| ARA Show Review |
We would like to thank everyone who visited us at the ARA International Awards Market in late February at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
During the show, the new Direct Jet 1024UVMVP was on full display for customers, prospects and dealers alike who were anxious to see the latest in UV LED printer technology. Many who heard of the enhanced ROI, increased speed and ADA-compliant/Braille signage capabilities were eager to check out what they have been hearing from their colleagues and industry publications.
With visitors from all over the globe looking for a solution to solve specific application issues or boost sales, the 1024UVMVP stood out from the crowd by delivering a steady stream of crowd-pleasing ADA-compliant/Braille signage, acrylic award, trophy plate and phone case samples quickly and efficiently for the entirety of the 3-day show.
Didn't get your hands on a sample you wanted at the show?
Let us know and we will send you one.
Recognition Review, the official magazine of the Awards and Recognition Association, recently focused on UV LED printers in an article highlighting the profitability and opportunity available with ADA-compliant/Braille signage production. As discussed often during the show, the opportunity to boost business is there, it's time to take advantage of it. |
