Partnership Provides NSO Customers with Additional Customer

Service Capabilities

National Source One (NSO), a national sales and marketing, installation and technical support consortium of certified System Integrators (SIs) throughout the United States, announced a strategic partnership agreement with California-based Addmaster.

Addmaster is a worldwide manufacturer of ink jet receipt and validation printers for the financial industry.

Addmaster's ink jet's non-impact technology provides superior performance and reliability over conventional impact-ribbon methods. These printers offer banks improved print quality, color capability and greater reliability.

Rick Kramer, NSO's Operations Manager, said, "Addmaster is the leading ink jet printing vendor for the financial industry. One in three bank tellers use an Addmaster printer, and we see Addmaster as an ideal business partner for our branch automation systems Teller Suite and Teller Station."

NSO Teller Suite and Teller Station systems offer banks a total customer service workstation that include the necessary hardware and software needed to perform all teller functions. Kramer continued, "Addmaster's ink jet printers can provide banks with improved customer service because these printers produce higher quality receipts, are more reliable, have a smaller footprint, are easier-to-use, consume far less power, and drastically reduce sound levels compared to impact printers. We strive to provide the most up-to-date technology to our customers."

Hugh Clary, vice president of Addmaster Corporation said, "Having Addmaster be represented by a reputable company such as National Source One will give banks the opportunity to use the best ink jet printer for their needs. Impact printing has been eclipsed by non-impact technologies such as ink jet in almost every application. Reliability and efficiency are key factors behind this trend. We are pleased to partner with National Source One, and look forward to a long relationship."
