| Big Image Systems Successful |
|
Big Image Systems, which opened an office in the United States almost two years ago, says it is enjoying success. In 2003, the company had 155 orders in the United States with all images produced using Big Image's exclusive digital airbrush technology. “The Americans have a history of printing large images, but our colors are so much more intense and, using our technology, the fabric does not need to be treated,” said Andreas Skantze, Big Image CEO. The company provided scenery decor for seven Broadway productions, plus produced images for opera houses, churches, and an indoor roller coaster at Universal Studios in Florida.
