Vinay Kaushal, director, Provin Technos, said, “The market mood appears to be very positive. In addition to the closed orders, the hot prospect list is very encouraging. If nothing external goes wrong, we are in for a very good FY 2017-18.”

The RMGT 925 five-colour plus coater press being demonstrated at Provin’s stand was picked up by Vadodara-based Ravi Printers on the first day of the show.

The machine will be shipped immediately after the show, said Kaushal.

Ravi Printers’ owner Anil Patel said, “We were looking to invest in a UV press which is suitable for packaging applications and comes fully loaded with automation. We saw several presses at Drupa and then started evaluating the technical specifications that the machine could offer. We found RMGT to fit the bill.”

The machine purchased by Ravi Printers is equipped with multi wavelength LED UV system, also supplied by Provin.

According to Kaushal, the multi wavelength LED can cure conventional UV inks with a LED lamp. “Therefore, Ravi Printers will be able to get the benefits of LED technology without having to spend on costly LED inks,” concluded Kaushal.
