Minesh Zaveri and Rutul Zaveri, partners of the firm feel that: "Being a 100% dedicated pre-press bureau for flexo packaging, we opted for Kodak Flexcel keeping in mind our motto of providing services through the best technology available. "

Pinmark caters to the pre-press needs for jobs in segments like FMCG, wide-web flexo, carry bags and other flexible packaging jobs. It was among the first tradeshop in India that installed Kodak Thermoflex platesetter in 2005.

"The Kodak Flexcel digital flexographic system eliminates all oxygen during UV exposure to produce full amplitude flat-top dots with sturdy bases and strong shoulders, unlike the traditional digital LAMS flexo platemaking where oxygen inhibition during UV exposure causes the dot profile to become rounded, especially in highlight areas," said Bhalachandra Nikumb, head - sales and channel management , India Cluster, Graphic Communications Group, Kodak.

Established 60 years ago as a block making unit, Pinmark has now moved out of pre-press for letterpress and litho with a complete focus on flexography. Pinmark ranks among one of the biggest Flexo trade shops in the country. The Zaveri brothers belong to the third generation in the family to handle the business.

"In terms of the market, the runs for litho has gone down drastically whereas flexo is witnessing an enormous growth. When it comes to technology, it is the only technology in printing that can provide a 0.4% dot in imaging," added Minesh. "Flexography is a genuine competitor to the gravure and litho process. We are recognising significant efficiencies with this process and the print quality from the Flexcel plate is outstanding."

Pinmark has clients all over India as well as in Nepal, Sri Lanka and African countries.
