Former Konica Minolta Australia print production specialist Martyn Baker has joined Gold Coast based trade printer IBS Cards as its business development manager.

Baker was in the role at Konica Minolta Australia for a year before taking on the new role at IBS.

Renowned in the industry for his in-depth pre-press and print production knowledge, Baker is a carton printer by trade, and owned his own pre-press company for 19 years in London before making the move to Australia.

Known by most for his 11 years as the state manager for JL Lennards, Baker built a strong relationship with IBS over this time, providing pre-press consumables to the company for years.

According to IBS, his commitment to always providing the very best for the customer no matter what, made him stand out.

IBS owner Scott Signato said, “We’re really excited to have Martyn on board. He’s proven to be one of the most reliable, supportive, and customer-focused reps we’ve dealt with.

“We’ve got some big plans here at IBS including the launch of our new brand and a new portal, a W2P system and trade-only marketing services, as well the expansion of our trade-only graphic design overflow service.

“Martyn’s excited for the direction that we’re heading, and is the perfect fit to help us take these new services to market.”

Baker has also worked at Currie Group and Multicolor Printers in the UK.

IBS most recently came up with a list of areas it believes print service providers should focus on to best serve clients and ensure all their printing needs are covered during the COVID-19 period.
