Mumbai printer Bombay Enterprise provides both small and industrial-level print jobs using a fleet of high-end presses and machines. To scale print productivity, the company invested in a new Ricoh Pro C9500, a high-speed digital color production press, supplied and installed by Monotech Systems.
In the offset and commercial printing market over the last two decades, serving customers in print contracting and consultancy businesses as well as others from different sectors, Bombay Enterprise provides an array of bespoke end-products such as business cards, invitation cards, brochures, cloth & garment tags, etc. The company is backed by a team of 12 skilled and experienced printing and production professionals.
On the company’s establishment, Dipu Devda, operational director, Bombay Enterprise, says, “In the beginning, we were into offset printing, then gradually expanded to digital production printing with a focus on print embellishment using an AccurioShine 3600. Nevertheless, we felt the shortage of a digital color production press. Then we found the Ricoh Pro C9500. We are now empowered to enhance productivity with this digital press from Monotech Systems.”
Devda says that before the Ricoh Pro C9500, they barely used to manage digital printing jobs with multifunction printers (MFPs). “It hampered our productivity and couldn’t generate appropriate volume and print quality, which we needed to meet the demand of quality-conscious clients in both the domestic and international markets.”
“Over the years, we kept on expanding our client base as a result of our team’s commitment and constant upgrades of our machine portfolio and many new developments on various fronts. We have been working for some offshore clients in cities such as New Jersey and Dubai. Our investment in the new Ricoh Pro C9500 has given us the advantage of producing higher print volume and textured graphics. Media flexibility of this Ricoh press is magnificent.”
Printing in a resolution of 2400 x 4800 dpi on lightweight as well as heavyweight media to produce dazzling textured graphics, the Ricoh Pro C9500 takes in stocks right from 40 gsm up to 470 gsm. “The press’ media-handling capability and speed are some of its attributes that impressed us,” Dipu says, adding, “Its upgradable speed of 135ppm meets everything we require on time. Currently, we are producing around 30,000 sheets in eight hours with this Ricoh digital press.”
Moreover, the Ricoh Pro C9500 is bundled with EFI Fiery Digital Print Servers, a crucial tool to optimize efficiency and quality in print operations. The servers’ intuitive Fiery Command WorkStation is designed to facilitate precise job management and color control, enabling quick production of personalized products with the press’ variable data printing capabilities in exceptional RIP speeds and smooth PDF workflows. “We further look ahead to getting more such capable machines, doubtlessly from Monotech Systems,” emphasizes Dipu.
