Greater Noida-based Color 8 Company has bought a new Ricoh Pro C7500, an advanced digital production press with fifth color station, supplied and installed by Monotech Systems, to improve its label printing capabilities.
Upgraded from its predecessor Ricoh Pro C7200x and launched it in India by Monotech last year, the Ricoh Pro C7500 enables 11-color printing encompassing traditional CMYK and fifth color station toners for white toner, gold, silver, neon pink, neon yellow, clear, and invisible red for adding extra effects and elements to prints. “The addition of this flexible digital production press has empowered us to benchmark new quality and innovation in label printing,” says Mayank Singh, proprietor of Color 8 Company.
“Our production facility is equipped with a complete portfolio of machines, comprising a 4-color flexo roll label printing press, a Xerox Versant 180 digital production press and a string of finishing equipment including a cutting plotter. However, we have gained a new approach to adding captivating textures and effects to label prints using the fifth color station of Ricoh Pro C7500. For example, we now deliver bespoke effects of PET clear in labels using this digital press.”
The Ricoh Pro C7500’s fifth color station is designed to unearth a new level of custom-created effects of special colors. In addition, the new Ricoh digital color production press is capable of operating at a speed of 85 ppm, upgradable to 95 ppm (pages per minute), delivering prints in the industry’s leading resolution of 2400×4800 dpi, compatibly on varied media ranging from 40 gsm to 470 gsm, suitably for the need of Color 8 Company to produce out-of-the-box label graphics.
Since its inception in the year 2018, Color 8 Company has been predominantly into label printing. They work for several reputed brands from diverse market segments. “Labels are our mainstay in business. Around 90% of our overall activities involve label printing and a little bit of commercial and others,” says Singh, adding the label printing market is prone to innovative ideas that would never turn into products without capable machines such as the Ricoh Pro C7500.
With a team of 15 professionals for label printing and more, Color 8 Company has a vast client base in Delhi-NCR. “Nowadays, we are striving to make our end products, which mean labels, to achieve striking results through specialty printing or effects such as glossy, matte or glitter surfaces. In this, combining print layers with special textures can get catchy results, which is now possible only with the Ricoh Pro C7500 and for this, we are grateful to Monotech Systems,” says Singh.
