Osaka, Japan - PROTECH, Inc. has aggressively adopted new technologies into their business to stay ahead of their competitors. Initially, they purchased an electrostatic plotter. Ten years ago, they added an inkjet printer. PROTECH began sewing and welding in-house in order to meet customers’ demanding delivery schedules. PROTECH even developed a web management system for sending and receiving even very large artwork to improve customer communication.

As a wide variety of inkjet printers were introduced, they studied the market for upgrading their equipment. “We were immediately captivated by the SJ-1045IS when we saw a printed sample,” said Yoshikatsu Nishimura, Manager of the Commercial Photograph Section of the Technical Development Department at PROTECH. “The vivid color and outstanding quality were perfectly suited for us as we are very stubborn about photo quality. In addition, the fact that the ink is virtually odor free and quick drying appealed to us so that we can quickly begin the post-printing process.”
