“Notably, these clients are projected to consume an estimated monthly average of 50,000-sqmt of plates from our offerings. This impressive achievement underscores the value and appeal of our solutions within the industry,” Akshat Pardiwala of Nippon Color said.

At Print Expo 2023, the company showcased its CTCP plates and double-layer thermal plates. 

“Our primary objective at the expo was twofold: to cater to our existing clientele and to connect with potential new customers. As part of our holistic approach, we are exploring the idea of bundling our Cron CTP machines with our top-quality plates. This strategic synergy aims to accelerate ROI and deliver enhanced value to our customers,” Pardiwala said.

He said the standout feature of the CTCP plates revolves around their impressive run-length capabilities. With the ability to generate over 100,000 impressions as a baseline, this count can be further extended to 300,000 impressions with baking.

“However, the real gem among our offerings is the double-layer thermal plates. Known for their exceptional quality, these plates boast compatibility even with UV inks. In the realm of Cron CTP machines, they shine as an incredibly cost-effective solution. Their minimal maintenance requirements and reduced downtime significantly contribute to operational efficiency,” he added.

He said Nippon is actively driving the sustainable advancement of the printing industry through strategic measures. “We’ve expanded our portfolio to include innovative digital printing and finishing solutions, effectively removing the necessity for plates and dies,” he added,” In addition, we’re enthusiastic advocates of Fujifilm’s Processless Thermal CTP plates. By eliminating an entire process, substantial benefits are reaped, spanning reduced consumption of resources, waste reduction, energy conservation, and space optimisation. These efforts collectively align with our commitment to sustainability within the industry.”

Pardiwala said Nippon Color has a dedicated office in Chennai, equipped with a team of skilled engineers exclusively focused on after-sales service. “Going forward, our intensified approach involves increased engagement and proactive follow-up with the leads we’ve garnered from the exhibition. This heightened activity underscores our commitment to establishing and nurturing lasting relationships with potential clients in the region,” he concluded.
