RISO's Partnerships with Major Religious Denominations Enhance Ministry Communications at Local Church Level

  Churches from participating denominations receive rebates of up to
  $500 with the purchase or lease of a new RISO printer or duplicator
                       through December 31, 2008
DANVERS, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
RISO, Inc., a leader in digital printing technology, today
highlighted its partnerships with several of America's largest church
denominations. To further underscore these partnerships, RISO offers
manufacturer rebates to member churches that purchase RISO printers or
duplicators, along with other benefits such as RISO's advanced
services and customer support.

   As part of its Religious Rebate Program, individual churches in
select denominations receive a manufacturer's rebate of up to $500
direct from RISO when they purchase or lease a new printer or
duplicator through December 31, 2008. Varying rebates will be applied
when purchases are made from a wide range of RISO printer models,
including the RZ220, RZ310, RZ390, RZ590, RZ990, MZ790, V8000 and
HC5000/HC5500.

   "We're pleased to offer the Religious Rebate Program to the
members of our denominational partners," said David Murphy, Vice
President of Marketing for RISO, Inc. "RISO has paid out about a
quarter of a million dollars in rebates to the churches in our partner
denominations. One reason why these groups have continued their
partnership with RISO through 2008 is because we can help their
members achieve their print ministry goals while staying within their
budgets."

   Besides the rebate, churches will also enjoy RISO's reliable,
versatile, and economical print technologies. RISO's various printing
products can help churches conserve energy, reduce waste, and utilize
environmentally-friendly inks. For instance, RISO's digital
duplicators, which recently earned ENERGY STAR status for their low
energy use, eliminate the extreme heat of toner-based copiers and are
more environmentally friendly. In a study comparing electricity
consumption, RISO digital duplicators showed 95 percent cost savings
over many toner-based copiers or MFPs.

   RISO's duplicators and printers are also ideal for large copy
volumes and offer flexible printing options, which accommodate the
needs of many religious organizations. Churches are able to print what
they need such as bulletins, newsletters, and other outreach
communications expediently and for a low cost, while helping the
environment. Thus churches are able to take their worries off of
printing and put their focus on making connections with their
congregations and community.

   Organizations that are already taking advantage of the partnership
include the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), The
Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS), United Methodist Church
(UMC), LifeWay Christian Resources/Southern Baptist, and Presbyterian
Church USA.

communications. The Webinar entitled "How to make the most of Easter
with Print Communications" will take place on Tuesday, February 12 at
