Editorial: Day ThreeFive trends in digital print

The digital footprint at the show is creating a buzz. From the tone of the conversation by KM, HP, Kodak during the first half of the NPES Business Conference seem to indicate that a swathe of digital devices will make a bigger impact in India.

At the show, five trends come into play.

One, pricing and the Indian market is really competitive. Second, click charges are lower than what the industry aver-age has been. Third, what media can a machine print on. Fourth, the value addition in terms of the colour manage-ment software or DFE which can be negotiated as part of the package deal.

Finally, a trend which is unique to PrintPack. The 13x39-in size boosted the Indian graphic arts segment. KM initiated the large print module in their entry-level devices. In the past year, we see both Canon and Xerox take the journey into the long print format for their higher ppm kits. This is providing a latent and intangible advantage.

the barcode for any mix-up in the pharma carton, and eject the defective piece at the speed at which it is run-ning, which is 350 metres per minutes converting to 1,20,000 cartons per hour.

India fifth largest print packaging nation in ‘16

Bengaluru-based offset and digital print specialist Ma Prints has signed a deal for installa-tion of five Konica Minolta (KM) C1060 digital presses and a Duplo 646 digital finishing kit, through TechNova, the representative

for Konica Minolta and Duplo in India.Ma Prints’ shopfloor is equipped with an Infoprint 2190, a

monochrome digital press, and a Ricoh C901 digital colour production press for digital operation, while a Komori press and Bobst post-press equipment power the offset operations.

The new investment and business accruing from it is intended to support Ma’s activity of preserving indigenous cows, Ma Gokulam.

Speaking to PrintWeek India, Guruprasad Talwar of Ma Prints, said, “We need a regular income to support Ma Gokulam, and hence the reason for the investment.”

At present, Ma’s digital business operates from one location, but with the five KM kit, it hopes to expand its presence with five more centres across Bengaluru.

The firm opted for the Duplo 646 because, according to Talwar, it needed to enhance its existing post-press capabilities. “We have the Polar and few other machines, but Duplo 616 is an all-in-one finisher, which will bring efficiency and automation to our operation.”

The Duplo 646 can process up to 8 slits, 25 cuts, and 20 creases in a single pass.

Prashant Nayak, deputy manager for sales, packaging segment, TechNova, said, “We were able to provide Ma Prints tailor-made secured print solution, leveraging our strength and experience in digital production presses and fully customised TechNova digital media.”

By Priya RajuIndia is quickly rising in the ranks of the print packaging industry and has climbed from the eighth largest market in 2011 to fifth in 2016. This was the big take-away from the presentation by Thayer Long, president, NPES. “By 2020, India will become the fourth largest market, ahead of Germany, and at this rate, shortly after 2020, India will surpass Japan, becoming the third largest market.”

Long kicked off the NPES Print Business Outlook Conference 2017 with his presentation on ‘Worldwide market for print 2.0 – global opportunities in packaging’, featuring market trends in India. Long said, “Print pack-aging globally will continue to grow at an average annual rate of 5.2% in 2016-20, just below the 5.3% rate over 2011-2015, reaching USD 286 billion by 2020.

He added, “The highest growth in 2016-20 will come from countries in Asia-Pacific, owing to India, Indonesia and

Vietnam. At the moment, Asia-Pacific is the largest regional market for print packaging, accounting for over 42% of revenues in this study, and will be the second fastest-growing region, expanding 6.7% in 2016-20.”

In the next five years, India will be in pole position out of the 10 fastest-growing print packaging markets in Asia-Pacific. As per the study, India’s revenue was USD

Long said the flexible print packaging market in India is much larger than the folding carton market. However, the folding carton segment in India is still sizable because of exports, particularly in luxury goods and cigarettes.

NPES worked on this sur-vey along with Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU).

Ultimately media should be right, aided by the skill of the person for best output.One thing that makes every print job better: Working with the ideal workflow. It makes the process superior.

