New Delhi, July 14, 2025: A creative agency, branding expert, and state-of-the-art print service provider, Color Drop at Kannur in Kerala is widely known for providing stunning graphics, sharp designs, and a string of quality end-products or items produced using a fleet of advanced machines and technologies. The fleet has recently been upgraded to a whole new standard with the addition of a RICOH Pro C7500 digital colour production press, which is supplied and installed by Monotech Systems Limited.

Monotech Systems Limited, a globally acclaimed leading Indian machine manufacturer and a one-stop solution provider for the printing & packaging industry, is dealer of RICOH and a handful of other reputed global brands in India. The company’s installation base of RICOH digital production presses across the country is rapidly expanding with gradual inclusion of prominent clients like Color Drop. Mr Anshad CP, Managing Partner at Color Drop, says, “Our tryst with RICOH technology and partnership with Monotech Systems Limited started right from the onset of our business around a decade ago.”

He continues, “We install the new RICOH Pro C7500 by replacing an old RICOH Pro C7200X to bolster print quality and productivity. Fast, furious, and flawless, this new and upgraded RICOH digital production press is packed with advanced features and capabilities with which we are now able to add new quality and colour vibrancy to our end-products, viz. cards, brochures, books, certificates, school ID cards, posters, and others. We would say this digital production workhorse with faster turnaround time gallops not only fast but also flawlessly.”

A successor of RICOH Pro C7200X, all new RICOH Pro C7500 now running at an upgradable blazing speed of 95ppm at Color Drop is indeed a capable machine.
