Significantly improving printing performance and excitedly increasing innovative print possibilities, Dhule-based Aakar Printpack is upbeat with the overall proficiency of Ricoh Pro C7200x. The Ricoh digital colour production press, now running productively at Aakar Printpack, was supplied and installed by Monotech Systems.

Since its inception over the last two decades or so, Aakar Printpack has been a popular player in commercial printing arena, offering diverse print applications such as marketing collateral, variable data prints, fliers, corporate brochures and many others. “More than anything else, we enjoy playing around little creativity and adding a bit of innovation to print outputs that eventually make our customers thrilled for flaunting their end-products distinctively amid the crowds and competitors,” says Ajay Sonawane, proprietor, Aakar Printpack. 

He adds, “Now, we redefine print innovations at a new level as our production facility is equipped with a fleet of high-end digital printing and finishing machines, which especially include the Ricoh Pro C7200x from Monotech Systems. Thanks to the Ricoh digital colour production press with advanced features! It has ultimately empowered us to heighten our capability to gratify our customers who constantly yearn for quality and innovation in print outputs.”

Driving print innovations to another level, the Ricoh Pro C7200x is an ideal digital colour production press with the ‘fifth color station’ which is ideally designed for additional white ink, neon pink and neon yellow. “We are now privileged with this advancement of Ricoh Pro C7200x to go beyond CMYK for simulating special effects on print outputs,” says Sonawane, adding, “It can churn on a broad range of media comprising both lightweight and heavyweight stocks up to 360 gsm. 

When it comes to considering the key features of the Ricoh Pro C7200x, this digital colour production press boasts print speed, quality and effect. It can run at the speed of 85 ppm (pages per minute) to deliver graphics in industry’s leading resolution of 2400×4800 dpi with additional white ink effect. “This Ricoh digital production press is really a game changer for us to meet our customers’ growing demands for quality graphic prints. Earlier, we used to run a Konica Minolta AcurioPress digital colour production press, which we have replaced with this Ricoh Pro C7200x from Monotech Systems,” mentions Sonawane. 

He continues, “We are thoroughly excited about our partnership with Monotech Systems whose highly committed after-sales service team is always alert to provide every bit of help we need from them. Now, we have chalked out plan to buy yet another machine from them for print enhancement—PixelGlow. Most probably, we will celebrate the New Year 2024 with the installation of the new digital spot UV & foiling system.” PixelGlow is a widely acclaimed digital print enhancement system manufactured indigenously by Monotech Systems Limited.

Backed by a team of 12 professionals, among which two are highly-skilled graphic designers, Aakar Printpack works for customers across Maharashtra. “However, we can say our customer base is expansively extended to pan-India level, because we have some clients like India Post which are not region or state specific. Well, what we are looking ahead is to work for clients across the nation using best-in-class machines like RICOH Pro C7200x and others from authentic suppliers like Monotech Systems