Amritsar-based manufacturer of post-press and non-woven bag and fabric-making machines, Five Star Printing Machinery, has announced the sale of a programmable paper cutter, round corner machine, and the PrintPack-launched die-cutting machine with hot foil stamping feature to Luckow-based Amber Press.

Five Star has launched four new machines at the PrintPack India 2017. At its 100 sq/mt stand, ten machines are on display. NS Khurana, the second generation of family-owned business, said, “We are receiving very good responses including orders for machines and potential queries. Demand for Indian machines is increasing in the country as well as worldwide because of economical price.”

Khurana said, “The hydraulic programmable paper cutting machine by us is at par with the international quality at reasonable price. We continuously upgrade and automate our machines to reduce the labour, cost and production time.”

“Apart from being economical, all our machines are backed with after sales and spare parts service,” added Khurana.

Silver Prints, said, “We had visited Yi Sheng factory dur-ing the Shanghai Fair last year. Thanks to PGS’ service support, we are quite confi-dent to have a good run with the machine and overcome the bottlenecks in lamina-tion.”

“The USP of the machine

is the electromagnetic heat-ing of the cylinder which results in substantial reduc-tion of power usage,” added Suresh.

Yi Sheng has two variants – 800 and 600, the later is a new addition to Yisheng’s portfolio, which is designed for the Indian market.

Sambit Misra of Ricoh India, said, “Jaipur is a signifi-cantly large market for colour but most importantly Titu Prints as an account is signifi-cantly large and the plans they have for the future could be gigantic. Their footprint will now travel beyond the heartland of Rajasthan to diversify. Hence this win is the first step towards a long term rela-tionship.”

Meanwhile, the company has entered into a partnership with Italy’s Zator Srl, a manu-facturer of glue application systems. This venture named as PPEM India will be the sole distributor of applicators in India. Prashanth Kumar of Vijaya Grafiks, said “The Zator glue application system to be on par with the current tech-nology advancements. Plus it’s a cost-effective product.”

“We have registered around 30% growth since the last edition of PrintPack,” said Parikh.

VISITOR SPEAKNizamappas, MK Printpack, ChennaiToday was my first day. I am here for another two days. It’s a well-executed exhibition and it’s a show where we come to spend time with our industry partners and colleagues. This year, there are lots of

foreign visitors. Today, people are more focused on automation and the production capacity is more because of the automation process. The company and owners don’t think much about spending on automation. According to me, flexo will be on top in the next edition of PrintPack India, as flexo is moving up value-chain steadily.

M S Manivannan, Vindini Vysage, Sivakasi

I have attended about four to five PrintPack shows. After visiting two days of the show, I think printing technology is changing from analogue to automation.

Today, the technology is moving towards digital. I started my career with Kapoor Imaging in 1980 and in 1994, we started with Vindini Vysage in Sivakasi. At the show, we are looking for products which we can distribute in the South. There are new things at the show, for example, non-woven fabrics can be a good segment for mini-offset machines for the printing and packaging market.

Harsimran Vir Walia, Majestic Graphics and Machinery, New DelhiI am a regular visitor at PrintPack India. I also visited Drupa 2016. The main reason for visiting the show is to get an update about upcoming technologies in the

market and in the print and packaging industry. The technology has been changing at a rapid speed and new inventions are coming into the Indian print industry. At the show, we have come to meet our clients and dealers from Japan and England.

The fully automatic Huayin CD-108 can cut a sheet from 400x370 mm to 1080x780 mm.

As it claims its share in the digital market, the Taloja-based brand TechNova is gung-ho about its product range. At the show, the plate manufacturer is going all out to showcase what more it can do for its customers.

Newslight 36: Printing in a smarter wayPrakash Offset launches the game-changing newspaper printing press Newslight 36 at PrintPack India 2017

Being showcased at the show for the first time, the Newslight 36 is a single-width single-circumference newspaper press that exploits Prakash Offset’s 25 years of legacy in web offset technology.

