Mark Rixon has joined Celmac as its national applications and colour specialist. In this newly created role, Rixon will enable Celmac customers to optimise their wide-format operations through ink and colour optimisation, applications efficiency and operator training.
Rixon will operate from the company’s Brisbane office and report directly to Celmac Queensland state manager Matt Hall.
Celmac managing director Wayne McIntyre said having Rixon on board will significantly add to the company’s range of services whilst partnering with print operators across Australia, and position the business for planned introductions and further growth.
With 14 years of industry experience in customer support roles and having extensive experience with colour management/profiling, project management, workflow optimisation, and technical support and training, Hall said Rixon was the perfect fit for this role.
“As a leading wide-format hardware and support organisation experiencing tremendous growth, particularly in the Queensland market, we have identified the requirement for a holistic approach to the sales and service functions that Celmac offers,” Hall said.
“With our industry becoming increasingly time-poor and margin stretched, our customers look to Celmac to assist with fine tuning their operations to enhance their competitive advantage through production efficiency and maximised profitability. Key to this is being able to provide a proactive rock-solid pre- and post-sales service offering.
“Whilst Celmac continues to provide a first-class technical repair service, we have extended our market offering by developing a specialist applications role within the business. This is a national role based in Brisbane, and is focused on enabling Celmac customers to optimise their wide-format operations through ink and colour optimisation, applications efficiency and operator training.
“We are proud to announce that Celmac has appointed Mark Rixon to this role. Mark is perfectly suited and will hit the ground running having over 14 years’ experience with high-end colour management, applications and customer support.”
Rixon has experience with key wide-format RIP systems and all major ink technologies including HP Latex, Resin, UV-Curable, Eco-Solvent and Dye-Sublimation.
“There’s a need for professional colour management and to have colour uniformity across devices. I have primarily worked in the colour management field, so my expertise lends itself well to this role,” Rixon added.
“I look forward to working with Celmac’s key customers and helping them with colour uniformity across their machines, as well as assisting them with any workflow challenges they face to get the most out of their machines.”
