Marly, Switzerland, February 7th, 2007 – ILFORD, a major player in the development and manufacture of photo quality media for inkjet printing and photographic processes, announces today its presence at Focus on Imaging where the company will showcase its range of new and improved products. ILFORD will be present on the stand of their exclusive Distributor for the UK photo retail channel, JP Distribution.

Specifically designed to meet the demanding needs of today’s professional imaging market and digital artist, additions will include:

 GALERIE: significant performance improvements to its GALERIE Smooth High Gloss product line, now available in A3+ sheets and roll format
 ILFORD Professional Brand: enables photographers to diversify their services and produce images on translucent, reverse print, vinyl and pop-up films which they can purchase in small quantities rather than committing to buying in bulk
 ILFORD STUDIO V7: the latest digital printing software that puts the professional back in control, providing customer ‘solutions’ to address full digital workflows with reliable, high quality results

Following the acquisition of ILFORD by Oji in 2005, the eighth largest paper manufacturer in the world, ILFORD continues to build on its reputation as a company with a strong photographic heritage and fast growing, digital future. The company’s R&D and manufacturing site in Marly, Switzerland, recently received considerable investment to ensure that it is equipped to meet the demands of tomorrow’s market, reaffirming the commitment of ILFORD to amateur and professional photographers alike.

“With the market shift from traditional analogue film to the digital arena, ILFORD has developed its products to offer the professional photographer the latest in inkjet as well as the ultimate in colour photography”, said Dai Jones, Managing Director of ILFORD Imaging Switzerland GmbH. He went on to say, “Our GALERIE range gives stunning photo image rendition while being compatible with all high quality inkjet printers and our new ILFORD Professional Brand fills a niche market for photographers looking to work with a host of new applications, without sacrificing quality or image stability. ILFORD is a company that moves with the times and we are proud to be constantly developing products in line with our customer and market requirements”, he added.

In addition to showcasing the company’s range of new products that will include live demonstrations of ILFORD STUDIO 7, the ILFORD team will be on hand to show you how to achieve exceptional quality results, whatever your printing preferences, and regardless of your input source.
