Sunder Printing Press chooses RICOH for quality, speed & productivity
Being an old bastion of commercial printing, Ambala Cantt (Haryana)-based Sunder Printing Press has been inherited through a lineage of generations in business, using strings of diverse printing technologies over the years on both offset and digital fronts. The company’s digital printing capacity is now escalated to a whole new level after the installation of a new RICOH Pro C7200x – 11 Color Digital Production Press from Monotech Systems, a leading machine manufacturer and one-stop solution provider for the printing & packaging industry globally.
Having been putting ink to paper since 1986, early days of Sunder Printing Press are dated back to the era of letter press. Barely using a treadle press, Ashok Gupta along with (Late) Shri Sunder Lal Gupta founded the company. “It’s the feeling of pride for me to be the youngest generation in the company today,” tells Ankit Gupta, Managing Partner at Sunder Printing Press. He adds that the company keeps upgrading across all parameters including its production team of 10 well-trained staff, fully-equipped post-production division, and full-fledged press section which has just upgraded with the addition of the groundbreaking RICOH Pro C7200x.
Ankit adds, “Over the years we have been into the printing and production of varieties of premium commercial products, such as special labels, tags, business cards, brochures, books, magazines, pamphlets, etc. For digital printing of these products, we were in pursuit of an additional advanced digital colour printing production press. When we found RICOH Pro C7200x at Monotech Systems, it turned out to be the exact machine we were looking for. Its advanced features and versatility fulfil all our requirements.”
He continues, “In fact, there are three things about the RICOH Pro C7200x which tick all our boxes. The three things are quality, speed and productivity. When we say quality which this RICOH digital press can deliver, all textures in graphic prints are crisp, flawless and unmatched by any usual four-colour press. Before this RICOH press, we were using another digital colour production press of other brand that to an extent failed to deliver the print quality and colour gamut we required.”
Other than common commercial items, Sunder Printing Press is comprehensively engaging in printing of special labels and such products with additional lustre and look. For this, RICOH Pro C7200x has its added advancement with its 5th Toner Station, which is specially designed to deliver vivid colours as well as neon, metallic, clear and invisible red toner for high impact messaging or blending them with usual CMYK. “We require added texture and a broader color spectrum for printing special labels. However, we are confident in utilizing the RICOH Pro C7200x as it possesses the capability to deliver excellent results in this regard.” mentions Ankit.
Ankit further mentions that RICOH Pro C7200x ultimately helps them discover a new potential to add new glow and look in labels. “When we talk about special labels we produce, it includes the ones for wine bottles and cosmetics products for which the RICOH Pro C7200x is turned out to be the right and capable machine for premium quality prints,” he adds. He also mentions that the overall proficiency of this RICOH digital press is defined by many other salient features including speed and productivity.
Well, when it comes to salient features of RICOH Pro C7200x, this highly-advanced digital colour production press produces graphic prints at exceptional details in industry’s leading resolution of 2400×4800 dpi. It can operate at the speed of 85ppm (pages per minute). It can take up a board range of media weighing up to 360gsm and oversized sheet options for creative flexibility. Ankit conclusively says they are fortunate to find RICOH Pro C7200x from Monotech Systems whose support and co-operation are unconditional.
