New Delhi, March 01, 2024: Nestled in Noida Sector-10 wherefrom it serves its customers quite accessibly in and around Delhi-NCR, Shree Krishna Graphics is relatively a new service bureau with an old root, now ambitiously working to fulfil the increasing demands for quality CtCP and CtP plates in different market segments in the region. Overall vivacity in the company’s current plate-making is honed by a new CRON UVP-46646I commercial & newspaper CtCP system they have bought recently from Monotech Systems, a leading machine manufacturer and one-stop solution provider for the printing & packaging industry globally.

Shree Krishna Graphics is idyllically a new offshoot of an old establishment. In this, Mr Anupam Gupta, Director of Shree Krishna Graphics, narrates, “Inception of our company, under the name of Krishna Sales, is dated back to 2010 when we emerged as a colour matching centre as well as dealer of plates and consumables from prominent brands like TechNova, DIC, Toyo, OC, etc in Ghaziabad. Then in 2017, we opened Crystal Graphics as a service bureau in Ghaziabad where we installed our first Amsky CtCP system.

He adds, “It was in the year 2021, we came to know about demands for CtCP plates surging in Delhi-NCR, but there were stark shortage of plates. This was the key reason why we came into the scene as rescuer with the installation of an Amsky thermal CtP system at Crystal Graphics. After that all went well around Ghaziabad, but we were struggling very hard to serve Noida to the fullest satisfactions of our customers. That’s why we eventually opened Shree Krishna Graphics in Noida Sector-10 in August 2022 with 20 staff, a thermal CtP system from Technova, and a ground-breaking CRON CtCP system from Monotech Systems. And the rest is history of our continuing journey!”

Mr. Anupam Gupta continues, “What it wouldn’t be skipped in the history of our continuing journey is the chapter on how I become an entrepreneur, leaving behind a handful of highly-paid salaried jobs in different sectors. A printing technologist by profession, I used to work as a production head at The Indian Express, later joined the Ministry of Social Justice as a gazetted officer, which didn’t last long because of my printing industry-centric mindset. So, I joined the production division of The Times of India (Sahibabad), then as a north India head of CMS Info Systems (Mumbai). All went side by side from 2010, when we established Krishna Sales, till 2013 when I quit all my jobs and devoted full-time to business.”

CRON CtCP system from Monotech Systems is undeniably a game changer for Shree Krishna Graphics. In this respect, Mr Gupta shares, “After our successful stint in Ghaziabad, we were in pursuit of a machine that would be a perfect match for the Noida market where prospects of CtCP plates increased and demands kept surging. We found CRON as the right machine when we embarked upon it at Monotech Systems which every one of us knows so well for its commendable products and unconditional after-sales service support.”

“Even before we brought home the CRON, I got to know tremendous positive feedbacks about the system from our customers in the market. It has been just a few months since we installed it at Shree Krishna Graphics, a torrent of good comments pour in from our customers that include bureau houses, newspapers, publishers, packaging & commercial printers, jobbers, etc,” mentions Mr Gupta, adding that Hindustan Times, Loksatya, Jagat Kranti and MBD are some of the latest to the company’s clientele.

On choosing CRON, Mr Gupta comments, “Technically, CRON has tremendous advantages over other machines in its class. It’s cleaning is so easy, even not required frequently. Unlike other conventional systems, CRON is free from issues related to drum cleaning and its dot generation is quite better than other systems,” He further mentions that CRON is perfect for service bureaus like Shree Krishna Graphics where accuracy and speed count. CRON UVP-46646I is capable to produce 28 plates per hour (28×40), supporting plate sizes up to 1160mm. Some key features of the system include dot imaging, accurate dot reproduction with minimum error rate, and 64 channel capacity. “CRON is the best in my opinion,” concludes Mr Gupta.