Prakash Web Offset: on the movePrakash Web Offset strives to bring in different new application in the web offset machines, which were earlier possible only in the sheetfed. Prakash Web Offset therefore, is now one of the leading supplier of single-width web offset presses worldwide.The Newslight 36, its newest offering, is a technological marvel.

Productivity improvement: the central themeIts shaftless technology, control systems and auto splicer make it a perfect mix of state-of-the-art technology and performance. Never has been a moment in the history when a web offset printer could get hold of such cutting edge technology at such a reasonable price. Its high technology features, excellent metallurgy and unique combination with SG 50 splicer and 2:2:2 folder makes it a workhorse.

Design, Machine Robustness & Build QualityAmong all processes, the design stage was the longest in the development of Newslight. Prakash had uncountable in-house meetings and several industry focus group meetings to clearly define the specifications and features of Newslight 36.

The Newslight 36 is designed keeping in mind ruggedness and a high degree of reliability that the newspaper printers need for everyday printing. The machine is extremely stable and the metallurgy of each component is decided based on its application. There are six different types of steel used in the machine. Main frames are seasoned, stress relived cast iron for

minimum vibration and maximum stability Special coatings are applied to all ink oscillating

rollers for minimum abrasion and optimum ink transfer

The specially developed pattern for scoring rollers adds to the Newslight 36 ink transfer capabilities.

Raw material plays a very important role in build quality. In-house and industry metallurgy experts were thoroughly consulted to pin point material for each critical part. Only after this exercise, Prakash claims that Newslight 36 is much more reliable and has got an extra life than the competition. We promise minimum downtime and minimum service cost.

Machine PerformanceNewslight 36 comes with auto ink curves. Now the operator does not have to worry about varying ink levels at varying speeds. The machine does it automatically, which simply translates into better ink mileage and low print waste. The auto registration system in the press is very responsive and keeps copies in good register. The spray dampening system also greatly helps in reducing startup waste and better ink mileage.

All the automation features are provided keeping in mind shorter print runs. With all these features, Newslight users can confidently print day in and day out without bothering about the print run length and edition changes.

High productivity, low wastage and minimum breakdown contribute directly to the user’s bottom line.

PrintPackDaily 06.02.2017 COMMENT 11

Rajesh Agarwal, managing director, SRK Technology

Kulbhushan Khorwal, sales manager, Kapoor Imaging

Harsh Gupta, regional GM – India, ME & E, HB Fuller

SRK is a complete solution provider for post-press converting equipment. Our range includes lamina-tion, die-cutter and also hot foil stamping, offline cold foiler, folder-gluer, flute lamination, rigid box machines, pile turners, multilayer register hologram stamping machine as well as register lamination machine for lens films. We started our journey about nine years ago with Steinemann Technology, Switzerland. After PrintPack 2015, we added Yoco, the manufacturer of die-cutter and foil stamping equipment, to our portfolio.

PrintPack presenceWe have participated in almost all the PrintPack shows and our stand size always has been 100 sq/m plus due to the size of our equipment. This time, we will showcase the strength of Yoco die-cutter which will run live at 7,500sph.

Key productMTM water-based lamination machine will be on display at our booth. MTM is a strong name as they have sold over 50 machines in Europe and estab-lished their name in the world market. York Print, NextGen Printer and Exquisite in Kolkata are the proud users of this machine. Another product we have is the Steinemann PUR lamination machine.

Product USPHigh speed and versatility are key features of this machine. At the show, MTM machine is running at high-speed with a flying knife.

Utility to a print operationToday, due to high capital investment, stiff competi-tion and over capacity, the packaging industry has a 8-9% margin. Buying branded, expensive die-cut-ters may not justify the cost. Today, the key to suc-cess is lower capital investment with higher returns, and Yoco fits the bill.

What 2017 holds?2017 would be a challenging year for all of us in the printing industry. The real show starts now, follow-ing the budget announcement. I personally think that after June, things will come back to normal, after the demonetisation drive.

