“Almost 90% of our activities devote to printing and production of luxury wedding invitation cards,” mentions Harshit Parimi, Partner at Nirmala Cards & Stationery.

At the division, Harshit is joined by his younger brother Giridhar Parimi which he calls it a combined force of ‘Parimi Brothers’.
‘Nirmala Colours’—an extension of Nirmala Cards & Stationery—is just another special unit for specialised wedding cards. “Our main aim is to produce such wedding cards that inimitably impress guests and remain as a memorable piece for the couples,” tells Harshit. He mentions that RICOH Pro C7200x’s highly-advanced features like the 5th Color Station surpass what usual CMYK-presses could do in
adding head-turning effects on graphic prints using extra special colour gamut.
Certainly, capable to operate at the speed of 85 ppm (pages per minute), RICOH Pro C7200x delivers high-value applications in industry’s leading print resolution of 2400×4800 dpi and extra special colors using the dexterity of its Fifth Color Station. “White, Gold, Silver, Clear, Neon Yellow, Neon Pink and IVR toner colour capacity of this RICOH press has opened up tremendous creative opportunities for us,” remarks Harshit, adding that it outstandingly takes on a broad range of light and heavyweight media comprising metallic, dark, magnetic, adhesive, synthetic, etc, weighing up to 360 gsm, and even oversized sheets up to 13×49.6 inch are also supported.
“In addition to the RICOH Pro C7200x, we are running another RICOH digital production press from Monotech Systems, which is a RICOH Pro 8300s for high-volume monochrome print production,” mentions Harshit. He continues, “Our digital capacity and offset ability with a line of 4-colour, 2-colour Mitsubishi presses and Heidelberg finishing machines is an amalgamation of two technologies which eventually helps us produce not only luxury wedding cards but also other elegant products like brochures, catalogues, calendars, retail magazines, etc.”
