Imaging Resources Debuts Products at World Expo

CHATSWORTH, Calif. – Imaging Resources (IR), a leader in the distribution of high-quality supplies and parts for the toner cartridge remanufacturing industry, announced the introduction of a diversified line of new products at World Expo 2004 in Las Vegas.

Products exhibited by IR included the multicycle Olympus drum, manufactured in a state-of-the-art facility and with the latest technologies, and supplies for the newest toner by HP, Lexmark, Samsung and other leading manufacturers.

IR is a major supplier of Daewon (formerly Samsung) drums. Along with Samsung universal toner, the combination produces equal or better print quality than the OEM.

"There is no doubt that after dominating the European market, Samsung printers are going to be the next big seller in the United States," said Peter Kasl, account manager for the European market. "Having a reliable source for supplies is very critical. No one knows Samsung supplies more than we do."

IR also presented supplies for new HP cartridges, including toner, drums, blades and mag roller sleeves for the 1010/1012 /1015 and 1150.

Color toner was also displayed at IR’s booth, including toners for HP 1500/2500, 4600 and 4500/8500, Lexmark Optra C710, QMS 2200/2300 and Techtronix 1235.

"Before introducing a color toner, we make sure that we get as close as possible to OEM quality," said Zead Elhammi, domestic and international account manager. "This way we are sure that there will be no need for a second and third generation."

As a result of the strategic alliance between Imaging Resources and CF-Technologies, IR debuted the NT seal, the next generation of Gold Seal, at World Expo.

This year’s Imaging Resources’ open-doors party was at the Galileo Hall inside the Sands Convention Center, where Expo was held.
