GreatAmerica and SoyPrint weigh in on issues affecting the toners industry
More insight provided at Toners 2011 June 15-17, 2011 in Santa Monica, CA
PORTLAND, Maine, April 27, 2011 — With just six weeks remaining until Pira International’s annual Toners conference, GreatAmerica Leasing Corporation and SoyPrint provided insights into their presentations and the future of the industry. Toners 2011 will be held June 15-17 at the Doubletree Guest Suites in Santa Monica, CA, US and will explore and debate commercial opportunities, market trends and new technical developments in the toners industry.
Greg VanDeWalker, Senior Vice President of Strategic Relationships at GreatAmerica Leasing Corporation shared his insight on the commoditization of Managed Print Services (MPS), at topic that he’ll also address during his conference presentation. “Some markets are already commoditized. More players are still entering. More tools for partnering are available than ever before,” said VanDeWalker. “I believe there is still much opportunity. However, the players will look different in 5 years.”
Rick Greenlaw, Vice President of Marketing for SoyPrint will talk about the newest innovations, opportunities and challenges with bio toners at Toners 2011. Greenlaw comments that “the biggest challenge is public awareness of the technology, which will change when there are more bio toners in the market, more retailers that carry bio toner cartridges and when suppliers support additional printer models (in addition to HP models).” To read the complete interviews with Greg VanDeWalker and Rick Greenlaw, please click here.
