Austin, TX - PrintGlobe Inc., an Austin-based business printing and graphic design company, announced the acquisition of U.S. rights to the www.printing.com domain name, beginning March 1st, 2002. This acquisition will send the 20,000-30,000 + visitors a month that Printing.com receives directly to PrintGlobe Inc.'s web site - www.printglobe.com. This follows the January 15th launch of PrintGlobe's new web site and online printing portal, which will set the standard for online print providers and customers alike.

"We are extremely excited about the strategic opportunities that this acquisition presents to us", says Dan Steinborn, President of PrintGlobe. "We were already positioned to be the industry leader with our revolutionary new printing portal. Harnessing the Printing.com domain name will drive us to a critical mass of industry awareness and customer base to enable an accelerated ongoing proliferation of our solution and technology."
