Ink2image (a division of CIS Systems Inc) was founded in 2005 to primarily develop and manufacture bulk ink delivery
systems for inkjet printers. The company quickly grew to become a major supplier of CIS (Continuous Ink Supply)
systems and, in the summer of 2006, was appointed as the exclusive master distributor of Lyson photographic and fine
Art inkjet products in North America. In early 2009, Ink2image acquired the Inkjet division of Media Street, and is now the
exclusive source for the renowned Generations and Plug-N-Play inkjet inks, media, and bulk ink devices. These are
products are now all sold under the 'Media Street by Ink2image' brand.

Headquartered 15 miles North West of Chicago in Glenview, Illinois, the company’s main activity is to market, distribute
and support it's range of photographic and fine art inkjet products through it's web sites and a team of regionally based
dealers and re-sellers through out the USA, Canada and Mexico. The dedicated Ink2image team, headed up by founder
and President, Tony Martin, all have many years background in inkjet printing and have a knowledge and experience of
inkjet products second to none.
Tony Martin has over twenty years working experience in the inkjet industry. Formally trained as
an electro-mechanical engineer and sales and marketing professional, Tony joined Lyson in
1995 as sales and marketing director based at the original company head office in Stockport,
UK. He was the primary force in taking the company into the then fledgling photographic inkjet
market, and was actively involved in developing many of the products that make up the Lyson
photographic and Fine Art portfolio today. Tony moved to the USA in 2001 to head up the
Lyson manufacturing and sales facility in Chicago. “I have had a serious interest in photography
since I was a young child” comments Tony “In fact; my first job out of school was with a
commercial studio where I learned darkroom techniques. I am delighted that with the
appointment of Ink2image as the master distributor in North America, I can now focus my
energies full time on the photographic industry. We have a great team here at Ink2image and
our aim is to build the company into the primary resource for photographic and fine art inkjet
users”.
Lyson was formed in 1988 by three like minded entrepreneurs to develop and manufacture inkjet inks for the industrial
and graphics printing industries. The company rapidly grew throughout the 90’s to become the largest independent
manufacturer of inkjet inks in the World. Working with OEM’s and it’s own team of distributors, the Lyson inks range grew
to include products for the industrial coding, photographic and fine art, textile, and wide and grand format printing
industries. Lyson was acquired in early 2006 by the largest manufacturer of screen printing inks in the USA, the Nazdar
Company of Shawnee, Kansas, and is now a key element in the Worldwide Nazdar ink manufacturing and development
organization. “The coming together of the Nazdar and Lyson chemists and technicians has created, I believe, a research
and development team second to none” states Tony Martin” The future for Lyson photographic and fine art products
looks very bright indeed”.
