Having been involved in the print industry for over 30 years, Darren Patterson knows what a challenge it can be to source a consistent supply of good quality media for screen and digital printing.

That is why he and his wife Jane established Media Source Solutions; a Company that sources, stocks, and supplies the latest and best print media products from all over the world. They do the leg work … making the contacts, keeping up to date with the products and technologies, sourcing the products, and stocking them locally. This means you can order with confidence … your order will be processed quickly and delivered promptly to your door. Darren has a wealth of knowledge about material specifications and UL approval standards. He can help you choose the right product for the job … he can even help you manage your stock and inventory.

Prior to this new venture, Darren and Jane owned and operated award winning Foster Graphics in Christchurch for 10 years. They specialised in traditional screen printing then expanded into high tech large format digital printing. This hard work didn’t go unnoticed. Darren had the privilege of being a judge at the National Pride in Print awards twice. And, in 2008 and 2009, the Foster Graphics team won Gold in the Pride in Print awards.
