Since its establishment around two-and-a-half years back, JN Digital has been a popular photo printing corner in Surat.

Sachin Shah, proprietor of JN Digital, said it serves customers from diverse market segments and different walks of life. “Most of our customers are from Gujarat and Maharashtra. Of them, some are reputed garment manufacturers and exporters based in Surat,” he added.

He said, “Most of the garments companies in our client list have special demands for unique printed items such as garment tags, product catalogues, fliers, etc. These days, demands in the photo printing market from different quarters have tremendously increased for high-quality prints which most of our customers expect from us — it could be either from the garment or photo labs segments.”

Shah said the company went for the Rico Pro C9200 from Monotech Systems to meet the growing demands for enhanced photo prints. “This advanced Graphic Arts Edition digital production press is flexible enough to produce photos in such quality and enhanced textures that we have never produced. Our customers are now convinced with the quality of prints and the gamut of colours we deliver using this new Ricoh digital press,” he said.

The Ricoh Pro C9200 is an ideally engineered colour production press, which can run at the highest speed of printing up to 115-ppm. Compatible with a broad range of stocks up to 470-gsm with a resolution of 2400x4800-dpi.

Shah said the photo printing market these days has changed a lot. It has changed in terms of demands escalating for high-quality prints from professional photographers and photo labs. “Our client list consists of a host of pro photographers from some of the highly reputed photo labs in the city and many parts of Gujarat. Even some of our photographer clients are from many cities and towns of Maharashtra,” he added.
