SAN DIEGO February 1, 2005 International Technoprint Inc. (ITI) today announced that San Diego-based KIC Software has selected its distribute-to-print services to provide customers in Asia with product data sheets.

“International Technoprint’s distribute-to-print services save us more time and money than I thought was possible,” said Bjorn Dahle, president of KIC Software. “Right off the bat, we eliminated all of our freight expenses. Plus, they handle all of the international details, so we can concentrate on developing quality software.”

Lisa Mashino, ITI project manager, manages every step of the distribute-to-print process, from obtaining raw data in San Diego to printing completed data sheets in Malaysia. “We provide KIC Software with a cost-effective and efficient way to deliver quality, localized brochures to their overseas customers,” said Mashino.

The process begins when ITI obtains raw product data in English from KIC Software. ITI translates the content into Japanese and reworks it into marketing copy appropriate for Japanese customers. After the content is perfect, ITI presents KIC Software with a color proof. Once the data sheet is approved, ITI prints it immediately at its printing facility in Malaysia. ITI then delivers the completed data sheets to KIC Software’s nearby office in Singapore.

“We attend a large number of trade shows around the world and give the data sheets to countless potential customers,” said Dahle. “That first impression is critical to our business, and it’s a relief to know that International Technoprint is handling all of the details. The final product is always perfect.”
