(TABS), a leader in digital imaging technology, have announced that GBC’s StreamPunchIII on-line punching system is now compatible with Toshiba’s newest digital color imaging solution series, the e-STUDIO 4500c/5500c. The StreamPunch III for e-STUDIO4500c/5500c solutions is designed to speed on-demand production and save labor in office environments.
