“This is a low investment digital finishing kit for commercial printers to add value to their products.Its application can also be extended to packaging printers to incorporate intricate designs by laser-cutting,” said Vishnuu Kamat, vice president – sales, AGS.

“Even if these are Chinese machine, the USP is that the service support is being handled by AGS.We have dedicated engineers trained at manufacturers end to take care of our installations,” concluded Kamat.
