BURSCOUGH, UK - Quality Print Services (QPS) is looking for resellers in the wide-format printing sector, after securing UK distribution rights for the eco-friendly display material BioMedia.

It is now available under the generic name of 'BioMedia' with no connection to its former distributor Ilford Imaging, but with the same environmental benefits and high quality demanded by display producers.

Furthermore, a new pricing structure means the range is even more affordable, offering a highly competitive alternative to traditional display films and media.

QPS has already agreed a major order for BioMedia with a new reseller and is looking for more businesses to join its network.

"We're delighted that we will be at the forefront of BioMedia's distribution in the UK and looking forward to welcoming more resellers to join us in supplying it to the industry," says Chris Bailey, Director, QPS.

"BioMedia ticks all the boxes for consumables suppliers looking to expand their offering: a high-quality, versatile substrate suitable for a wide range of signage and graphics applications and easily disposed off at the end of its life by the customer.

"Moreover, it offers real benefits to sign and display businesses by helping them reduce both their ecological footprint and their costs – as well as its very favourable price point, recycling BioMedia will cut landfill expenses, currently costing £64 per tonne."

As well as being fully recyclable, BioMedia is biodegradable thanks to a unique enzyme that thrives under anaerobic landfill conditions and accelerates breakdown, meeting the standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials. Alternatively, it can be safely incinerated for energy production without the release of harmful gases or chemicals. Sign and display businesses already using BioMedia have found it can help them achieve ISO 14001 certification and meet other sustainability targets.

QPS currently stocks the matte-finish BioMedia Display Film for exhibition panels, pop-up displays and posters, which is compatible with aqueous, eco-solvent and latex ink technology and available in four roll widths and three thicknesses. There is also an option for UV printers, BioMedia Display Film UV, sold in a matte finish in two widths and three thicknesses. Other options will be available from QPS soon.

Chris and his team will be demonstrating the potential of BioMedia with Nazdar digital inks at Sign and Digital UK from April 29th to May 1st 2014. To book a meeting, please email[email protected] or call 01704 897575. For more information on QPS, please visit www.qualityprintservices.com.
