Paras Printers unlocks productivity with Komori

Delhi-based Paras Printers has long been recognised as a bona fide printer of stationery items, books, and commercial graphics using a line of Komori presses, installed one after another at appropriate intervals. The latest is a brand-new Komori Lithrone G37. 

In 2012, Paras invested in their first Komori press — an Enthrone 29. After an interval of three years, the company went for the same model with same specifications. “We continuously invested in Komori presses because we needed to speed up deliveries as per our customers’ demands,” Vijay Jain, proprietor of Paras Printers, said.

Thereafter, Paras invested in two more Komori machines, including a new Lithrone G37 in early 2024. “We keep expanding our machine portfolio to meet the increasing needs for short-run applications from our customers,” Jain said, adding that the Komori presses are ideal for the task.

He added, “The Komori presses currently running in our facility have fast turnaround times and they are a perfect fit for short-run production. When it comes to producing between 500 and 5000 sheets, we term it ‘short run’ and we use Komori presses for that. For print volume beyond 5000 sheets, we use other presses at our facility where we have also recently added a pre-owned Heidelberg Speedmaster CD 74.” 

Since its establishment in 1994, Paras Printers has been engaging in multiple tasks. 

Jain said, “We started as a stationery supplier in Old Delhi’s Daryaganj, a hub for book publishers. After that, we engaged in printing with gradual investments in Komori and other presses.”

He added, “We have everything in-house under the roof of our production facility.”

Paras Printers’ pre-press and post-press units are equipped with efficient machines and equipment including six Screen CTP systems, Stahl folder, Welbound paper-cutting machine and perfect binder, and many others.

Paras Printers’ customers are a mixed bag of direct clients and jobbers in a ratio of 50:50. “We segregate our works into commercial and packaging. Nowadays, we are in carton box printing too. Our current conversion volume is around 50–60 tonnes every month,” Jain said.

With a team of more than 40 staff, Paras Printers works round the clock. Jain’s son Kshitiz Jain joined the business in 2012. He now actively looks after nearly 80% of the company’s overall activities. “Nowadays, timely delivery is the key as customers want it as per their schedules, not ours. That’s why we keep upgrading our facility with the Komori presses to deliver as per the schedules of our customers,” he said.

About the next-step plan, Vijay said the company is focused fully on packaging and UV is the company’s next-level technology. Optimistic about the exponential growth in business in future, he said the company hopes to double their current turnover by 2026.
