NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 7, 2000

Mimeo.com, the leader in Internet-based quality, secure business document printing, binding and delivery, and Corbis(R), the place for pictures on the Internet, have announced a strategic alliance in which Mimeo.com will be the preferred online printing solution for the revolutionary new Corbis BizPresenter site.

Corbis BizPresenter is the first complete online image resource offering a wide selection of exclusive Corbis images, New Yorker cartoons, computer illustrations and PowerPoint(R) templates for business people who desire compelling, visually sophisticated presentations, Web sites or other materials. Aimed at business people who are constrained by time, budget and design expertise, Corbis BizPresenter aggregates a variety of professional-quality visual media and makes them quickly accessible and affordable. Selecting from nearly 60,000 images, content has been pre-sorted into sets by subject, idea, industry and other categories and is searchable though BizPresenter's exclusive Power Browse feature. This makes creating memorable communications intuitive and speedy.

"The Mimeo.com Internet-based printing, binding and delivery service is a perfect complement to our new BizPresenter concept, offering the top quality digital printing that our libraries of high-resolution digital images demand," said Art Muldoon, managing director of Corbis BizPresenter. "Millions of business people create presentations, Web sites and other documents every day, until now there has not been a single place to get professional quality, affordable visual content. BizPresenter fills these gaps and gives any user the ability to create great projects right away instead of settling for sub-par images, spending more money than necessary to get what they want or wasting time surfing the Net, and Mimeo.com gives them the ability to then print, bind and deliver high quality hard copies of those presentations and other documents without ever leaving the application in which they are working."

"Many of the documents we produce for our customers are presentations that can mean the difference between success or failure in a proposal, project, sales call or other career critical endeavor," said Jeff Stewart, CEO of Mimeo.com. "The Corbis BizPresenter images and templates will help make those presentations even more powerful and allow many frequent document producers to break out of the mundane and common clipart and designs that they have used for years. We have created our entire document production business, including our Exact Print(SM) software and our one-of-a-kind centralized digital production facility, to allow users to get maximum printed impact from the kind of quality images that BizPresenter offers."
