The fourth Print Efficiently will take place at Apex Digital Graphics in Hemel Hempstead from 7-9, and the 21-23, October, 2014.

The collaborative event aims to demonstrate how equipment from multiple manufacturers can work in harmony in a workflow from conception to completion, and provide an educational forum to offer new ideas to printers regarding efficiency and profitability.

Two of last year’s core partners, Apex Digital and IFS, once again have central roles. Full details will be announced in the coming weeks, but visitors can expect to see Apex Digital presenting a UK first from Ryobi at the show, and there will be multiple product launches as part of a comprehensive range of finishing equipment from IFS. 

There will also be a programme of seminars focused on ‘real world’ solutions offering practical and unbiased business advice.

‘We’re really excited about PE2014,’ said Apex managing director Bob Usher. ‘We have taken some lessons from the first three events to make a better and more user-friendly show this time around. There will be exceptional equipment to see, but we’re also hopeful that visitors will leave the show with new ideas that can genuinely make a difference.’ 

Bryan Godwyn, Joint managing director of IFS agrees, and added, ‘Traditional trade shows are more about the ‘hard sell’, whereas Print Efficiently offers a more relaxed and collaborative environment where suppliers work together and the interests of the end user are to the fore.’

Products from over 30 manufacturers were featured at Print Efficiently 2013, and those returning for this year’s show include Ryobi, Konica Minolta, Horizon, KAS Paper Systems, Foliant, Petratto, Perfecta, Mitsubishi, VPress, PDC, Shuttleworth and Meler.
