New Delhi, May 02, 2024: February 14 this year was a big day for Secunderabad-based Mahadeva Digital Press. On that day this commercial printer celebrated the ownership of India’s first RICOH Pro C7500 with additional 5th Color Station. Monotech Systems—a leading machine manufacturer and one-stop solution provider for the printing & packaging industry globally—supplied and installed the RICOH Pro C7500 – 11 color digital production press, which is an upgraded model of its popular predecessor RICOH Pro C7200x.
Established in 2014, Mahadeva Digital Press is an all-time crowded commercial printing corner situated on Somasundaram Street in Secunderabad. “Even though we got emerged in the limelight over the last one decade, most of us in our team of around dozen printing professionals have decades of experience in the commercial printing market. I have been in the industry over the last 33 years,” says Mr Nagaraja Rao, Proprietor of Mahadeva Digital Press. He adds that the main ambition of Mahadeva Digital Press is to move ahead of the ordinaries.
He further adds, “Over the years we have been into a commitment to fulfil what our clients want to the utmost levels of satisfaction. For this, we keep exploring innovative ideas and technologies which can make our works standout amid the crowds and competitors. Our recent purchase of the RICOH Pro C7500 from Monotech Systems is a testimony to our quest for an ideal machine to create highly-innovative and creative graphics.” RICOH Pro C7500 was launched in India by Monotech Systems in the latter part of 2023.
Mahadeva Digital Press engages in printing and production of commercial items such as danglers, letterheads, fliers, invitation cards, business cards, pamphlets, fliers, posters, brochures, folders, bookmarks, etc. In this respect, Mr Rao says they have purchased the new RICOH Pro C7500 with the additional 5th Color Toner station for adding new life to old graphics. He continues, “This upgraded RICOH model is helping us to create special items or end-products such as silver, gold, neon and transparent white stickers as well as met pet labels and all textured cards.”
“Since the day we pushed the ‘start’ button of RICOH Pro C7500 in our production facility, innovations in graphic prints at Mahadeva Digital Press started flying off in whole new vivid colours,” tells Mr Rao. He adds, “We are proud to be India’s first owner of such a digital colour production press designed for churning extraordinarily creative applications. This new machine will surely take our business to the next level, allowing us to look into new opportunities and move into new markets.”
Production setup of Mahadeva Digital Press is equipped with varied digital presses comprising a Konica Minolta AccurioPrint 2100, a RICOH MPW2401 and a line of post-press equipment. However, according to Mr Rao, overall game of creativity in the company’s graphic prints has been changed only when RICOH Pro C7500 arrived in the setup. He further mentions that the new RICOH digital press with the fifth colour capacity is enhancing certain products like fancy invitation cards in amazing texture on 400gsm media.
RICOH Pro C7500 can take up a broad range of light and heavyweight media ranging from 40gsm to 470gsm. Unlocking full spectrum of opportunity and creativity, this new and upgraded RICOH digital colour production press can operate at an printing speed up to 85ppm (pages per minute). Mr Rao conclusively says the RICOH Pro C7500 for premium graphic prints with luxury effects is a kind of lord Shiva’s blessing for Mahadeva Digital Press.
