GMG Americas has signed an agreement with Access, headquartered in Toronto, to become a dealer of GMG products throughout Canada. The company's efforts will be focused on GMG's wide array of color management solutions, as well as the PrintFactory workflow.

Access has provided IT solutions to small and medium size businesses for over 25 years. It has developed extensive experience in serving large format digital print service providers, commercial printers, screen printers, quick copy shops, sign shops, fine art reproduction bureaus, reprographic houses and large format print franchises across Canada. Its success and growth can be attributed to both a consultative and problem solving approach with clients supported by a strong technical services team. The company’s factory-trained specialists recommend equipment and supplies that allow its customers to produce the highest quality, most cost-effective output possible. Its specialists maximize equipment performance to increase profitability, with expertise in all print issues from color and file management to choosing the right media.

“We look forward to providing GMG’s full range of color management products throughout Canada,” comments John Visentin, Access Group president. “We hope to show the value of GMG ColorServer, GMG ColorProof and GMG OpenColor to a wide array of users—from ad agencies to digital, offset and wide format printers. And, as an Epson partner, we see tremendous opportunity pairing up Epson SureColor printers with GMG solutions to produce accurate proofs and prototypes.

“We look forward to a strong partnership with Access,” remarks Paulo Monteiro, VP sales, GMG Americas. “They have extensive experience in the Canadian market and should help to build on GMG’s visibility and color management reputation there. They have helped customers build complete systems—for example, with PrintFactory and GMG ColorServer. They also can provide answers to specific color management issues with our other solutions.”
