Autoprint.

If we gave you a blank cheque what would you buy at Ipex South Asia? Name two products. One digital press from HP and the new Konical Minolta C70hc.

If you could be born either a great print technocrat + expert or a very rich print CEO, which one would you choose? You can’t say ‘both’.
The former.

CMYK. I’ve learned and worked with it. I think it produces better results.

That digital has arrived. No display of offset machines, barring one.

Drupa, one which educates you.

Drupa, but naturaly.

If you were the last printer left on earth, what would you do?
I would not want to be left alone. Don’t know what I’d produce without competition.
