Printing Industry Leader Makes Environment A Priority With Acquisition of HP Scitex LX850

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 26, 2012 -- Visual Marking Systems (VMS) has been a long-time leader in the field of printing technology, with an extensive history of responsibility to sustainability:
people, planet and profits. It now moves forward with this commitment by acquiring an additional environmentally friendly printer to its
lineup of machines, increasing its selection of eco-friendly options.
VMS is one of the first in the region to begin using the HP Scitex LX850 Industrial Printer. This printer will allow them to make significant advances

in green print offerings. The Scitex LX850 is a large format printer that offers stunning, high quality prints with vibrant colors and supreme color
matching. The LX850 will allow VMS to offer additional sustainable choices to its clients, and features a variety of eco advantages.
• HP Scitex LX850 Industrial Printer uses latex inks that are environmentally friendly. This is the latest breakthrough in ink technology and
makes use of a water based system that emits no Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs). This means less off-gassing, providing for higher indoor
air quality for both the manufacturer and the end user. In fact, HP wall decorations are GREENGUARD Children & Schools Certified® and meet
AgBB criteria.

• VMS can now offer environmentally friendly options to a larger variety of clients, some of whom had little or no eco-friendly options to choose
from. The LX850 digitally prints up to 126” wide, and makes use of 6 colors for a wider color gamut. It prints on a wide variety of flexible
materials and will allow VMS to expand capabilities for Point of Purchase posters, light boxes, soft signage, wall coverings, vehicle wraps and
graphics, outdoor and event banners.
• Rapid drying: the prints produced are dry right out of the printer. No special ventilation or additional drying equipment is required, leading to
huge energy savings and production time savings, hence shorter lead times

• Print media specifications are expanded, allowing for a wider range of print applications. This benefit allows for more environmentally friendly
and recyclable substrate options. Customers can take advantage of a Large Format Media Buy Take Back program to recycle products that were
traditionally land filled at the end of their life cycle.
Beyond its environmental appeal, the LX850 allows for production efficiencies and will make VMS even more competitive in its industry. Print production
times can be reduced by as much as 75%. Further, it underscores VMS’s commitment to future longevity and long-term growth. Samples of

the print capabilities are on display at the VMS Innovation Center and are available upon request.
