TINKERINE AND PRINTERWORKS PARTNER TO LAUNCH NATIONWIDE MANAGED 3D PRINT SERVICES

Tinkerine Studios Ltd. has entered a partnership with PrinterWorks, one of Western Canada's largest independent managed print services companies. Per the dealer and partnership agreement, PrinterWorks will use Tinkerine's newest DittoPro printers to provide managed 3-D printing services to its stable of corporate and enterprise accounts in Canada.

The move further defines and reinforces Tinkerine's strong market position within the 3-D printing services industry by offering Tinkerine service depots for its 3-D printers across the country. The company is also happy to announce that it will be now offering an industry-first one-year warranty and extended warranty program to support this initiative. Consumers will now be able to go to PrinterWorks as a one-stop shop for all their 3-D printing needs. Additionally, the company expects this partnership to enhance sales by making the product and filament more readily accessible to existing Tinkerine and PrinterWorks clients, as well as new customers across Canada.

"Partnering with PrinterWorks allows us to continue to leverage the power of 3-D print-managed services as a significant part of future revenue. PrinterWorks has a tremendous track record in providing managed print services to some of Western Canada's biggest school districts, private and public health care, and services organizations, with best-in-class print-managed solutions that both control and manage overall printing costs. For Tinkerine, there is a natural tie-in to the school districts and other customers that PrinterWorks supports and services," commented Tinkerine chief executive officer Eugene Suyu. "We think there is a real opportunity in the market now to offer high-performance, reliable and affordable hardware, dedicated service (training), and unparalleled technical support to 3-D printing customers," added Mr. Suyu.

"PrinterWorks has always been on the leading edge of providing innovative printer and copier solutions to our clients; we remain the leading independent provider of managed print services to enterprise-level clients in Western Canada. The addition of 3-D printing technologies to our mix is an exciting leap forward into the future of our industry! Our service, sales and distribution infrastructures are ideally suited to complement Tinkerine's presence in the growing 3-D printing market. From go-to-market strategies, distribution models, vision and corporate culture, the many synergies our organizations share make Tinkerine a natural partner for PrinterWorks," stated Stefano Walker, PrinterWorks' vice-president of sales and marketing.

This partnership is exciting for both parties as Tinkerine and PrinterWorks are dedicated in providing the best experience for all consumers.

We seek Safe Harbor.
