Agfa Graphics to Host :Apogee Users Group Meeting at GRAPH EXPO

ELMWOOD PARK, NJ—October 3, 2012—Agfa Graphics (booth #627) announced today that the :Apogee Users Group meeting being held at GRAPH EXPO 2012 in Chicago is rapidly filling up. The meeting is scheduled for Monday, October 8, from 4:00 until 7:30 pm in room S502A in McCormick Place. At the meeting, :Apogee users will have an opportunity to preview the new :Apogee 8, participate in a user roundtable discussion, and pose questions to workflow experts.

"In our day-to-day 'just get it done' work environment there is little or no time to consider the tools we use," states Tim Rinkel, technical services manager, Davies Printing. "The :Apogee Users Group Meeting gives us the opportunity to sit back and discuss options, both current and future, with our peers. In particular, the Tips & Tricks segment helps resolve some of the issues that we often just let slide or didn't even realize we had."

Registration is required. To attend the meeting, please RSVP to Linda Tomza, Linda.tomza@agfa.com or call (201) 373-4185.
