The company recently also installed the Heidelberg Speedmaster SM 102 8-P, a remarketed eight-colour press from Heidelberg India to their press floor.
“The decision to add the Suprasetter 106 to our pre-press settings was made keeping in mind the future influx of jobs and addition to our press and post-press capacity,” said R Karthik, director, Multivista. “This adds close to 250% of additional plate-making capacity in comparison to our existing setup. This means very quick plate-making time,” added Karthik.
The Suprasetter 106 is also equipped with the latest Prinect software workflow and an enhanced Signa station pagination software.
The Speedmaster SM 102 comes with the perfecting option, which is a key differentiator for publishing jobs and has production speeds of up to 15,000 sheets per hour. The press can handle substrates ranging in thickness from 0.03 mm - 1.00 mm (0.0012 in - 0.039 in) with a maximum print format of 710 mm x 1,020 mm (27.95 in x 40.16 in).
“We are confident about the growing demand for our specialised offering in book printing and further investments are being planned with the strategy of differentiating ourselves from the competition globally,” Karthik concluded.
