Gyan Digital Graphics in Agra, a known supplier of quality CtCP plates, switched to commercial printing in April last year with a strategic investment in a brand new Komori Enthrone 429 – marking the beginning of its printing business with the all-new compact and high-end sheet-fed 29″ offset press that has pulled quality-conscious clients. Gyan Digital has now booked another Komori to expand the business.
“After the installation of Enthrone 429 last year, we got a handful of clients from key sectors such as healthcare and electronics,” says Gyanendra Kumar Gautam, partner at Gyan Digital Graphics. Gyanendra’s brother Vikas Kumar Gautam is a partner in the business that has a team of highly-skilled and experienced printing and production professionals in the printing division.
Gyanendra says that as the demand for quality prints increased manifold over the last few months, they decided to add another Komori press. “This is the reason why we booked a brand new Enthrone 429, whose installation is scheduled to be completed by January 2026. We anticipate the new press will totally boost our production volume.”
Incepted as a service bureau in the year 2007, Gyan Digital Graphics’ journey into commercial printing with the brand new Enthrone 429 is a bold step to explore the market by providing highly innovative and vivid color graphics and a range of finished print products, which conventional printers in Agra and around cannot deliver.
Recalling his early encounter with the brand Komori, Gyanendra says, “In the year 2021, at a trade expo in Mumbai, I came to know about Komori’s competency and advantages over other sheetfed offset presses. After that we contacted Komori India, and discussions were on. Everyone at Komori India is cooperative and encouraging. Even if we call in odd hours, they respond. This is one of the main reasons why we are going for the second Enthrone 429.”
Gyanendra says they looked at 4-5 brands before finalizing the Komori. “None of the other brands was impressive when we cross-checked the features and capabilities,” he adds. The Enthrone 429 can operate at the speed of 13,000 sph (sheets per hour) for printing on sheets from 0.04 mm to 0.6 mm.
Gyanendra says the brand new Enthrone 429, which they are now awaiting, has some new and upgraded features that will help them enhance prints to a new level.
