Seiko I Infotech Expands Its Product Portfolio

Seiko I Infotech (SIIT) today announced that it is expanding its product portfolio for outdoor graphics worldwide.

SIIT has decided not to continue the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) agreement with Hewlett-Packard to jointly develop and market low solvent-based large-format printers for the outdoor graphics printing market beyond December, 2008. Beginning January, 2009, SIIT will provide a wider range of products not only with its existing technology, but also with new technologies.

Masaomi Yoshioka, president of SIIT said, “We are committed to developing an extensive product line for the graphics market to meet our customers’ needs. An entry-level production printer will be introduced in spring 2009 in addition to other new products, to follow on the heels of the recently introduced ColorPainter™ H-104s and H-74s mild solvent printers and continue in the SIIT tradition of excellent engineering and outstanding performance.”
