Vasant Goel, director Gopsons Papers, said: "For any successful business, it is essential to ensure that it is equipped to deliver service in a challenging market. The Rapida 105 does that."
Gopsons Papers cited the need for increasing capacity as the reason for choosing the Rapida 105, which complements the existing fleet of Rapida presses. "We needed more capacity in the 2/2, and we plan to utilise the press mostly for 2/2 perfecting jobs, and which can also print good quality jobs in 4/0 as well."
The new addition will increase the print volume by 100% especially for 2/2 work. The press has been netting 80-100,000 impression per shift per day. According to Aditya Surana, managing director of Indo Polygraph Machinery, dealer for KBA sheetfed presses in India, Rapida 105, a fully automatic press is loaded with central format setting and a high performance anti-static device from Kersten; blanket, roller and impression wash from Technotrans and Eltosch drying system since Gopsons uses coated papers as well.
Gopsons' other recent investments include a Norhaven, a Kolbus book and a Muller Martini inline hardcover production line.
