Kolkata’s Image Print gets another RICOH to boost production
As demands for quality digital prints surge at Image Print in Kolkata, the company has tackled it well with additional installation of a new RICOH Pro C5310S digital colour production press in its production facility. Now, the facility is running two highly-productive RICOH Pro digital colour production presses—RICOH Pro C7200x and the newly installed RICOH Pro C5310S—both supplied and installed by Monotech Systems, a leading machine manufacturer and one-stop solution provider for the printing and packaging industry globally.
Situated in Kolkata’s famous Dalhousie Square, Image Print is one of the crowded commercial printing corners in the City of Joy. The company is the brainchild of young and enthusiastic entrepreneur Danish Rahman, who has a passionate zeal of printing. He was barely a B.Com final year student when he opened Image Print in 2004. “Actually, Image Print was opened as a meager print shop. However, we never stop upgrading ourselves with the gradual installations of ideal machines. We indulge in printing and production of commercial prints for corporate brochures, fliers, annual reports, etc,” says Danish Rahman, Founder of Image Print.
He adds, “Installations of the RICOH digital colour production presses from Monotech Systems have eventually upgraded our production facility to meet the increasing demands for premium commercial prints. Over the last few months, we received tremendous demands for digital prints from our customers. That’s the reason why we have added the new RICOH Pro C5310S, complementing the existing RICOH Pro C7200x that has advanced and unique features like 5th Color Station and others.”
He continues, “Our purchase of the RICOH Pro C7200x from Monotech Systems in the early 2022 marked a big turning point for us as the digital press eventually turned us into a player now resiliently capable to fulfil high-quality and innovative graphic prints from our quality-conscious customers from different market segments and industrial clusters. When the demands from our customers surged, we took the decision of purchasing another digital production press from Monotech Systems and that’s how we embarked upon the RICOH Pro C5310S.”
RICOH Pro C5310S is indeed an ideal digital colour production press capable to print brilliant graphics at the speed of 80 ppm (pages per minute). It can take up a broad range of media, lightweight as well as heavyweight, up to 360 gsm and paper sizes up to 13×19.2 inch. Graphic prints produced on the RICOH Pro C5310S are of 2400×4800 dpi resolution which is highest in the industry. “We had earlier used a Konica Minolta bizhub Pro C6500 digital production press. However, our real game for speed and quality print production has begun only after the installations of the RICOH presses,” narrates Danish.
He further mentions that the RICOH Pro digital production presses from Monotech Systems have become trusted companions for them to fulfil every demand, desire and volume of prints from their valued customers. Image Print boasts a league of corporate customers from different market and industrial domains. The league consists of big brands and eminent corporate biggies like Aditya Birla Group, SNJ Group, one of the main sponsors of Chennai Super Kings at Indian Premier League (IPL), to name a few.
Danish says the Image Print’s team of 15 highly proficient printing professionals feels fully empowered to produce any print quality and volume at any given time or circumstance. He further says, “All our achievements today wouldn’t have been possible without Monotech Systems and machines they supply to us with their all time after-sales service support. We look forward to strengthening this partnership in future with a lot more progressive developments on our digital printing front.”
