How it All Began

Updated: Mar 5




Founded in 1989 as a local company with a neighborhood attitude, Presentation Systems Inc. began with a vision to empower educational institutions and organizations with high-quality large-format printing solutions. From the very start, PSI has been dedicated to enhancing learning environments and community spaces through innovative printers for schools. 


Simply put, Presentation Systems Inc. is all about good products and great people who care. Since we opened our doors in 1989, we have always trained our customers with our own highly qualified team of professionals and provided the highest quality of customer service. 

Over the years, our company has grown and evolved, adapting to industry changes while staying true to our core values of quality, creativity, and community engagement. As we’ve expanded our product line, including our flagship eColor+ Poster Printer System, we’ve continued to prioritize customer support and community connections. Over 3,300 of our high-quality printers have been purchased, and countless posters, banners, signs, certificates, floor decals, and more have been created by our passionate and creative customers! 



Meet the Team: The People Behind PSI’s Success

Rose Rivera Egan started Presentation Systems Inc. with her husband Jack in 1989. Born in Manhattan and now living in New Jersey, Rose and Jack built a company with people who feel like family. “These hard working women and men know the value of a dollar and they want each of our customers to enjoy the value that their schools get when they invest with PSI. The realization that our success is found in our reputation means we will continue to over deliver and under promise”. And if you ever stop by our offices, you can always say hello to our office dogs , Archie and Bailey!


Key Team Roles: From product development to customer support, every member of the PSI team plays a vital role in bringing our mission to life. Here’s a closer look at some of the roles that keep PSI running smoothly:

  • Product Development: Our creative minds work tirelessly to innovate and enhance our product offerings, ensuring that our solutions meet the evolving needs of educators and organizations. We strive to provide high-quality, user-friendly printing solutions by continuously refining our technology.

  • Customer Support: Dedicated to providing exceptional service, our customer service and tech teams are always ready to assist with any questions or challenges our customers might face. Whether it’s troubleshooting an issue or offering guidance on best practices, we’re here to help.

  • Design Services: Our creative design team is passionate about helping customers bring their vision to life. We regularly create fresh content and assist with design projects, ensuring that schools and organizations can maximize the impact of their printed materials.

  • Training Professionals: Our training professionals provide both in-person and online sessions to help customers get the most out of their eColor+ experience.

  • Culture and Values: At PSI, we believe in fostering a collaborative and inclusive work culture. Our team is driven by a shared passion for empowering educators, enhancing learning environments, and making a positive impact in our community. This commitment extends beyond our products and into the charitable initiatives we support.



Community Engagement and Charitable Initiatives

We are more than just a provider of poster printers for schools; we are an active part of our community. Our team takes pride in giving back, participating in local charities, and supporting community projects. Whether it’s donating resources to schools or volunteering at local events, we believe in making a difference.



Empowering Students Through the Student Entrepreneur Program (STEP)

We are always looking for innovative ways to utilize our printers, and that was exactly how STEP was born. 

Our Student Entrepreneur Program (STEP) is an initiative that empowers students to run their own printing businesses within their schools using our poster printers. STEP not only fosters creativity but also teaches valuable entrepreneurial skills.

Schools participating in STEP have seen remarkable engagement from students and educators alike. One school that is implementing STEP explains how it has been an amazing experience because “The students are so excited about it, our principals are excited about it, and the community is excited about it. Because it's very student-empowered, the teachers love sitting down with the students and saying, ‘This is what I want,’ and the students make it come to life.”

With STEP, PSI continues to inspire and equip the next generation of leaders and creators, all while having fun along the way! 



What to Expect from the PSI Blog

We’re excited to begin our regular blog series, where we’ll be sharing valuable content to inspire and inform our community. Here’s what you can look forward to:

  • Community Engagement and Success Stories: Highlighting schools and organizations benefiting from our solutions, as well as showcasing the charitable initiatives we proudly support. This is a great source of inspiration!

  • Educational Applications of Large-Format Printing: Ideas and guides for enhancing learning environments with custom posters, banners, and more.

Building Community Through Stories and Solutions

At PSI, we’re passionate about creating connections and fostering community engagement. Our new blog series aims to inspire, inform, and bring us closer to those who share our vision. We invite you to join us on this journey by subscribing to our blog, following us on social media, and sharing your own stories and experiences.

We love hearing about the innovative ways our high-quality printers are being used. This testimonial from Sussex County Library is an incredible example of finding ways to support the local community: 

“We’ve invested in this amazing printer that can create full-color, weatherproof, vinyl banners. In addition to brightening up our buildings, we are offering the service to the local community at cost…We are always on the lookout for new ways to support the local community including small businesses…Now small business owners can write their plan, craft their message, and create beautiful, graphic posters and banners right here at the library.” 

-Louisa Bann, Adult Services Librarian 

This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to share more about our team, our products, and the communities we serve. Thank you for being a part of the PSI family!
