N Arvind of Vinayaka Digital Press (VDP) has installed the Canon 7010VP ten days ago at the J P Nagar unit (South Bengaluru). Already, he is pleased with the performance in comparison to the Bizhub.

When asked why he preferred the Canon, he said, "ImagePress is one of the toner-based press to produce tints that look like inkjet output. This is good for a set of brands who are our regular customers." 

He added that uptime is as important to productivity as speed and he believes handling colour with pre-press can improve that.

"Pre-press is the key," said Anand. "At VDP on the new Canon we hope to get the colour right the first time. I believe this will save time in production and reduce re-prints. It’s no longer in the eye of the minder, it’s an unquestionable advantage plus a huge cost and time saver."

30-year old Arvind, the son of two government employees, is a case in point about how someone with humble beginnings can create a niche in the print business. Nine years ago, this aspiring cricketer (opening bat and wicket-keeper for a local cricket club) started a basic stationery dealer. Since those early days, VDP has now grown. Presently there are two units at a distance of 100 metres from each other. 


The Canon is housed in the main unit of 400 sq/ft which serves as a walk-in store with pre-press design capabilities plus digital equipment; as well as finishing solutions that include cutting, binding and lamination.

The second unit of 400 sq/ft houses VDP's eco-solvent wide format kit from Roland and a solvent large format kit from Apsom for outdoor displays and signages.VDP notched eye-balls due to the glow sign board campaign they printed and fabricated for Syndicate Bank at Gandhi Nagar in Bengaluru. It was a eight feet wide by 80 feet long campaign.
 
With a lean team of eight to ten, VDP hopes to create a name for itself so that it can command a price. The firm that caters to 200 customers; believes in the adage: "Be friendly with everyone. Give respect to your customers."