Consumable specialist Kapoor Imaging began chemical manufacturing for the printing industry following a tie-up with US-based RBP. Its sister concern, Apollo Poly Vinyl, too commenced pro-duction of foam boards and WPC boards for signage and the construction business.

PrintPack presenceKapoor Imaging has been participating in the show since 1999. Our previous show was the biggest for us, where we displayed CTP and booked couple of orders. It also helped us get some popularity with the equipment we deal in. In this edition, we are also demonstrating our CTCP systems and are also launching our UV printer for signage industry.

Products USPOur special blankets for can printing ensure non-stop operation even at a speed of two lakh cans per day, while the Topaz PS Plus PS plates deliver ther-mal quality. The RBP eliminates IPA from the pressroom and the UV setters for newspapers will bring down cost of operation with small newspa-pers and editions.

Platesetter statsConsidering the market conditions, we would not indulge in the number games. But, we have close to 20 CTCP machines installed. Since we also service platesetters, we would like to inform that we have signed up for 32 AMCs across the country for screen and Topaz setter.

Response to market changeYes, there have been changes, both in technology and economy. But the Indian market is quick to adapt to change. Our customers have replaced vio-let CTP systems with UV setters.

Investment sentimentsYes, it is getting tougher. We have to wait and watch as the effects of demonetisation. What we have seen is that the customers are holding back their investment, especially in the capital equipment segment, not so much on the consumable items. Going forward, GST, if further delayed, will create chaos. That said, we are optimistic and hope for a great 2017.

Adhesive specialist HB Fuller, with a range of hot melt, reactive hot melt and water-based adhe-sives, on the back of its continued growth, is set to increase investments in R&D facilities, core group of people, with the aim to support custom-ers. HB Fuller has opened its corporate office premises in Pune. The factory continues to func-tion from Shirwal.

PrintPack presenceThis is HB Fuller’s second PrintPack India par-ticipation. HP Fuller intends to leverage trade shows such as PrintPack, to demonstrate our commitment to bringing global adhesive innova-tion within reach of local converters that can be adapted to suit specific application needs.

Key productThe difficult to bond paper stocks, such as wood-free, glossy and high-weight, need high final bind strength. HB Fuller’s Optipur Digital adhesive is a high performance, polyurethane reactive hot melt adhesive designed specifically for spine-gluing and gluing-off operations, both for soft and hardcover books. It delivers a strong bind quality in few minutes after binding and ensures book integrity along the conveyor belt, allowing for quick trimming and packing of straight-edged brochures and books.

Value to print businessHB Fuller tailors its product and process innova-tions to meet our customers’ critical needs, such as enhancing product quality and increasing effi-ciency and production output. The problem-solv-ing power can add measurable value to their print projects.

Investment and growthHB Fuller has set up manufacturing facility in India in 2012, with an investment of USD 20 mil-lion. In a brief span of three years, the company has grown at a CAGR of 40% to become one of the top two suppliers in the adhesive industry.

Response to market changeHB Fuller customises and adapts to meet specific application needs of the local market.

Ups its graphic commercial printing business quotient

Bright Digital chooses HP Indigo 10000 digital press

Bright Digital, is one of the NCR’s leading photo and commercial printer and they are associated with some of India’s most respected photographers, studios, com-

panies, MNC’s and advertising agencies.

Bright took a huge step when it decided to deploy the world class technology investing in a HP Indigo 10000 and soon after it secured a print job that required personalisation.

“We had to print a personalised newspaper for a birthday event. The Indigo 10000 was of tremendous help, enabling us to deliver the personalised newspaper in quick time,” says Sukesh Bhatia of Bright.

Bright has been a valued partner of HP and they have a dedicated display area showcasing range of photo and GCP applications in Printpack within HP booth (E74), in Hall 9.

Bright entered into print business in 2012 with installation of HP Indigo 5500, specialising in photobook, printing 200 albums per day. Bhatia and his brother Praveen manage the business.

In November last year, Bright installed the HP Indigo 10000, where along with photobook, its focus has been on garnering business in the graphic commercial printing. These include posters with different media, catalogues, leaf-lets, wedding boxes, gift boxes.

