Great PrintEx03 deals from CyraChrome

PrintEx03 is an exhibition of sentimental value to CyraChrome since it was the fledgling company’s first trade exhibition back in 1999. With a huge PacPrint in-between and having just celebrated its fifth birthday, CyraChrome is exhibiting at PrintEx03 on Stand #65 with double the space it had in ‘99.


“As was the case in 1999, we are at the rear of Hall 1, close to the bars and cafes. It’s a similar position but this time we have taken the whole island of stand 65,” says marketing director Andy McCourt (pictured). “And to celebrate further, nothing on our stand will be at list price. We believe in adding value to your visit and this will be reflected in the deals we will be offering and negotiating for the duration of PrintEx03.”

And what will these deals be, asks Print 21Online?

“My understanding is that some of our erstwhile competitors also read this online bulletin, “ McCourt smiles. “So if you don’t mind, I’d like to keep our powder dry until May 29th. Rest assured the savings and incentives will be highly attractive and the byword for our sales people will be ‘negotiate’.”

CyraChrome’s aim is to put some ‘Show’ back into the trade show business.

“For a printer, designer or publisher to take time out from his work or leisure to attend Printex he or she must be rewarded with value. This can be in knowledge gained, trends spotted, technology fixes or cold hard cash savings. CyraChrome intends to deliver a combination of all of these.

"PrintEx03 is a great exhibition and I believe the timing is just right for the industry. Investment has been slow for the past 6 months and there is a lot of pent-up demand out there. Our intention and commitment is to do business at the show, with customers getting great benefits that will last for a long time after,” McCourt concludes.

The number ‘five’ looms large for CyraChrome. Five years old, five product groups, stand sixty-five and the release of version 5.0 of its flagship ORIS ColorTuner proofing Rip.


Highlights of stand 65 are:
  • New Canon large format printers from A3 to B0, including the first Australian look at the new Bubblejet W8200, a 44” (1118mm) inkjet printer that becomes a B0 proofer when driven by ColorTuner 5.0. Canon W7200 and W7250-based ColorTuner proofers are 3DAP approved.
  • A pigment-ink version of the Canon W8200 aimed at the signage, digital art and display markets
  • The new larger-format SpinJet imposition proofers. Adding to the success of the 36” SpinJet 1000, CyraChrome will feature a model using the HP 5500 engine, available in 42” and 60” widths. New materials from DuPont extend SpinJet’s applications into the dual-sided signage area.
  • ColorTuner version 5.0 will be driving Epson 2100, 7600 and 9600 printers for 3DAP approved contract proofs. ColorTuner can also be seen on Epson’s own stand.
  • ORIS Workflow and Page PDF editing from CGS Publishing Technologies, will be demonstrated on both the CyraChrome stand and the Ferag stand, linked to a Luescher XPose! 130 CtP device.

  • Doctor Graphics inkjet media – samples and swatchbooks will be available for this ISO 9001 approved media that represents great value as well as quality.
  • RealTime Proof – this online proofing system will be regularly demonstrated in the mini-theaterette on stand 65.
