Quality Print Services (QPS) was established in 1997 with customer service at its core.
Based in Lancashire in northwest England, Managing Director Chris Bailey can usually be found driving cross-country to meet a client or under the hood of a printer.
Along with providing technical support and an extensive range of hardware, QPS has been a leading distributor of alternative inks for the last 20 years.
"When we started in the late 1990s it was really the start of the wide-format industry," said Bailey. "Commercial wide-format equipment was not really available, printers didn't have piezo printheads yet, so we were there right from the beginning.
“We became a Lyson inks distributor before starting QPS Ltd, then started selling digital dye-sublimation inks from Lyson,” Bailey added. “When Nazdar bought out Lyson in 2006 we had the full range of inks to offer our customers and an established relationship that now goes back over 20 years."
Ronnie Coogan, territory manager for Europe at Nazdar Ink Technologies, reported that QPS is an ideal representative for the Nazdar brand.
"Chris and his team are 100% focused on providing professional support to the QPS customer base," he said. "Chris would say he's not a sales guy, but in my mind, he is the ultimate sales guy thanks to his enthusiasm and attitude of just getting the job done for his customers."
“Our aim is to find a solution," Bailey noted. "Whatever a customer's problem or application need, we can probably find an ink for them, thanks to the breadth of the full Nazdar range. It's not just a wide selection of products; they are good, reliable inks that we can be confident will meet customer requirements.
"As a result of COVID-19, many print businesses are in survival mode at the moment," added Bailey. "They are naturally hunting for the lowest prices and there are alternative inks available online that are cheaper than Nazdar's, but they simply aren't as high quality and don't come with the support from QPS. We help our customers make investments that will benefit their unique businesses long-term. We provide support in the field, not just the product. It's a cradle to grave service."