The HP Indigo 5500 is dedicated to photobook, but the Indigo 10000 takes care of our commercial printing business too. Owing to the B2 size, HP 10000 allows us the flexibility

to use the press not only for the photobook but graphic com-mercial print too.

The company is working on producing packaging using light cartonboard and personalised stationery for select cli-ents. It is also looking for commercial print companies in and around NCR whom they could provide their services too. “We are working on filling up the press and the two applica-tions we are working on makes it clear that this investment in Indigo 10000 is a sound one,” says Bhatia.

Around 50% of the jobs printed on the Indigo 10000 is now for graphic commercial print. “Though it is only three months since the installation of the 10000, our commercial business has been growing by about 20%, and with signifi-cant applications in personalised notebook and packaging we have been working on, it is likely to grow,” said Bhatia.

Elaborating upon the business association with Bright Digital, A Appadurai, country manager, Indigo and Inkjet Web Press, HP Inc. India said, “Bright Digital has been one of our most valued customers and we are delighted to be entrusted by them to help them realise their growth strategy. We believe that the 10000 offers a whole new range of appli-cations possibilities by being able to print on over 3000 dif-ferent media’s. Leveraging HP Indigo’s continuous innovation, our customers around the globe providing brands unprecedented printing solutions to improve brand-customer engagement, while improving their own busi-nesses by driving a shift in how the printing industry across world does business.”n

Alpna’s Rhino Dexa for all-round UV coating, Magic-Cure for seamless retrofit

QuadTech’s four new technologies to enhance quality and automation

Bobst VisionFold 110: flawless quality

New Delhi’s Alpna is demonstrating Rhino Dexa, a twin-deck offline UV coater

aimed at high-volume packaging converters.

According to Vijay Aggarwal of Alpna, Rhino Dexa is a versatile packaging kit, a must-have.

“It’s a complete coater. When I say complete, it means that because it has twin-deck, it can produce multiple UV effects including drip-off unlike other coating machines which are limited to UV or aqueous coating,” added Aggarwal.

Unlike Alpna’s other products which are retrofit curing systems, Rhino Dexa is a standalone offline machine which is a combination of stock Heidelberg offset presses and Alpana’s expertise in UV coating and

curing technology.The machine delivers at a speed

of 8,000 sheets per hour. Till date, the manufacturer has installed over eight Rhino Dexa machines in the country, key customers include Kolkata’s Nextgen Printers, HP-based NS Printo Pack and Edelmann Packaging.

Besides this, Alpna is showcasing Magic Cure range of retrofit UV curing systems for sheetfed offset presses. Aggarwal said, “Magic-Cure is equipped with advanced shuttered UV cassettes with EPS power packs and water cooling technology from GWK Germany. Alpna’s team of 12 engineers can deliver a seamless integration curing system with the press.”

1,20,000 cartons per hour. “For example,” says Venugopal Menon, business director for sheetfed BU, India sub-continent, “If there are two pharma cartons, one for a 100mg packaging and second for a 200mg packaging, but both with similar size and design, there is a

below the system into the tray.The flipper ejector which was

earlier available on ExpertFold is now available as an option on VisionFold from 2017.

In one of the features, the machine allows running of conical crash-lock boxes and four-corner trays. “It’s not easy to run odd shaped boxes on a folder-gluer. Special designed cartons require expertise from both the machine side and operator skills,” says Menon.

Again to run such odd-shaped boxes, the machine needs to be fitted with special guides, rollers and setting, and also skills to run it. “These are small fittings and learning, but they are essential,” says Menon.

The machine on the stand has been sold to TCPL and will be installed at its Guwahati plant.

The VisionFold was launched at Drupa 2008.

According to a PrintWeek India survey, there are more than 50 VisionFolds installed in India.

