‘We have been associated with Monotech Systems for almost ten years now. Earlier, we purchased a Konica Minolta kit and a few wide-format printers from Monotech Systems,’ said Nishant Sethi, CEO of Redray Global. ‘Now, we decided to go for the Ricoh digital press to keep our quality standards intact. Monotech Systems’ service has been the major attribute that has kept us holding onto them. Ricoh has been a very good investment, and for our budget, the Ricoh Pro C5300S was the best buy option.’

According to Sethi, there has been a rising demand for digitally printed jobs. With the rise of e-commerce, budding entrepreneurs are developing product lines with a small initial demand, which can be achieved easily in digital. 

‘We have also shifted most of our short-run jobs on the Ricoh Pro C5300S, added Sethi. ‘We do exclusive work related to sampling, packaging, labeling, and some other unique products that we offer. With so many brands now offering production printers, there has been a price war in the job work market with refurbished lines. But investing in a new machine always keeps us on edge over others.’

The company opted for Ricoh equipment guided by its quality standards. ‘We were waiting for it to come back to India after a long break. Since our focus is not the usual commercial printing, adopting Ricoh was not a tough decision. We have got what we wanted in terms of price, quality and service,’ said Sethi. 

Along with the Ricoh, the company has also installed a Roland 640i for print and cut labels, a digital die-cutter for short-run shaped label jobs, and an automatic rigid box-making machine with an auto-gluer, side-pasting and a grooving machine.

Sethi said there had been a remarkable shift in production efficiency and delivery deadlines since the installation. ‘We have also seen a shift in customer satisfaction with the better quality delivered. Also, 350-gsm duplex printing has enabled us to increase our media usage, thus offering more options to our clients,’ he concluded.
