Andheri East-based digital print service provider Ashish Jumbo Xerox has installed a new Canon imagePRESS V1000 digital production press. Completed in the first week of July, the installation is a strategic move by Ashish Jumbo Xerox to address the increasing demand for high-quality, rapid printing services.
“This is our third Canon press in the last 15 years. We make it a point to upgrade our printing capabilities every six to seven years to stay abreast of the latest technology, which is vital in the digital printing segment. We have a great relationship with Canon. Their after-sales service is excellent, and the print quality of their presses is outstanding,” says Ramesh Gala, founder of Ashish Jumbo Xerox.
The two-decade-old company is now managed by Ramesh Gala and his two sons, Vinay Gala and Ashish Gala. Ashish Jumbo Xerox provides printing services such as brochures, banners, business cards, posters, and flyers, among others. Located in the heart of the business district of Andheri East on the Andheri-Kurla Road, the company serves a large number of corporate and retail clients. In addition to commercial printing, Ashish Jumbo Xerox offers wide-format printing services.
“Our facility is strategically located on Andheri-Kurla Road, which attracts a significant number of retail customers. Additionally, Andheri East is a major commercial hub in the western suburbs of Mumbai with many corporate offices, so we also service many corporate clients,” Ramesh Gala adds.
The Canon imagePRESS V1000 is a versatile machine capable of handling various print jobs, including brochures, flyers, posters, and other marketing materials. It supports printing on various media types, from traditional paper to cardstock and vinyl.
In 2023, Canon India launched the imagePRESS series, introducing the V1000 and V900 models. The imagePRESS V1000 features a robust front-end controller, the imagePRESS Server D3000, powered by the Fiery FS500 Pro system software. This addition brings new functionalities, a familiar workflow, and prepress features to further enhance the printing process.
Plans to ramp up production on new press
With print volumes on the rise, Ashish Jumbo Xerox plans to quickly ramp up production on the imagePRESS V1000.
“The press has a speed of 100 pages per minute, which will enable us to take on larger orders. We aim to quickly increase output to over 100,000 impressions per month. We generally print in a 12×18-inch size,” says Vinay Gala.
