Signmaster Sytems in exciting Mimaki deal

With Signmaster Systems continuing to thrive under new owners Lucy Ratcliffe and Sam Kehoe, the firm has now signed a new deal to become official resellers of Mimaki equipment. Hybrid Services, the exclusive UK and Irish distributor for Mimaki equipment chose Signmaster to become a reseller, after Kehoe and Ratcliffe made it their number one priority to renew the partnership.

Over the last few years, Mimaki has become one of the manufacturers to beat in terms of research and development and has enjoyed particular success with the recent UCJV series. Now, Signmaster Systems can be part of this success, and has renewed its relationship with Mimaki, and has been appointed official reseller by Hybrid Services.

The exclusive UK and Irish distributor for Mimaki, selected Signmaster after new owners Lucy Ratcliffe and Samantha Kehoe made it number one priority. Ratcliffe and Kehoe has said that they will have a renewed focus on hardware sales and support.

Ratcliffe explains: “Becoming a Mimaki reseller again was the first item on our wish list when we bought Signmaster. Sam and I had Mimaki machines when first started our print business. We believe in their quality and I wanted to start offering them to our customer again and we were truly delighted when Hybrid felt the same.

“Our plan for Signmaster Systems is to provide our customers with a choice of the best products and technology in the market—Mimaki most definitely fits into that vision,” continues Ratcliffe. 

  “We’re very pleased to be working with Lucy, Sam, and the team at Signmaster and look forward to helping support them and their customers with their investment in Mimaki solutions”

“Visitors to Signmaster will be impressed with the facilities and the opportunity to demo the latest Mimaki hardware in an inspiring environment.”

Signmaster already boasts the UCJV Series LED UV printer/cutter and a dedicated JV150 solvent printer with matching CG-FX plotter in its showroom.

Ratcliffe concludes: “Bringing Mimaki back into the business has created a lot of excitement for the staff at Signmaster. It is a range we are all passionate about and we look forward to helping customers by adding Mimaki or upgrading their current Mimaki machine.”
