The company signed a distribution agreement to provide the Workforce Pro Replaceable Ink Pack System (RIPS) printers to selected resellers for Epson.
In a press release, Exertis announced that “the business will be managed from the Exertis specialist OA print facility in Norfolk, utilising dedicated OA account managers who will be working with new and existing Epson RIPS customers.”
The RIPS printers will be offered as part of a Managed Print Service.
Jamie Brothwell, print general manager at Exertis said: “Epson has a very unique proposition using its business ink continuous feed technology that delivers up to 75,000 business quality prints between ink changes. The WorkForce Pro printers are known for their reliability and provide customers with a low TCO including using up to eighty percent less energy than competitive colour lasers. We are looking forward to offering these printers to selected resellers alongside our range of specialist pre-delivery and logistical services, and our flexible credit facilities.”
Claire Robinson, business director, Epson UK said: “With business inkjet printing continuing to rise, we’ve seen a 40% year-on-year increase in business inkjet unit sales and are now the second largest business inkjet supplier in Europe. As more businesses realise the environmental and financial benefits of adopting inkjet printers over laser fleets, this growth looks set to continue in 2017. We are looking forward to extending our existing relationship with Exertis and the specialist services it can offer our reseller channel to continue to grow our market share even further.”
