K C Bhide Block Makers (KCBBM), Sudarshan Arts, Dezigner Enterprise, Pavan Plastics and DPM Printers, all five Pune-based firms, have added Ricoh digital production presses to boost production capacity.
KCBBM has installed Pune’s first Ricoh Pro C901 GA+ press. Amit Bhide director of KCBBM, said, “We had already invested in a Ricoh 751EX and 901EX digital production press in 2012. We felt that we should upgrade our service. We hope to improve our quality, which we provide to our customers.”
Bhide added, “The Pro C901 GA+ press is capable of printing on 350gsm and we have already crossed more than one lakh impressions.”
In 2012, the company launched a web-to-print portal Art&PrintShop to enable online printing of personal, promotional, commercial, and informational print products such as business cards, letterheads, flyers, catalogues, brochures, etc.
“Art&PrintShop aims to cater to the print requirements of artists, freelance designers, small and medium businesses, or anyone who needs print materials in small or bulk quantities. It helps you capitalise on the advantages of the digital age,” concluded Bhide.
On the other hand, Dezigner Enterprise has invested in Pro C901 press. Imtiyaz Shaikh, director of Dezigner Enterprise, said, “Prior to investing in the Ricoh press, we did consider other options from Xerox but the Ricoh press was a perfect fit for our budget. Also it has a smaller footprint as compared to other devices. The customers have appreciated the quality produced by this press which can be seen by the fact that we have already produced more than three lakh impressions since its installation four months ago.”
