“We have been participating in Media Expo for more than 25 years now. We spend a huge amount of money on R&D and the development of new equipment, and these exhibitions are a very important platform for us to demonstrate all our new innovations. Media Expo is the largest show in the sign industry, and it helps us display our new equipment. In addition, we receive a huge number of orders for our range of products on the spot at Media Expo,” says Shailesh Mehta, director of Mehta Cad Cam.
He adds, “More and more people connected to signage across India should visit this show and not just those limited to the sign industry. People from different industries that have applications for Co2 laser, digital printers, CNC engraving, and laser machines would also be our expected audience.”
Innovations and developments
In the past four years, Mehta Cad Cam has made many innovations and developments in the field of digital printers, CNC routers, Co2 laser, fiber laser, laser welding, and bending machines, the company’s director said.
Mehta Cad Cam has tied up with Seiko, Japan, and has introduced Mehta’s solvent printer with high-resolution printing solutions using Seiko print heads. “We have introduced our SINO solvent printer with 2 Seiko print heads and a speed of 1200 sq ft/hr, Prince solvent printer with 4 Seiko print heads and a speed of 2400 sq ft/hr, and Crown solvent printer with 6 Seiko print heads and a speed of 3600 sq ft/hr,” Mehta shares.
Mehta Cad Cam introduced Bruno, said to be its first eco-solvent printer with Epson’s print head, the i3200 E1. The Epson i3200 E1 offers around 30% higher speed and 30% longer life compared to the previous Epson DXSPH print head, according to the company.
It introduced Uno, a 1.8 meter UV roll-to-roll printer with Epson i3200 U1 print head, best for backlit and front light printing, and printing on materials such as vinyl and flex. “We introduced our second-generation high-end UV flatbed printers, which can be combined with a roll-to-roll attachment. These printers are equipped with Ricoh Gen 5 and Gen 6 print heads and are available in standard sizes of 2500 x 1300 mm and 3200 x 2000 mm. The UV flatbed printers are advanced in terms of mechanics and electronics, resulting in a noiseless, maintenance-free, and trouble-free machine,” Mehta says.
The company introduced Emico, a small UV flatbed printer with a printable area of 900 x 600 mm, equipped with the Epson i3200 U1 print head. “It is a robust, trouble-free, and maintenance-free printer best suited for making awards, trophies, gift articles, souvenirs, and more. Emico has an inbuilt rotary attachment to print on cylindrical items such as water bottles, wine bottles, and more,” Mehta says.
Mehta said they have a tie-up with Shandong Hightech Industry Company, China’s most famous channel letter-bending machine manufacturer. They offer a huge range of channel letter bending machines and laser welding machines that are of high quality and available at reasonable prices.
Growth of the signage industry in India
According to Mehta, digital printing has been a part of the sign industry in India for over two decades, and the market trend is moving towards equipment with high-resolution, high-speed printing. “We see a big future for UV printers in flatbed and flexible media printing.” Although the growth of digital printers in the sign industry has been stagnant for the last 3 to 4 years before Covid, Mehta sees a rapid growth in the printing industry after the end of the Covid pandemic.
Talking about Media Expo, he said it is one of the most well-organized and well-designed shows. “Our main wish is for more footfall. However, we believe the Media Expo team should work on advertising the show and increasing publicity to attract more visitors. As the last Media Expo happened in Noida, visitors were comparatively fewer than if it had taken place in Pragati Maidan,” concludes Mehta.
The products will be displayed at stall no F-10 in Hall No 1.
