Vipul Jain, Managing Director, Chandni Industries, “The company had begun its journey in 1961 as a candle manufacturer, later moved to the printing business in 1980, catering to playing cards manufacturing segment. We are specialized in paper-printed playing cards, plastic cards, and customized playing cards.

The Heidelberg Suprasetter A106 CtP comes with maximum plate format of 930 height × 1,060 widths mm with resolution of 2,400 dpi and internal punches up to 4 pair. The modular design of the Heidelberg Suprasetter A106 provides Chandni Industries with maximum flexibility for the medium-size format range. The Intelligent Diode System (IDS) virtually eliminates production losses. An integrated cooling system prevents adverse impacts from external temperatures.
“We get good service support from Heidelberg, and the team is always available for troubleshooting, as Heidelberg is just a call away for any queries. In 2017, we invested in Heidelberg SM 74, the press had performed well, and the production output was beyond our expectations. Hence, we bought another Heidelberg SM 74 with a coater in 2020. Now, we purchased a Suprasetter CtP and Proman workflow from Heidelberg. After investing in Proman, we save a lot of time in pre-press; especially designing, step and repeat jobs with packaging design. Heidelberg’s Suprasetter and Speedmaster SM 74 presses have enhanced our productivity to a larger scale,” added Jain.
The Suprasetter model can also be upgraded with a Dual Cassette Loader (DCL) for fully automated operation. The DCL works with one or two plate cassettes for different plate formats and types. When using an Auto Pallet Loader (APL) be sure that the plate production is working with maximum efficiency because the APL can automatically load printing plates on a transport pallet.
The Prinect Production Manager workflow which has comprehensive set of tools to manage, assess and maintain print quality throughout the production chain. This includes comprehensive colour management, paper stretch compensation for precise registration, calibration manager to enable harmonic balance for print dot gain, colour tools for professional ICC-based colour transformations and proof-to-print matching, integration with offline pressroom inspection tools and quality assessment tools at every stage of production , from plate making and proofing to printing.
