(OTC BB: BYTE), an innovator in data compression technology and workflow solutions, today announced an agreement with Typetec Ltd., a graphic arts solutions provider, to sell Piranha software throughout the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Typetec supplies a comprehensive range of digital imaging solutions to the graphic arts sector in Ireland.

This agreement with Piranha allows us to realize that vision." "As we have built the network of dealers who are selling Piranha products across Europe, we have looked for aggressive marketing teams that supply their customers with innovative solutions," said Alan Fairnington, Piranha's director of international business and managing director of its London operation. "Typetec certainly has established itself as that type of company and will play a key role in Piranha's international sales efforts."
