The KnowzzleJet high-speed inkjet web press monochrome and colour are conceptualised, designed and developed in Inda by Monotech Systems, and has already proven its value to Arihant Publications in the short-run segment. Following the success of their two monochrome KnowzzleJet installations last year, the company has decided to invest in the advanced colour version to further bolster its production efficiency and flexibility.

Parvesh Jain of Arihant Publications expressed enthusiasm about the new investment, stating, “Our journey with the knowzzleJet has been remarkable. The monochrome version has exceeded our expectations, delivering a 6-7% growth in our short-run segment. With the addition of this high-speed colour inkjet web press, we are poised to double our short-run capacity within the next year.”

The KnowzzleJet colour inkjet press, equipped with the latest technology, promises high-quality colour printing at impressive speeds. Its capabilities include web widths from 8.5- to 26-inch and printing resolutions up to 1,600×1,600-dpi – the industry’s highest, making it an ideal solution for Arihant’s diverse range of book formats and sizes.

Arihant Publications' investment in this new press reflects the company's ongoing commitment to staying at the forefront of the publishing industry. The company’s impressive growth trajectory, with a current CAGR of 20%, and the construction of a second production plant highlight its strategic focus on expanding and enhancing production capabilities.

“The introduction of this colour inkjet press will significantly enhance our ability to meet the increasing demand for high-quality, short-run book production,” Jain added. “Our long-standing partnership with Monotech Systems has been instrumental in our growth, and we are excited to continue this collaboration with the addition of this advanced technology.”

Arihant Publications, a family-owned business with a team of 3,000 employees and a robust network of 26 branches remains dedicated to delivering the latest and most relevant educational content. The new colour inkjet press will play a crucial role in supporting the company’s mission to provide high-quality educational materials across a wide spectrum of subjects.

The KnowzzleJet’s installation at Arihant Publications is a testament to the company’s forward-thinking approach and its dedication to leveraging the best technology available to meet its production needs.
