Rick Day and Geoff Milliken originally founded Blue Print Imaging
(formally Just Screen Ltd) in February 1994.
The company was formed initially through attaining the SICPA agency,
(now Sericol), utilising a staff of 4 people in two small locations.
From these modest beginnings the company has grown and evolved
significantly. Screenprinting products were the sole focus of the company
for the first six years with the major contribution being Sericol, Wilflex,
Saati and Autotype, plus a range of equipment from TAS and Atma.
In 1999 the company saw the start of local screen ink manufacturing
which has continued to grow through the years.
In may 2000, the Digital Division was formed, this was based primarily
around the Roland DG machinery agency (Now Mimaki) and has presented
the largest growth within the company in recent years. Digital will continue
to present new opportunities through the addition of some exciting new agencies.
In recent years Narrow Web UV Flexo has been added to Blue Print’s portfolio
and as this relatively new technology is taking the label market by storm, it also
presents some significant growth opportunities for the company. Partnered with
Sericol one of the world’s leading edge UV ink manufacturing companies
Blue Print is already making excellent in roads into the label market with a number
of “gold medals” having already been won utilising the Sericol Product.
In May 2005 the company moved to it’s newly refurbished 3,000 sqm property
which will enable it to continue to provide the service and support levels it has
been renowned for.

• High calibre industry-specific staff

strategic locations encompassing warehousing and showroom facilities in
New Zealand’s second and third largest cities Wellington and Christchurch.
The staff level today numbers 34 with further increased staffing levels expected,
due to the strong growth forecasts in all areas.
In August 2004 the company under went a name change from Just Screen to

This has been widely accepted as a positive move and will enable the
company to continue to grow and flourish through the second decade and beyond.