Bobst, one of the world’s leading suppliers of equipment and services to

packaging and label manufacturers in the folding carton, corrugated board and flexible materials industries, is running demonstrations the VisionFold 110 A2 at its stand. The new folder-gluer with auto collection is a modular cum versatile machine with multiple jobs processing capability, which can produce consistent quality over and over again.

New on the VisionFold 110 A2 is the flipper ejector, a quality control ejection system, which auto ejects cartons with mix-ups or non-glued cartons detected by any quality control (QC) systems.

A Baumer HHS inspection system, fitted to the kit will read the barcode for any mix-up in the pharma carton, and eject the defective piece at the speed at which it is running, which is 350 metres per minutes converting to

chance of a mix-up owing to the similarity. This machine eliminates such mix-ups.”

The other feature of the flipper ejection system is that it can eject cartons of any shape, four-corner, micro-flute box, straight line, lock-bottom, and it will drop straight

To meet quality and consistency demands of brand owners, QuadTech launched four new technologies at Drupa 2016 – ColorTrack with InkControl, colour measurement system

DeltaCam, register guidance system MultiCam Trim, and inspection system Icon.

Hemant Desai of QuadTech said, “We launched the products in 2016 and dramatically increased the pace of our innovation. Importantly, our systems have shifted from being a ‘nice-to-have’ capability to a must-have technology, enabling converters in an ever-competitive market to drive efficiencies, increase print quality and increase profitability.”

With ColorTrack, QuadTech has developed a ‘colour expert in a box’ that automates the process of delivering absolute consistency from press-to-press, shift-to-shift, and plant-to-plant.

ColorTrack is a colour management software for flexo and gravure packaging applications. “Without any hardware modifications to the press, ColorTrack seamlessly integrates the ink recipe software not only to simplify workflow but also to reduce the number of ink corrections needed to achieve accurate, optimal colour,” added Desai.

The register guidance system MultiCam Trim is a highly economical colour-to-colour register and cutoff control for newspaper printers. Designed for single-width, single-folder newspaper applications, the MultCam Trim system offers a streamlined set of features for

simplified operation at low cost.The DeltaCam makes inline spectral

measurement affordable, while the 100% inspection system is built on QuadTech’s

popular Icon platform. “This is far from an

incremental upgrade to an existing technology. We gathered

extensive user feedback to re-imagine —

from ground up —a better process for the detection and

disposition of defects.”

The key to hassle-free digital production

A little maintenance can go a long way. Priya Raju highlights the services offered by digital press manufacturers for smooth production

In daily life how diligently do we keep a check on our car to stop small problems snowballing into bigger ones? Routine printer maintenance is quite similar to 25,000-km oil change of your car. Just like

the car, your printer too needs regular mainte-nance and servicing to reduce the chance of a breakdown.

Buying a printing press is one thing and ensur-ing its good health is another.

Honestly, how many times have you put off a maintenance check until the next day to get an order out, but never actually got around to it?

Indian print firms tend to lack proactive approach towards scheduled service and mainte-nance. But this often leads to a sudden breakdown of the printer compelling the user to hire techni-cians and spend more money in fixing the trouble. With regular printer servicing, you will be able to monitor the parts within the machine and protect them from paper dust and toner build-up.

The digital production gameTo stay ahead in the digital game, printers must maximise their production performance and then keep it at that level. But, most of the systems are run to failure and only addressed when they break-down. This impairs the health of the machines and life of the capital investment. In a production envi-ronment like print, where the processes are inter-dependent, breakdowns can lead to unpredictable production schedules.

Regular preventive maintenance can play a key factor in smooth production. The maintenance requirements of digital printing can depends a lot on equipment suppliers.

“Prior to a stringent maintenance solution being implemented, our customers in Mumbai and Surat had a monthly production volume of three-lakh impressions. After in-depth training and a fixed preventive maintenance schedule was put in place, volume has almost doubled to upwards of 5.5-lakh impressions,” shares Tapan Paul, national manager – service, Kodak India.

The maintenance of digital presses involves three factors: the hardware part, software and on-site training offered by equipment suppliers.

