Thanks to this ground-breaking RICOH digital colour production press with advanced features! It has ultimately empowered us to heighten our capability to gratify our customers who constantly yearn for quality and innovation in print outputs.”

Driving print innovations to another level, RICOH Pro C7200x is an ideal digital colour production press with the ‘5^th Color Station’ which is ideally designed for additional white ink, neon pink and neon yellow. “We are now privileged with this advancement of RICOH Pro C7200x to go beyond CMYK for simulating special effects on print outputs,” says Mr Sonawane, adding, “It can churn on a broad range of media comprising both lightweight and heavyweight stocks up to 360 gsm.

He continues, “We are thoroughly excited about our partnership with Monotech Systems whose highly committed after-sales service team is always alert to provide every bit of help we need from them.

Backed by a team of 12 professionals, among which two are highly-skilled graphic designers, Aakar Printpack works for customers across Maharashtra. “However, we can say our customer base is expansively extended to pan-India level, because we have some clients like India Post which are not region or state specific. Well, what we are looking ahead is to work for clients across the nation using best-in-class machines like RICOH Pro C7200x and others from authentic suppliers like Monotech Systems.
