The Printers House which is one of the largest Indian and oldest web offset press manufacturers in India continues to supply more automated presses to the newspaper market in India and overseas. The company is also one of the first Indian companies that first showed its presses at drupa in the 1980s. It will be there again this year in a 90 square metre stand next to KBA. For some years, TPH and KBA have had an agreement for sales of each other’s presses. While the newspaper industry has seen its ups and downs over the past three years, TPH continues to manufacture, sell and install its presses at a more or less steady pace.
With the increase of color printing in newspapers and increased run-lengths for book production TPH is among the leading manufacturers of single width presses to incorporate automation in both user environments. In the past year the company installed its first automated 4-color book printing press at Tamil Arasu Pressin Tamil Nadu in South India. Consisting of single 4-Hi tower for printing full process color on both sides of the web, the press configuration includes an automatic reel changer, digital presetting and remote inking, remote ink feeding and auto-registration and cut-off controls. The TPH press at Tamil Arasu contains a spray dampening system and a UV curing system. TPH has supplied many automated presses to export markets but this is the first automated pressthat it hassupplied in India – reflecting the trend to produce higher quality color with increased automation on single width web offset presses.
TPH is again participating in drupa 2016 with a stand next to KBA with which it has a mutual sales agreement. The company’s entire marketing team will be present for all 11 days of the show.
