Established in September 2018, Kaagaz Press initiated operations with a pre-owned Heidelberg press and Technova Thermostar T9 platesetter, Apogee imposition software and an in-house bindery set-up for soft-cover and hard-case binding.

Speaking to PrintWeek India, Narendra Ballar of Kaagaz Press, said, “A significant amount of printing work that we do is short-run. Moreover, the customers demand digital proof before they five a green signal for the production. This has prompted us to add digital printing capabilities to our operations.”

Kaagaz Press’s Konica Minolta C6100 will be equipped with EFI Fiery Color Profiler Suite to manage the colour output of the press.

Jitendra Kalani of Kaagaz Press, explained, “The idea is to make sure that press profiles are up to date and digital presses are properly calibrated. This colour management tool will enable us to print our digital output in sync with the offset machine. This is very important when you are catering to the textile market in Surat. And hence the EFI Fiery Color Profiler Suite makes a lot of sense.”

“We searched the market and found Konica Minolta to be the best fit for our needs not only because of the machine capabilities of the machine but also because of service support system that TechNova brings along with its association.”

 S Swarnangka, chief marketing officer, TechNova, said, “We sincerely believe in a hyper-hybridised world of offset and digital. We are excited to serve companies like Kaagaz which are bringing new energy with digital in their core offset capabilities. This resonates with our theme – enhance offset and integrate digital.”
