What Media One does

Media One (legal entity: Media One, Digital Imaging Solutions, LLC) is a U.S.-based value-added distributor of large format printing equipment, supplies, and support services, headquartered in Garden Grove, California. Founded in 2005 and backed by private equity firm American Pacific Group since February 2023, the company operates as a single-source channel partner to wide-format print shops across North America.

The revenue model combines one-time equipment and consumables sales, professional services for installation, training, and technical support, and an affiliate referral stream from a financing partnership with Dimension Funding. Distribution occurs through direct field sales for enterprise accounts, inside sales via phone and email (833-HELLO-M1), and a direct e-commerce storefront at mediaoneusa.com. The customer base is horizontally segmented across SMB, mid-market, and enterprise wide-format print shops, with secondary penetration into digital textile printers producing home décor, soft signage, and apparel. The company holds exclusive U.S. distribution rights for Mimaki's TX330 and TX330B textile pigment printing solutions, has expanded through the acquisition of Fisher Textiles, and operates a nationwide technical support footprint with strategically located technicians.
