Guwahati's City Offset pushes boundaries with Ricoh

 

Going by its offset printing background, Guwahati's City Offset is just a conventional offset printer in town. However, the company continues to transform itself by investing in new and modern machines to tap fresh market domains. The printer has pushed its digital printing boundaries with the purchase of a new Ricoh Pro C7200x digital color production press from Monotech Systems. Based out of Adabari in Guwahati, City Offset has been a cozy printing corner for customers from different market domains as well as industrial clusters over the last couple of decades.

“Geographically, we are pretty much confined in Guwahati. However, some of our clients come to us from other cities and towns of Assam as well as some neighboring North-Eastern states,” says Mrinal Chatterjee, proprietor, City Offset, adding, “We always attempt to please our customers with complete end-to-end printing solutions using diverse technologies, so is why we have added the Ricoh Pro C7200x.”

The machine portfolio of City Offset consists of a line of mini offset presses, digital multifunction printers, and others. “When it comes to digital printing, we used to run digital production presses from other brands. After we brought home the new Ricoh Pro C7200x, we rely on this press for every digital task. It has been amazing to intensify digital printing to a whole new level,” Chatterjee says. He says the new Ricoh digital press has whole new features to further explore and exploit.

Chatterjee says the advanced features of the press such as the fifth color station is what “we have to further explore for going beyond the basic CMYK printing.” Likewise, this press has many other unconventional features such as productivity, flexibility, speed and print resolution, he says.

Featuring the fifth color station, the Ricoh Pro C7200x can pull off vivid color printing, closely comparable to offset quality. This station is designed for printing neon colors for a high-impact blend with the usual CMYK. “We were impressed with all these outstanding features of the Ricoh digital color production press,” Chatterjee says, adding they hope to get new customers who would surely be amazed by the print outputs and capability of the Ricoh Pro C7200x.

The Ricoh Pro C7200x can produce print detail in industry-leading resolution of 2400×4800 dpi on a broad range of light and heavyweight stocks up to 360 gsm. “We are now capable of improving print quality and speed following the purchase of the Ricoh press from Monotech,” Chatterjee says. The Ricoh Pro C7200x is a high-speed digital color production press, engineered to run at the maximum speed of up to 95 ppm (pages per minute) with an expansive 16,200-sheet maximum paper capacity for longer runs.

Backed by a team of more than 25 printing staff, which include graphic designers, DTP operators, machine men and others, City Offset is fully optimistic to determine what they can offer to their customers on the digital front using the new Ricoh Pro C7200x.

  Calgary-based on-demand print and information solutions provider WCD recently used Drytac Protac AMP film with microban antimicrobial protection on a specialist project to help prevent the spread of Covid-19 among workers at a local distributor’s warehouse. WCD was tasked with planning, designing, and construction business WII Projects Calgary to create a café/kitchen experience for the business, overhaul the facility’s look, and ensure maximum protection for staff using the refreshment area. The primary challenge for WCD centered around the protection element, with the company having to source a material that would help cut the risk of the virus spread among workers using the facility while at the same time not impacting the look of the new images or surfaces underneath. WCD opted for Drytac Protac AMP, a unique clear textured polyester surface protection film with microban antimicrobial protection, which significantly reduces the chance of mould growth and bacterial contami...
