Press Release


IDEAL.com Partners with Encad, Inc.
~ A Kodak Company ~
To Provide a Complete Scan-to-Print Solution
May 19, 2004, Rockville, Maryland - IDEAL.com announces its partnership with Encad, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Eastman Kodak Company. With the addition of Encad's T200+ printer and the NOVAJET 1000i printer, IDEAL's 'Total Solution' product line now includes a complete scan-to-print solution. This solution was presented to IDEAL's reseller channel at IDEAL's Spring Dealer Conference held in Rockville, Maryland, on May 3 and 4, 2004, and is available through any of IDEAL's authorized resellers. Support for Encad printers, like support for IDEAL/Contex scanners, is provided by Kodak, so IDEAL customers have one-stop-shopping for their IDEAL scan-to-print solutions.

IDEAL is a recognized leader in wide format scanning solutions, including scan-to-print, indexing, document management, online planrooms and raster editing software. IDEAL is also the Contex "Distributor of the Year," a title IDEAL has retained since 1998. IDEAL is a full service scanning solution provider with a broad base of large format digital imaging experience.

"Encad is a pioneer in wide format inkjet printing, and the perfect addition to our 'Total Solution' product package," says Jay Magenheim, President of IDEAL. "IDEAL/Contex scanners and IDEAL software solutions enable our customers to scan-to-print, index and digitally manage and edit drawings. Encad printers round out our product offering by enabling our customers to print their digital files as needed."

The Encad T200+ allows the user to effortlessly switch from full color graphics printing to four color or monochrome CAD output. The new CIS2(tm) ink set with dye black ink (in addition to cyan, magenta and yellow dye ink) creates brilliant full color photographic images, and uses pigment black ink (with cyan, magenta and yellow dye ink) option to print CAD drawings with distinct line acuity. For super fast monochrome printing, at speeds of up to 567 square feet per hour, the T200+ offers an ink set of four black pigment inks. "The versatility and capability of the T200+ make it an excellent choice as an output device from ScanDEX, ScanDEX-IX or any of IDEAL's Online PlanRooms, " adds Magenheim.

The NOVAJET 1000i sets a new standard with print speeds of up to 220 square feet per hour (20.4 sq. meters/hr) of sellable output. A new print head with 640 nozzles provides high-speed printing on a wide variety of media. The Rapid Evaporation Drying System ensures that your prints are instantly ready for take-up, even at full machine speed. The exceptional image quality, high reliability and rapid print speed make the NOVAJET 1000i the perfect companion printer to IDEAL's ArtRoom software. Users can store and sell large color graphics on line with this software that enables fast view without download. Print your customer's art orders using Encad's NOVAJET 1000i with specially designed Quantum Inks andKodak media for lasting artistic prints that look like the original.

"Joining forces with IDEAL, allows Encad to enter into a new application space," said Philip Cullimore, VP Printers and Inks for Encad, "This move demonstrates a great show of confidence in Encad's printers from IDEAL's management."
