PrintGuard, Inc. was founded in 1998 by President Daniel Rizika, a graduate of MIT and the United States Military Academy at West Point. Dan founded the company to design and manufacture niche products using his past expertise in the Glass Bead Film Technology.
Dan worked with Printers and discovered printers were losing money from both machine downtime and poor printing yield that results from wet ink smearing or marking on the freshly inked paper as it moves from one printing station to the next.The first product developed and sold was PrintGuard, a clear glass bead film that exhibited a perfect monolayer of glass beads adhered to a tough and durable polyester film.
