 The Year is Almost Over.
It's Time To Make A Move.
We are nearing that critical date...
October 31. Halloween.
There was a time this fun, costume filled holiday was about parties and candy. Alas, adulthood sets in and it's now a deadline for making serious decisions.
In this fast-paced industry of ours this is the final countdown.
Shows are over, all the new products have been introduced and buyers are making decisions.
Equipment must be installed before the end of the year to take advantage of Section 179 tax deductions.
Financing companies are maxed out trying to move money through banks.
Manufacturers make a final push to get product built, shipped and installed before end of year.
We're busy. It's a crazy time of year. If you have some decisions to make please call us right away so that we can help you stay informed, meet goals and make deadlines.

A Few Updates On These Deadlines
Zünd Cutters
The Zünd Digital Flatbed Cutter line always keep us busy at the end of the year. They are easy to cost justify to the bank, and help you save time and money immediately.
Flatbed cutters are hard to come by at this time of year. They are extremely tight on production time frames and are requiring a 6-week lead time.
VUTEk Printers
VUTEk manufacturing is in full force and backed up about 6-weeks for production time. Get your orders in now to take advantage of the Section 179 tax breaks.
Global Garage
We currently have over $2.5 million in used equipment inventory on the Global Garage. Businesses are motivated to free-up cash or trade-up. Don't miss your chance to take advantage of fantastic savings on great industrial superwide format printers and peripherals.
Financing
This is one of the things that takes the most time and, of course, has been extremely frustrating in 2009. We recently went through an SBA 7a loan training and understand the details of SBA loans so that we can assist our customers as effectively as possible before the end of the year.

SGIA  It
was great to see many of you at the show. Thanks for taking
the time to travel to New Orleans, stop by and talk with us and let us
show you what is on the market today. We know it helped many of you
make your final decisions and we're glad we could help. For those of
you that weren't able to make it, here are a few highlights.
UV Flatbed
The top-of-the-line VUTEk GS3200 printer was running strong and peaked a great deal of interest from the industry trend setters. It's an amazing piece of technology.
Its predecessor, the VUTEk QS2000 is now more than ever, a best selling product that is becoming a must have for anyone making a move into high-speed industrial flatbed. If you are considering a flatbed printer from any competitor, do your research before you invest...talk with us about this high-performance printer. You'll be surprised at how affordable it really is.

The new Garage site is clean, easy to use and THE PREMIER spot for buying, selling or requesting our efforts to find quality, used printer equipment.

FESPA Study
A recent global research study from FESPA reveals widespread industry optimism despite today's challenging economic climate. Some findings include:
The worldwide market for printed graphics is worth more than $43.5 billion.
50% of respondents plan to invest in new wide format digital printing
hardware in the next 12 months, with newer or better functionality the
biggest driver for investment (50%). 40% of expected hardware
investments will be in UV-curing inkjet.
Optimism remains high, with printers scoring an average 7.5 out of
a possible 10 on their optimism for the future of their business. This
is in line with the previous Survey's findings, indicating that
printers are planning proactively for long-term recovery.
Quality still dominates the list of customer demands at 49%, followed by price (24%), turnaround (12%) and new ideas (10%).
FESPA, in partnership with the research firm InfoTrends, conducted the
Web-based survey of more than 340 respondents from more than 50
countries, gathering information on industry best practices,
applications, consumables, new equipment expenditures, digital
penetration, environmental initiatives and regulations.
