Color Dots Prepress Studio, the New Delhi-based firm is the Pre-Press Company of the Year.

This honour recognises Color Dot’s financial performance, its innovations and long-term success opportunities. This is the first PrintWeek India Award for the company.

The company situated in the Okhla Industrial Area boasts of solid financial returns during 2011-12 on capital employed and a net profit that is pegged at 44.59% and 8.46% respectively. That’s not all. It has also reported a current ratio of 1.54:1 in this year.

Established in 2003 as a computer-to-film (CTF) service bureau, the owner Tarun Chopra with a team of five, set out to provide customer service to the printers in Delhi with positives that deliver superior quality prints.

In the next four years, the company added digital proofing and CTP services to its offering. Today the company has a staff of 15 and its head, Chopra is India’s second Ugra certified expert for PSO with experience for setting up printing presses for compliance to international printing standards.

Besides this, Color Dot also claims to be one of the only pre-press house in India, which can produce plates for 10-micron printing as well as staccato screening commercially.

Chopra believes quality pre-press service can assure you the three ‘R’. “Reduce press downtime due to inconsistent imaged plates; reduce press downtime due to inconsistent data handling; and reduce press downtime due to inconsistent colour management issues.” He advises printers to use their presses to do something that it is supposed to do. “Print,” he says.

Color Dots has grown from a film service provider to a complete CTP solution and service provider. It has also installed a digital print production press, with which it intends to position its digital services for challenging print proofing segment.

Chopra says, “In the past five years we have achieved remarkable success and demonstrated enormous growth potential. We believe that our broad portfolio of pre-press and digital services, our innovative leading technologies, our superior execution and a promising print market, positions us well for the future.”
