HARMAN TECHNOLOGY AT FOCUS ON IMAGING 2008
Leading photo-imaging company announces plans for Europe’s biggest annual imaging show

With FOCUS ON IMAGING just around the corner, leading photo-imaging company HARMAN technology Limited has announced exciting plans for Europe’s largest annual imaging event.

At the show, which takes place from the 24th to the 27th February 2008 at the Birmingham NEC, HARMAN will be appearing at Stand C2, Hall 9 and for the first time ever, it will be exhibiting three brands: ILFORD PHOTO, HARMAN PHOTO and the newly acquired Kentmere. As such, it will be a good opportunity for people to see just how effectively HARMAN has integrated Kentmere into its business without affecting the product nature, or performance, that loyal Kentmere customers have come to know - and love.

In addition, ILFORD PHOTO has chosen FOCUS to announce major new developments to its process and print service. In direct response to customer feedback, a substantial investment has been made in new Process and Print Equipment which will result in a significant increase in quality and extension of the services offered to include capabilities such as the scanning of images to CD, enlargements and the printing of digital black and white prints.

And finally, not to be outdone, HARMAN PHOTO will also be using FOCUS to promote the launch of its new GLOSS FB AL WARMTONE. This new inkjet paper - which will be given away in trial sized packs on the HARMAN stand - is the eagerly awaited follow-up to the manufacturer’s GLOSS FB AL; a product which was launched in late summer 2007 to rave reviews on both sides of the Atlantic.

Speaking of the planned appearance, HARMAN technology’s Marketing Director, Howard Hopwood, said: “It’s always a pleasure to exhibit at FOCUS ON IMAGING and to be surrounded by so many people who share HARMAN’s passion for all forms of photography. However this year is going to be particularly special for us.”

“So much has happened within our company since FOCUS ON IMAGING 2007, that any visitor to our stand will be able to find something of interest, whether that’s more information on the recent coming together with Kentmere; latest details of our ‘Defend the Darkroom’ campaign; evidence of just how popular our GLOSS FB AL paper is proving; or trial packs of our latest, and keenly anticipated, product – HARMAN PHOTO GLOSS FB AL WARMTONE.”

NOTES TO EDITORS –

HARMAN technology Limited is a pioneering imaging specialist based in Mobberley, Cheshire. The company - which was born of the ILFORD formed by Alfred Harman in 1879 - now includes three, separate and well known brands: ILFORD PHOTO which manufactures traditional monochrome photographic products; HARMAN PHOTO which produces a range of high-end inkjet media for both colour and monochrome prints; and KENTMERE PHOTOGRAPHIC which produces a range of photography and inkjet papers, including Opaljet.

The ILFORD range of inkjet products, including ‘ILFORD Galerie’, is not associated with HARMAN technology in any way, and is actually manufactured and marketed by a separate organisation based in Switzerland.
