Located on Mangamuru Road of Ongole city in Prakasam District of Andhra Pradesh, Harihara Internet & Xerox is a print shop for document printing and related services. The shop has upgraded its monochrome printing capacity with a brand new imageForce 8186 digital production press from Canon India, the new Canon.
Known for printing and production of legal documents, academic papers, and such items for customers from Ongole and its surrounding areas, Harihara Internet & Xerox provides high-quality and high-volume monochrome prints. T N V Raghu Kumar, proprietor of Harirara, says, “We predominantly provide monochrome prints to offices, academicians, and individuals. Color printing is also part of our offering, but in minimum volume as compared to monochrome.”
“When we started receiving high-volume monochrome print orders, we had to look for a brand new digital production press. Our search when we found the Canon iF 8186, a true monochrome digital production press packed with advanced features and capabilities. Following the arrival of the machine at our facility around three months back, there has been a tremendous improvement in speed and productivity of black & white prints.”
Designed with 5 core functions, viz. print, copy, scan, send, store, and optional fax, the iF 8186 is equipped with dual core processor, 10.1″ TFT LCD control panel, and 6.5 GB RAM storage. It operates at a maximum speed of 86 ppm (pages per minute) for A4-size pages and 44ppm for A3-size pages to print graphics in the resolution of 2400 x 2400 dpi using 32-beam R-VCSEL laser technology. The single-pass duplex automatic document feeder of the press handles up to 200 originals and scans up to 270 ipm (images per minute).
For non-stop operation, Canon imageForce 8186 boasts storage capacity starting from the standard 4360 sheets up to 9360 sheets. It supports coated, uncoated, pre-printed, and textured stocks of grammages ranging from 52g sm to 300 gsm. It is ideal for printing and production of academic books, manuals, legal documents, government files, technical documents.
According to Raghu, the arrival of iF 8186 has changed the print shop’s game of monochrome printing. “This new and highly-advanced Canon digital monochrome production press is perfect for producing bulk copies and documents.”
In addition to printing, other services available include scanning, lamination, spiral binding, document downloads, etc. Raghu says they serve as a one-stop shop for printing and all other related jobs to produce a string of end-products which their customers demand.
