CAMARILLO, Calif., Sept. 17, 2003, (PRIMEZONE) -- Quintek Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:QTEK), the only manufacturer of a chemical-free desktop microfilm solution, announced today that it has begun to roll-out a plan to upgrade existing installations.
The new upgrade program will bring customers using the old Q4300 technology in line with new technologies developed and implemented by Quintek in recent months. To date the Company has sold approximately 70 units. The upgrade plan will be offered at $4,995.00.
The first phase TCP/IP network upgrade works in conjunction with the new Quinplot 2.0 software to allow customers to send data from any device on the network to the Quintek solution, greatly increasing the functionality of the system.
Robert Steele, CEO of Quintek commented, "Keeping our installations current with new technologies will strengthen the relationship between Quintek and the customer. He added, "We are pleased to announce that the first customer to order the upgrade is the Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) in Pasadena, California."
