Ravi Teja, proprietor of Shri Lakshmi Kalyani International, said, “Though we are relatively new in the market, our root dates back to around two decades when my father started the printing business. Our current profile is all about printing and production of AEC documents and graphics for students of engineering and architectural colleges and institutes across Andhra Pradesh and beyond.”
According to Teja, Shri Lakshmi boasts a production facility with an array of advanced digital production presses, among which, the newly installed ImagePress V700 is running efficiently to deliver sharp graphics and print outputs to the utmost satisfaction of clients. “Advanced features and capabilities of this Canon digital press are incredible,” he said.
He added, “Being the first Canon digital press at our facility, ImagePress V700 is a new marvel for us that we are exploiting its capabilities bit by bit. We are satisfied with the press’ overall performance, including its faster media switching times. This compact Canon press delivers absolutely good quality prints embodying sharp lines and exceptional graphic textures.”
Now standing in a compact footprint at Shri Lakshmi Kalyani International’s production facility to deliver outsized performance, the ImagePress V700 is remarkable for its productivity and flexibility. Flexibly, it takes in a broad array of media starting from 52- up to 350-gsm, delivering prints in resolution of 2400x2400-dpi at 71-ppm. The press is embedded with Server P400 to boost colours, image quality and optimise production. It’s also bundled with POD feeding option to hold up to 3500 sheets of up to 330x487-mm in size.
“Currently, we are a small team including my brother Chaitanya who is taking care of many tasks. We are now on the way to increase our manpower, client base, and machine portfolio. With the installation of the ImagePress V700, barely three months back, we have been gaining new grounds in printing high-quality AEC graphics. We are grateful to Canon India for the machine and post-press service support they provide us unconditionally, anytime,” Teja concluded.
