Our History
TypeMaker Limited was formed in 1986 by Directors Geoffrey Clements and Simon Prais.
TypeMaker quickly grew throughout the late 1980s and 1990s and became a premier developer of image manipulation software for a range of niche industries.
Bespoke TypeMaker software applications were developed and used by customers in more than twenty countries. Supported by a growing expert technical team, innovative colour management technology was then introduced to the project portfolio.
In the early 2000s, TypeMaker expanded into the emerging digital imaging market.
Drawing on these years of experience and in-depth knowledge of colour management and image manipulation and launched the Color Confidence brand, opening local offices in mainland Europe.
As TypeMaker grew their presence in Europe, Grafipress GmbH was acquired and re-launched in 2009 as a pan-European business selling to the graphics and print market place.
2013 saw TypeMaker appointed as the exclusive distributor for X-Rite Photo and Video across EMEA, which subsequently led to the emergence of the XP Distribution brand a couple of years later, as the distribution business grew and grew.
XP Distribution has evolved into the leading distributor of graphic and digital imaging products, serving EMEA with a strong and ever-expanding network of reseller partners
In 2019 TypeMaker acquired Dutch retailer brands, Eizowinkel and Kleurgidsen, extending its presence in the design and photo markets in Europe.
With the business ever-growing and to facilitate future expansion, it is time to consolidate our offering under LUMESCA Group.