Hardware-based solutionsPost-installation most of the equipment suppliers offer installation and service support through its network of engineers. Canon offers onsite mainte-nance solutions through its technical support team, whereas Kodak offers weekly maintenance by operators, which is supervised by trained engi-neers of Kodak as well as monthly preventive maintenance.

“All of our machines are in the service contracts from day one of installation with the total

guarantee of service and maximum machine uptimes,” says Puneet Datta, director – profes-sional printing products group, Canon India.

Xerox India offers onsite maintenance based on a laptop which is equipped with comprehensive software. Balaji Rajagopalan, executive director of technology, channels and international distributor operations, Xerox India, says, “This gives our engineers a competitive advantage in terms of getting faster solutions and allows engineers to con-nect to our solution database called Eureka.” Eureka is a database of Xerox which consists of solutions to all the problems which are seen across the world and have been solved by a fleet of more than 1,50,000 technical experts.

Software tools for leaner productionRemote diagnostics plays an important role in service to help support the customer and improve reliability. There has been an increas-ing demand for software support and tools which enables value-added printing and over-all work efficiency.

Xerox offers solutions like Xerox Device Manager, which helps customers to track the machine usage, updates on any issue on a day to day basis, among others. Kodak’s presses come with Prinergy Workflow which drives print operations across hybrid print environ-ments. “The NexPress digital press is JDF and JMF enabled which supports remote job ticketing, submission, and tracking and ena-bles direct connection with Prinergy and gives a bi-directional feedback to Prinergy,” informs Paul.

Canon presses are equipped with the EFI

front end, which enables automation of pro-cesses. Datta says, “For example Fiery JobFlow offers automated pre-press processes that are easy to set up and use, to minimise re-work and boost overall efficiency at the print floor.”

On-site trainingMost of the digital press manufacturer offer onsite training and technical support along with interactive user guide, with first-level troubleshooting. A service call is usually responded by the manufacturer within a few hours or a day or two, depending on the loca-tion of the press as well as the technical sup-port team.

Canon conducts classroom training sessions at its Noida-based training centre, wherein both classroom as well as hands-on sessions for removal, replacement or adjustment and cleaning of various modules, etc. The sessions are conducted for all models for 5-15 days depending upon the model.

Kodak users have access to a vast video library for maintenance procedures, including press operation, operator replaceable compo-nents (ORCs), periodic maintenance and gen-eral troubleshooting.

Xerox’s customers are provided with CDs, DVDs and instruction sheets, giving all the information on the product and basic activi-ties. As per the requirements, basic as well as advanced training are provided for problems faced by the operator like jam clearance and other problem-solving methods are demon-strated.

“This enables the operators to clear minor issues in the machine on their own,” says Rajagopalan.

Role of service agreementsThe range of services on offer varies from one manufacturer to another. Some offer just remote diagnostics, some offer remote repair, where possible, and some offer a preventative analysis service.

Kodak has Click Service agreements, whereas Xerox offers Full Service and Maintenance agreements (FSMA) and Time and Material type of services. In FSMA, for metro cities; average response time is less than four hours. “We generally achieve this in less than two hours,” says Rajagopalan. Under the time and material agreement type, the cus-tomer pays for both the call and spares used for putting the machine up. “This is generally responded by the next working day,” he adds.

With Canon, there are three types of service agreements. “The Total Guarantee agreement is a click based contract and encompasses all spares, consumables, and services. The annual maintenance contract includes services and spares but excludes consumable and the Call and Maintain type where the customer pays for all services, spares, and consumables,” explains Datta.

A boonIf one does not have the expertise or time to maintain or have too many digital presses, we at PrintWeek India think, purchasing a service contract can prove to be a boon.

