| Zamage Announces Agreement with 'Hambleton Fine Art Services' |
|
Zamage Digital Imaging Inc. (OTC:BB, Symbol: ZMGE) is pleased to announce it has signed an agreement with "Hambleton Fine Art Services" (www.fineartservices.com) to be the first dealer to merchandize their interactive fine art digital created images.
Under the terms of this agreement, Zamage will supply Hambleton's with their unique and interactive presentation display to sell their extensive range of digitally created original fine art images created through the combination of proprietary digital effects and innovative traditional art techniques.
With this alliance, Zamage has fused the worlds of digital art created and viewed on a computer with the physical bricks and mortar art galley world, where customers can interact with the art, choose the style, frame and printing media.
This innovative custom order merchandizing system eliminates the need for expensive inventory with the flexibility to customize art to fit any décor or environment. The client simply previews the art, selects the size, frame and fine art print media choice of either artist paper or stretched canvas. The order is then electronically sent to Zamage for printing, processing and fulfillment.
Since 1984, Hambleton Fine Art Services has been the premier supplier in Western Canada of fine art and custom framing servicing interior designers, architects, hotels, restaurants, corporate art buyers, the film industry, and advertising agencies.
Jeff Hambleton, founder of Hambleton Fine Arts states, "We are excited to have access to the stunning image production and fine art Giclée printing capabilities of Zamage and I believe this new merchandizing system is a valuable new tool that will increase our sales and keep us ahead of the competition.
"Hambleton has been instrumental in working with us to develop this unique art merchandizing system and they will be the first installation for Zamage" said Stewart Irvine, CEO of Zamage Digital Imaging, Inc. "This on-demand system provides an alternative and affordable source of inventory for the 6,500 galleries and framing stores retail art dealers in the US generating $18 billion a year in sales. Zamage has forged alliances with sales agents to represent and market to US and International Art and gallery markets.

Zamage is also establishing both strategic partnerships and retail/wholesale relationships with hardware and software companies, photographic, framing and fine art organizations, publications, print and display specialists, charity organizations, and photo kiosk providers.
The current explosive growth of the digital photography market contributes to the excitement being generated by Zamage. It is estimated that in the year 2000, 13.9 billion amateur digital images were created with digital cameras, and processed through scanners and film duplication services in the United States alone. Looking ahead, it is estimated that over 4 billion U.S. amateur prints will be serviced through online photofinishers in 2005.
