Just before BART COIGNAU left the hall of Protea Leadway Hotel venue of this Year’s AGFA 2013 FREE PLATE TRAINING, WHERE To Print caught up with him to know more about the amiable plate specialist. Below is excerpt:
WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT THE INTEREST LEVEL OF THE PARTCIPANTS AT THE TRAINING TODAY?
The interest level is quite high, though the participants were a bit reserved. I think it could be more fun but on the other hand, the interaction was strictly professional. I mean the interaction was basically on their business and the future of their various organisations. In fact, the participants at this AGFA CTP PLATE Training are the most serious-minded group of businessmen I have ever been privileged to meet.
HOW CAN YOU NOW ASSESS PRINTING INDUSTRY IN NIGERIA?
With the group of people available for today’s lecture, I can say Nigeria printing industry is made up of people with good business sense and fighting spirit for quality and best business practices in the print market. Talking about the printing industry, Nigeria is a booming market with good things to come but I think the electricity could be more stable. I like it here. It’s a completely different world on its own.
WHAT IS THE EDGE AGFA HAS OVER OTHER CTP MANUFACTURERS?
