Commented on the significance of the innovation, Anshul Vashistha, national sales manager, Graphic Innovations at Orafol India, said, “With the rapid growth in the road network in India, the market for retroreflective signs is growing. We are manufacturing the retroreflective sheet as well as the print solution. So, our partners can now offer a complete solution to the government. This particular business fully runs on a business-to-government (B2G) model.”
In addition to the Oralite Eco Traffic printer, Orafol highlighted the Oralite 5017 eco-solvent digital printing inks, perfectly compatible with the printer and featuring highly resilient pigments.
