A popular commercial printing corner for customers from different sectors, Amazing Graphics at Shastri Nagar in New Delhi is competent in producing high-quality POD (print-on-demand) products using a newly installed RICOH Pro C7200X digital colour production press. While for Bilwara-based Mudit Printers & Stationers, boosting the visual appeal of simple printed materials as higher-value products is the main aim, as it brings home a PixelGlow digital UV and foiling machine. Both the machines at these printing establishments have been provided from Monotech Systems.
With its extensive footprints across the domestic and global markets, Monotech Systems is one of the leading manufacturers and solutions providers for the printing and packaging industry. PixelGlow is one of its popular brand designed and developed in India.
“Expansion of our machine portfolio with the addition of PixelGlow, which is a marvellous and exciting digital UV and foiling system, is one of our key steps to take the quality of graphic prints to a whole new level,” says Mr Naman Toshniwal, CEO, of Mudit Printers & Stationers on the recent acquisition. “In fact, after the purchase of this highly cost-effective digital print enhancement machine from Monotech Systems we are capable and confident to varnish and embellish our printed products for added visual appeal which we have never done before. PixelGlow gives us the freedom to turn our imaginative innovations into reality,” he adds.
Established in the year 2000 as a brainchild of Mr Arun Toshniwal, Mudit Printers & Stationers has gained its fame and fortune in commercial printing over the years with the capture of big chunks of happy customers that comprise both product manufacturers and retailers around Bhilwara and many other cities and towns of Rajasthan. “My father is the man who follows a tradition of quality’. His vision is to make our customers happy with the quality we offer,” says Mr Arun Toshniwal’s son, Mr Naman Toshniwal, the CEO of Mudit Printers & Stationers.
Designed accurately and reliably for high-speed UV foiling, PixelGlow allows Mudit Printers & Stationers to offer its customers high-quality prints with tangible dimensions and special 3D effects that standout amid the crowds and differentiate them from competitors. Capable to deploy both hot and cold foil films on various digitally printed substrates, PixelGlow embellishes graphics up to 330x480mm, larger than the usual A3 size. It compatibly takes up materials ranging from 135gsm to 700gsm with a maximum thickness of 300 microns.
“So far, the UV enhancements we have done on our printed products using PixelGlow bring excitement to our customers,” remarks Mr Toshniwal, adding that the machine has triggered the production team of Mudit Printers & Stationers with a new power of creativity to add speciality colours, coatings, and embellishments on end products which eventually make them uniquely attractive. Mudit Printers & Stationers has a team of 12 highly experienced printing and production professionals.
The production facility of Mudit Printers & Stationers is equipped with a portfolio of machines comprising digital presses, plotters and others. Mr Toshniwal says the addition of PixelGlow digital UV and foiling system from Monotech Systems has made the portfolio rather complete as it can now meet the special demands such as spot UV embellishments and other innovative print enhancements from their ever-demanding customers.
Main products which Mudit Printers & Stationers offers include barcode stickers, tags, business cards, catalogues, architectural drawings, wedding cards, gloss & matte photos and others. “Bhilwara is a textile hub which is generally termed as ‘Textile City’. So, our client list consists of a handful of textile manufacturers for whom we provide garment tags, product catalogues, etc. These manufacturers are over excited when we introduce them garment tags and other items embellished on PixelGlow,” says Mr Toshniwal, adding conclusively that Mototech Systems is deserving praise for such machine and their committed after-sales technical support.
RICOH PRO C7200X at Delhi’s Amazing Graphics
A popular commercial printing corner for customers from different sectors, Amazing Graphics at Shastri Nagar in New Delhi is competent in producing high-quality POD (print-on-demand) products using a newly installed RICOH Pro C7200X digital colour production press.
On the purchase of the new RICOH Pro C7200X, Mr Anup Kumar, Proprietor, Amazing Graphics, says, “This RICOH digital colour production press is a game changer for us. I say ‘game changer’ because, after the installation of this digital production press, we have tremendously changed the way we enhance the quality and production volume of POD products.” He adds that the press is an ideal machine for high-capacity digital colour printing for short-run production of crisp images on heavily textured media.
Amazing Graphics has been growing from one level to another over the years since its establishment over two decades ago in the year 1999. Recalling their early days, Mr Kumar shares, “At the onset, we started merely as a reprographic centre engaging only in photocopy job. We were simply known to our customers as ‘Xerox centre’ or ‘photocopy shop’ because our main activity was predominately photocopying of documents such as study materials for students, office documents for local public and private firms, personal items like cards, property papers, etc.”
Mr Kumar continues, “As the time went by our works and service at Amazing Graphics had been gradually recognised and acknowledged among many people and professionals who came not only from Shastri Nagar or central Delhi areas but also from every nook and corner of NCR. We had witnessed a tremendous increase in demand for quality POD products from some of our clients who are quality conscious and expect innovative graphic outputs from us.” He adds that they then managed everything with some MFPs (multi-function printers) such as Xerox C315 and others.
When the demands further poured in for higher quality POD products like labels, stickers, business cards and so on, Mr Kumar felt the dire need for an advanced digital production press. He immediately engaged in a mission to hunt for the required machine. After a stint, his hunt came to a halt at Monotech Systems where he embarked upon the RICOH Pro C7200—an advanced digital production press ideally engineered for premium quality short-run printing to appease demanding customers.
Impressed with the unique features and prowess of the RICOH Pro C7200, Mr Kumar remarks, “We were certainly in need of this digital colour production press to deal with our quality-conscious customers.” Amazing Graphics has been working for some eminent book publishers such as McGraw Hill and others. For them, the company prints on-demand books. In this, Mr Kumar says, “Book publishers in our client list are now happy and satisfied with the outputs of RICOH Pro C7200 which flawlessly prints colourful book covers as well as inside pages in CMYK.”
Combining the competencies of speed and quality, RICOH Pro C7200 is an ideal colour production press for producing high-quality prints in the industry-leading resolution of 2400 x 4800 dpi. What it can take up is a wide range of stocks, comprising both light and heavyweight media up to 360 gsm, to produce crisp and colourful prints at the speed of 85 ppm (pages per minute). Mr Kumar conclusively says RICOH Pro C7200 has been a benchmark for Amazing Graphics to print POD products that stand out amid the crowd and he is thankful to Monotech Systems forsuch machine and an all-time supportive after-sales service.
