Inkware has signed Charrette as its exclusive US distributor of Inkware's Arizona line of inks for use with the Oce Arizona? line of printers. The announcement comes on the heels of Inkware's recent announcement of a partnership with Avery Dennison's Graphics Division to guarantee the durability of graphics produced with Inkware inks on Avery Dennison materials on Arizona printers. Charrette also distributes Avery banner and vinyl media.
Inkware's James Pike says, “We believe customers should have a choice in the inks and materials they use. Until now, nobody else had been able to provide the quality, warranty and wide availability that Arizona customers require.”
Charrette's Derek Winton notes that, “Because of price and/or performance, many of our customers have moved away from OEM ink solutions to other third-party manufacturers. In providing this flexibility to Oce Arizona customers, we believe our partnership with Inkware sends a strong statement to the market”?high-quality products from companies serious about providing value and service.” Winton hints that the relationship with Inkware is “just the start of things to come.” (Inkware: www.inkware.com; Charrette: www.charrette.com; Avery Dennison Graphics: www.averygraphics.com)
