By scanning your documents and keeping electronic records, you create an environment where document management is made more efficient.
Modico
Modico uses a new and revolutionary manufacturing method for stamps: the permanent stamp, also known as Flash Stamp, because it is produced with a flash-unit. Sharp and even imprints of best quality characterise these kinds of stamps. The ink pad is placed behind the printing plate which is made of a microporous special foamed material, that stays ink-permeable only at the unexposed areas. The exposed areas are ink-impermeable. If you press the stamp, the ink will be dispensed through the ink-permeable areas of the text plate onto the paper.
Graphics, grey scales, photos, personal signatures and fonts down to 4,5 points are reproduced precisely. It uses an intelligent technology that makes a profit margin of up to 200 percent possible. All you need is a laser printer, the Modico exposure-unit and a little bit of creativity.
Entrance is free. Pre-register online to speed up the process and stand a chance to win R1000 in cash. The expo will take place from 9am to 6pm (18th) and 9-5pm (19th).
