GM Media has signed the agreement with Europe’s largest paper and visual advertising materials distributor Antalis on the distribution of GM Media products in the Baltic markets.

From the beginning of August 2012 Antalis offers its customers a broad range of GM Media materials for wide format digital printing such as variety of papers for citylights, billboards, posters – both whiteback and blueback, films for illuminated advertisements, synthetic paper of extraordinary strength, decorative finishing textiles and other materials for exhibition stands. The proposed range of materials will be particularly attractive for printing houses working with UV or Latex technology devices.

“We appreciate the partnership with the leading distributor of paper and visual advertising materials,” says GM Media Business Development Manager Gražvydas Pangonis. “Due to Antalis team expertise, long years of experience and a customer-oriented product delivery process our products will become known better in the printing industries of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, easily and quickly achieved, and better adapted for specific needs of each client. We are pleased that this partnership will bring us closer to our customers.”

“We seek to strengthen our company’s position in the market of wide format digital printing,” said Antalis CEO Egidijus Ramanauskas. “By complementing the range of products to this segment, we are guided by a competitive product price, their impeccable quality, good customer feedback and reputation criteria. GM Media products are in line with our expectations and we believe that due to the partnership with this company we can offer our customers excellent products and share their operational competence, ensuring their accurate and flexible delivery.”

In the beginning of April 2012, HP certified another three GM-Media products: Canvas 1300-260 for the manufacture of interior decoration items, material for indoor exhibition stands Flatex Banner 1100, and Citylight Paper 1100 designed specifically for citylights, scrolling systems,  various posters. The certificate approved the compatibility of GM-Media materials with HP wide-format latex printers, as well as excellent printing results, for those who opted for the combination of the HP installation and certified GM-Media materials.

During the certification process, the GM-Media materials have been tested in various stages of the product life cycle – physical properties of materials, fluency of the printing process, print quality, as well as for durability and environmental resistance of the visual production.

“We are pleased that our materials have received high ratings on all criteria. The fact that products are certified by HP gives even more security to our future customers. Using the certified products, the best printing results can be achieved by following the recommendations for printing device settings prepared for each HP certified printing material”, said GM-Media Business Development Manager Gražvydas Pangonis.

Previously, HP has certified these GM-Media products for exhibition systems and stands: Textile Banner 205 and Synthetic Paper 1100-200 with ultra high strength properties, as well as Backlit 200 glossy film used for illuminated signs.
