The initial ‘showroom focus’ for Apex will be on the Konica Minolta C7000 colour press, before rolling out marketing programmes on the C6000 and C8000. The company has also stated it will concentrate on helping customers evolve their colour management efficiency and quality, for both litho and digital output.
Handforth concludes: “Our support team have a detailed understanding of front-end colour issues from their work with CTP equipment in all formats. That knowledge will be invaluable to print businesses moving into digital production, and it will certainly enable Apex to have a major advantage over many suppliers in this sector.”
