MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Delphax
Technologies Inc. (Pink Sheets: DLPX.PK), a global provider of
high-speed digital printing equipment, today announced the sale of
a Checktronic 4500X digital check-printing system to Graphic
Express of Mexico City. With this
addition, Graphic Express is now operating two Checktronic
4500X systems, continuing a long-standing relationship with
Delphax.
The Checktronic 4500X is the top-performing press in
Delphax's original Checktronic Series of document-printing
systems that introduced electron-beam imaging technology to the
security printing industry. The presses combine the cost-effective
advantages of digital technology with high-quality Magnetic Ink
Character Recognition (MICR) printing.
With a rated speed of 120 pages per minute and important
security advantages, the Checktronic 4500X continues to
prove itself ideally suited for personalized production in a
majority of international markets. Graphic Express, an established
Delphax customer, said the choice of an additional Checktronic
4500X reflected its extensive experience with the equipment and
a growing volume of check-printing activity.
Graphic Express handles a wide range of other security and
commercial printing applications, including continuous forms, tax
forms, tickets, driver's licenses, magazines and direct mail
products.
Delphax Technologies also announced two new regional sales
positions.
- Maria Elena Lopez has been named
inside sales representative, Latin
America and the Caribbean.
- Diane Lucas has joined the
company's sales and marketing group as North American sales
representative.
"Maria Lopez brings to us a solid
background in international sales experience, including 13 years of
financial and sales experience with Air France in its Mexico City operations," said Kevin Howes, vice president of sales, marketing
and customer service. "She will be responsible for direct
sales of Delphax products throughout the Latin American and

customer account specialist for Schwan's Consumer Brands North
America, Inc., in Minnesota. She

Valle de Mexico in
Mexico City.
"With 17 years of technology-oriented sales experience in the
printing industry, Diane Lucas is
especially well-equipped to represent Delphax and the productivity
advantages of our print systems," Howes said. Her move to Delphax
