stochastic dot values, in addition to ink and film densities, and is the preferred portable plate reader in the industry. GRIPdigital is the exclusive distributor in North and South America for the Centurfax Digital DotMeter product line and for Ugra products. Headed by color expert Greg Imhoff, the company specializes in color hardware and software solutions for the graphic arts industry.
