About Robert Flipse

I am a highly motivated Sales and Marketing professional with over 25 years of experience in wide format printing and signmaking. In my years in industry, I have sold CNC routers, vinyl sign systems, and the full gamut of wide format printing solutions—printers, RIP’s, media and peripherals—in solvent, UV and aqueous technologies. Prior to founding GrafxNetwork, I operated a successful wide format reseller for 11 years, developing new markets and products while managing the Sales and Technical departments. More recently I successfully managed a large territory for a major RIP software manufacturer, consistently exceeding quota as their top Sales Representative. My current company, Grafx Network fills a unique niche in the wide format industry by offering independent service for wide format printing and finishing equipment either direct to user or as an outsource opportunity for manufacturers and dealers. Specialties: Solvent Digital Printing, Printers, Media, Ink, Training and Seminars
