Printbyte & MGI link for UK push

French digital press and finishing equipment manufacturer MGI has tied with Printbyte, trading as MGI Technology, to distribute its products in the UK.

MGI Technology, which is based in Hemel Hempstead, will supply digital kit such as the DP60 Digital Press and the JetVarnish Digital Inkjet UV coater as well as its finishing products.

It will also take over existing UK clients to provide service and consumables.

David Evans, managing director, MGI Technology, said: "The agreement comes after a few months of working closely with MGI.

"Our challenge initially will be to raise the profile of the MGI brand in the UK and create awareness of the company and the product line. Our target market is commercial printers."
