The Holmberg Co., Inc. announces that Transeo Media has become the exclusive distributor of Mazina Hinged PhotoPages for the United Kingdom and Ireland.

The Mazina Media product line includes digital photo papers for press-printed books with a unique FlexBind hinge that is integrated into the sheet. Printers benefit from this exclusive technology that adds no thickness to the page, resulting in trouble-free production. The printer simply fills the paper drawer and prints. FlexBind technology is not a binding method or a cover. The unique media product is compatible with many digital presses, covers and various binding equipment. Extended sheet sizes allow for full-bleed printing and trimming.

Along with offering true lay-flat books, digital printers and photo labs have the added ability to produce panoramic image spreads with confidence, knowing the integrity of the image will be preserved and presented in a stunning format.

Says Neil Bather, Managing Director, Transeo Media: "There has been a huge growth in the photo book market over the past few years as printers and photo labs look to offer more high-margin and diverse products to clients.  However, more printers are recognising that success in this market is not just about using a quality digital press, it's also about delivering a product with the necessary 'wow' factor which promotes customer loyalty and preserves margin. We have been looking for a product to complement the successful Taopix Photobook platform and Mazina Hinged PhotoPaper with FlexBind Technology is a perfect fit. We have some stunning photo book samples which have been produced using Mazina media and these will be on show on the TaopixTM stand at IPEX."

John Thompson, National Account Manager for Holmberg Co concludes "We are looking forward to replicating in the UK the same success we have had with Mazina media in the US. Transeo Media is an ideal partner as it's Taopix Photobook solution is the industry leader in the lucrative UK photo book market and Transeo Media already has an impressive list of clients and prospects who would see huge benefits in adopting our product."
