On the decision Vimlesh, director, Laxman Print-O-Graphics said, “We finalised on the Canon and Oce presses after comparing the various machines available in this segment. With these two presses, we will try to increase our commercial printing capabilities and also slowly start focusing towards the photo-printing market.”

“The short-runs are getting shorter day by day. Earlier, people used to print marketing brochures, visiting cards and catalogues in bulk using offset technology. However, now the logistics and storage costs have forced the companies to rely on Print on Demand. In the last one year, the total A4 prints at our facility have seen a 100% growth,” he added.
