The celebration will take place on 9-10 November at Apex's new Hemel Hemp-stead office on Maxted Road. On show will be the five-colour B2 Ryobi 755 (pictured) plus coater, the four-colour B3 524GX and the 3404X-DI.

Apex will invite visitors to bring their own work to the event for live-testing on the Ryobi presses.

"They can test both products with their own work and then decide which printing solution is right for their business," said Apex sales and marketing director Neil Handforth.

Also being showcased are the Apex pre-press demonstration suite, which includes a range of metal and polyester platemaking products from Screen and Esko-Graphics.

"The extra demonstration space we have means that we can now show all of the options at one time," said Apex joint managing director Bernard Parker.

"It's been a busy three years since we took on the Ryobi products," added Apex joint managing director Bob Usher.

Apex officially opened its new 2,300sqm facility earlier this month and hosted an open week.