The advantages are threefold: It ensures that your kit receives regular preventative mainte-nance; reduce downtime; and finally if the ser-vice contract includes maintaining printing supplies, one does not need to spend time pur-chasing and save time.n

A selection of samples printed in digital that won them the gong during the PrintWeek India Awards 2016DIGITAL MAGIC

The photo album by Klick Digital illustrates how beautiful wedding albums can be. The photo album is printed on metallic non-tearable paper. The album, printed on HP Indigo 5500, has been laminated by thermal lamination with velvet effect. Plus the album comes in a box which is equally delightful. Here, the box has been made using fabric and leather which gives it a premium look.

The 20 copies of ‘Ek Nayi Subah’ coffee-table book was printed on the C800 using 190 gsm Rendezvous paper. And it comes with a seven-inch screen and a port to charge, to play a video, all within the book. The book is an example how digital can do everything that offset can. It was on a C800 with EI F200 server. The jacket cover is printed on Konica Minolta C6000 with UV embellishments.

The ‘NCERT special accessible children’s books’ by Chanakya Mudrak were unique – 40 different books with five copies each; total 200 copies. It was a collaboration between NCERT and Chanakya Mudrak, with the company providing the production technical knowhow. The company also received a mention in the credit page of the book. It took almost six months of R&D and pre-press processing for the books. A thoughtful book, we say.

For the backlit billboard print sample, the customer wanted to have the print on backlit flex, and when lit, the background should not be visible. Only the targeted image should be lit. For day effect, the company printed the full image on the front surface of a hot laminated backlit flex on a HP Scitex XP 5300. For night effect, the targeted image was left open and the rest of the image was covered with black ink.

New entrants with new technology, new ideas to replace the redundant and archaic

With old world values at the core, change of focus, customisation will be the future

Predictions for 2017We expect the next year to be better as demonetisation and many other factors would have started to give the much-needed boost to the economy. Being a ser-vice industry, we are dependent on the general economic growth. The last finan-cial year has been quite bad for many newspapers due to a variety of reasons.

Print business modelWe are in the age of transformation. Every enterprise is required to recreate and opti-

Predictions for 2017According to me, 2017 looks good for our industry in spite of the slow economy due to demonetisation. We will see a larger impact of demonetisation compared to its initial

mise. New entrants with new ideas and new technology will replace the redundant and archaic. This is a natural and on-going phenomenon. The only way to get over it is to recreate into new entities capable of sustaining the onslaught.

New technologiesNew technologies are mainly designed for short run. A country like India still has lots of scope for old as well as new technolo-gies. A diverse country with the world’s second largest population, India is quite different compared with the rest of world. We are much more resilient and stable because of our size and diversity.

How to innovate? We need to find our own creative solutions rather than aping the rest of the world. Our unique character opens up unique opportunities. A user in India wants a high quality product at an affordable price. The decision matrix in India always has the price factor high on the priority list. Unfortunately, our productivity, quality labour and wastage indices are still not appropriate compared to many other countries.

Digital print in India In India, all technologies will survive in short and medium run. Digital is meant for niche markets and applications. There is a lot of scope for growth; however, this is directly connected with cost per page. As we move towards a lower unit cost, the vol-umes will shift from conventional. The customer is ready to pay and get thing done at the right economic price.

Social media for a print firmWhile it is fashionable to use digital and social media, we need to understand that digital needs a lot of discipline and rigour. You need to update your data and the response times have to be fantastic. This is only possible with professional round-the-clock backend support and a critical mass for sustenance. We need to recreate and train our workforce to adapt to the new paradigms.

estimation. The rural business will take two to three quarters to be back on track.

Print business modelOld world values will still remain at the core of our business. At the same time, changing the focus and looking at customisation for

the needs and preferences of the evolving market will become a priority.

New technologiesThere will be not any profound change in technology employed in the publishing industry in short-run.

How to innovateSurely, innovation is possible through bet-ter expertise in people. Capital investment in infrastructure cannot be considered as an innovation.

Digital print in IndiaYes, digital print will pick up in short-run book and commercial jobs. I am not aware about the latest toner developments, but inkjet must be taken seriously.

Social media for a print firmSocial media is an important communica-tion tool in the present scenario and cannot be ignored.
