Ricoh — Saravanan and Satish of Saravana Graphics with their new acquisitions.

Saravana Graphics, a leading packaging and commercial printing specialist at Tirupur in Tamil Nadu, has bought two latest-generation presses— the Ricoh Pro 8320S Monochrome Digital Production Press and the RicohPro 7200X 11-Color Digital Production Press from Monotech Systems.

Incorporated in the year 2007 as a brainchild of two brothers, Saravanan and Satish, Saravana Graphics is known for the printing and production of tags and labels for wearable garments and premium commercial prints.

On their other product lines, Saravanan, MD of Saravana Graphics, says they do premium quality photo album printing, fancy cards, gift boxes, etc. They use both offset and digital technologies for short and long-run printing.

The offset production setup of Saravana Graphics is equipped with a Heidelberg Speedmaster SX 74. In addition to the company’s success story in the offset domain, the two new Ricoh production digital presses have helped Saravana Graphics scale new applications in commercial printing. The two digital presses boast advanced features for churning out diverse stocks for varied high-textured graphics.

A fleet of other presses and post-press machines and equipment at the production facility of Saravana Graphics makes the company a one-stop printing and packaging solution provider in the region. The facility is fully equipped with six single-color presses, six die-cutting machines, two paper-cutting machines, and a range of finishing equipment.

Saravanan says, “We chose the two Ricoh digital presses for printing garment tags of various textures and qualities. We use the Ricoh Pro 8320S for printing variable data printing on tags. This monochrome press is ideal for high-end commercial printing jobs. The Ricoh Pro 7200X is a powerhouse of advanced features with its fifth color station. We use this new-generation digital press for auto duplex printing of tags and premium commercial prints.”

The Ricoh Pro 8320S runs at a speed of 136 ppm (pages per minute) for monochrome printing on substrates up to 350 gsm. The Ricoh Pro 7200X is a color printing production workhorse capable of running at a speed of 85 ppm churning on media of up to 360 gsm to produce premium-quality tags and photo printing.
