From a mere reprographic shop to a full-fledged commercial printing corner, Dhingra Photostat, based in Panipat, Haryana, got a new avatar as Dhingra Prints in 2017. The company’s transformation led to the continued expansion of its machine portfolio, with the latest addition being a Ricoh Pro C9500, a first in Haryana. This Ricoh digital colour production press, successor to the ever demanding Ricoh Pro C9200, at Dhingra Prints has been supplied and installed by Monotech Systems.
“Ever since we took a big turn in business in 2017 with a new stature, our overall activities have also been drastically changed. Our reprographic jobs like photocopying and such tasks have been a bit sidelined as we are now focusing more on production printing. Around 80% of our current activities are of job works while the rest we still engage in our traditional reprographic tasks to serve local walk-in customers who have been closely associated with us for years and still trust the quality of works and services of Dhingra Prints, formerly Dhingra Photostat,” says Mahesh Dhingra, proprietor.
On the recent installation of the flagship Ricoh Pro C9500 at Dhingra Prints, Dhingra remarks, “No words needed, we all know Ricoh digital colour production presses are always outstanding in terms of delivering quality prints. On top of that, this upgraded Ricoh Pro C9500 is undeniably a fresh breakthrough in quality printing. We are proud of being the first owner of it in Haryana. Our clients will now get a whole new print quality, something never offered before.” Most clients of Dhingra Prints are predominantly jobbers based in Panipat, Sonipat, Karnal and many parts of Uttar Pradesh. The company indulges a bit into exports too.
Backed by a team of 12 well-trained and experienced printing and production professionals, Dhingra Prints boasts a production facility equipped with a line of digital colour production presses and others. The line consists of presses such as a Konica Minolta bizhub Pro C12000, a Canon C10000, Konica Minolta AccurioPress C6085 and others. “Despite our already existing machine portfolio and capacity, we have set a new benchmark in quality and production speed following the recent installation of the Ricoh Pro C9500,” Dhingra says.
He adds, “Doubtless to say that this new Ricoh Pro C9500, being the latest and upgraded model in its family, is a new ally for us to boost print quality, flexibility and productivity. In fact, we have the steadfast commitment to fulfil the demands and desires of our clients who are primarily jobbers working for big brands and corporate companies from different market sectors. It’s now our assurance because we have this Ricoh Pro C9500, upgraded with advanced features.”
The Ricoh Pro C9500, which Monotech Systems introduced in the Indian market at the end of last year, is a digital colour production workhorse capable of operating at a speed up to 135 ppm (pages per minute). Suitably engineered to meet the quality, resolution, and accuracy in varied graphic prints, this upgraded model delivers high-quality graphics in industry’s leading resolution of 2400×4800 dpi producing compatibility on a broad range of media weighing from 40gsm to 470gsm. Another advanced feature of the press is its precise auto front-to-back registration that helps commercial printers like Dhingra Prints produce high-value duplex jobs with full confidence.
Key products which Dhingra Prints delivers are stickers, labels, inlays, inserts, tags, PVC stickers and various marketing collaterals. “We are at the beginning of steering business with the newfound prowess and capacity of the Ricoh Pro C9500. It’s quite confident and clear that this digital press will surely cultivate a new success in our business—thanks to Monotech Systems,” says Dhingra.
