Ahrensburg, January 2001. From the classic of our time to the modern flipchart in a class of its own: even in the multimedia age, complete with beamers and the Internet, the flipchart has still not had its day. On the contrary, the mix of written and spoken words makes the flipchart the ideal medium for creating instant sketches of ideas and for holding constructive meetings – and that goes for the future too. Only the flipchart can create a sense of “live intensity” in the communication process that no other medium of visual communication can provide.

By presenting its new Silvertec series, Legamaster is using Orgatec to show how the consistent development of the classic of our time has resulted in a modern generation of flipcharts that are in a class of their own. All three models combine graceful design with maximum functionality. With their innovative aluminium/silver look and their fittings in black, each of these flipchart models is a genuine designer piece.

For the first time, the two top models, the Silvertec “mobil“ and the Silvertec “wave“, hold rolls of paper instead of the usual flipchart pads. Paper is guided upwards from below, with the advantages plain for all to see:

As you write, instead of getting lower and lower down the page, simply move the paper upwards a little. This enables you to continue writing whilst maintaining your posture. And there’s one more thing: you no longer have to suddenly break off from your list or your chain of arguments in mid-flow or squash words together simply because you are reaching the end of the page. Again, a gentle pull on the roll of paper is all it takes. If you want to concentrate on a different topic, you can simply tear off any chart you have written along the top edge of the paper clamp and secure it using magnets to the integral extendable side arms, visible for all to see (you can either use the left-hand or the right-hand arm). The paper clamp also doubles as a pen tray to hold your presentation markers, meaning that you can grab the pen you want without beating about the bush. One further innovation behind the “mobil“ and “wave“ designs is their slightly curved writing surface. This gives you the best possible support when you write. At all times.

The Silvertec “mobil“ guarantees you unrestricted freedom of movement thanks to its five lockable castors on a star base, enabling you to display your arguments exactly where you choose. The Silvertec “wave“ and the value-for-money Silvertec “eco“ model (accepts traditional flipchart pads) are designed with robust tripod stands. The Silvertec “mobil“ and Silvertec “eco“ are height-adjustable and can be adapted to suit any individual, short or tall. Like the “eco“ model, the “mobil“ and the “wave“ can also be used for standard pads of paper if you wish. All 3 models have a magnetic surface.
