The firm added that the new 20,000 square feet facility will benefit printer and copier dealers “who can now receive same-day service, reduced shipping times and local inventory that minimizes their need to carry excess stock”.
Image1’s entire line of printer parts, certified pre-owned printers and managed print services will be available from the Oakville-based distribution factory.
