ricmfree Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hello everybody sorry for my English I'd like to know if someone owns a Drylab APEX Kodak Adaptive Picture Exchange System I want to change my minilab and I'm interresting by apex I don't have lot of production but I need it. Are you satisfied with the pictures? is 4x5 inch format (for 4 / 3) exist? is it expensive? thank you for your answers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 APEX does not do 5x4 only 6x4, 5x7, 8x6, 10x8 & 12x8 the quality is similar to the 86xx printers but satin is available too. the media cost should be cheaper - if it isnt i would not have changed. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRITE Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 APEX is a solution for the future of minilbs.The quality is FANTASTIC and you get two finishes without changing media.In India many small optical minilabs have switched to APEX and are happy. Do not look only at print cost ,but consider other savings such as lower power consumption,no chemical inventory,reduced paper inventory,less floor space compared to a minilab,no darkrooms/darkbags and if you have a suitable UPS you can even operate it when there is no power. The basic PC is usually a Lenovo which means backup and recovery is dead easy(no expensive technician bills) the operating software is really easy to use and if you can keep your shop dust free even the printers will give you good service. On a sad note you may have to downsize your staff Regards and Cheers Contact me if you still have doubts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpcrichard Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 In what way has it transformed your business and what lab were you using before the apex lab. Thanks Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Hi I used to have a Gretag Materlab, the Apex is cheaper to run, requires no chemical, has increased my product range, reduced my labour overheads and because it links to Kodak kiosk it drives the business itself!!
