PixelGlow turned out to be the right machine for both embossing and foil printing applications Klick was looking for.
Surat-based Klick Digital Press is a complete printing house, specialised in printing, embossing and 3D effects on photos. Its well-equipped production facility has been upgraded with the installation of a PixelGlow digital spot UV and foiling system. The PixelGlow has been manufactured and supplied by Monotech Systems, machine manufacturer & one-stop solution provider for the printing & packaging industry.
Born as a brainchild of Mr Bhavan Navapara, Klick Digital Press kicked off its business in professional photography in the year 1994. “Led by our founder Shri Bhavan, we started engaging in getting momentous memories printed in a chic manner. We launched ‘Silver Allied’ (dark room process)—a colour photo lab for printing and production of high-quality photos of different textures and sizes, right from passport size photos to wedding album photos,” mentions Mr Pravan Navapara, Partner, Klick Digital Press.
He adds, “Nowadays, clicking photos is as easy as breathing. One click of the shutter could capture hundreds of photographs which however lie unnoticeably on our smart-phones and computers. Such concern eventually led us to take on experiments of creating photo books as the right place for those photographs to stay physically and delightfully. This is how we came into full photo book business, investing in a line of highly sophisticated photography, printing and post-printing machines, among which is PixelGlow for special print enhancements.”
Having a right portfolio of advanced machines with customer-oriented policy, Klick Digital Press introduced its brand ‘Klick Photo Book’ for printing and production of high-quality photo books for clientele comprising professional and amateur photographers, photo studios, dealers, etc. “Today, we are all set with a complete in-house facility equipped with high-end machines such as HP Indigo 10000 Digital Press to print wedding photo albums, coffee table books, mini books, and others. And we are fully jazzed up about any print enhancement to be done on PixelGlow spot UV and foiling system,” tells Mr Pravan.
When asked about a specific reason for choosing PixelGlow from Monotech Systems, Mr Pravan replies, “When we keenly observed and surveyed the way our customers increased their demands for print enhancements to a new level, we were pretty sure for the need of a new machine that could do two things—embossing & foil printing—equivalently in one machine. After an extensive search, we finally found PixelGlow at Monotech Systems. It turned out to be the right machine for both the applications we were looking for. That’s why we immediately decided to choose it!”
