Chennai-based Proteck has installed the Horizon kit at print companies which include Manipal Press, Repromen Offset, Ramya Reprographics, Ad Process, Print Point, Jwalamukhi, Kolor Kode, Canverra Digitals and Pattabi (in Mysore).

According to Proteck's sales manager in Bengaluru, B S Chandrashekar, printers in the city are investing in order to make a saving.

He said: "Earlier printers used to outsource their post-press and their complex folding jobs, but now they prefer to do the jobs in-house.  Doing the work in-house has helped printers increase the amount of jobs they can complete. Our delivery times are faster because we are no longer tied to waiting for outside operations to fold or bind and send the work back."

Print companies like Ramya Reprographics and Repromen Offset have opted for a raft of folders and perfect binder from Horizon.

P Narendra of Ramya who produces books and printed literature  said: "We have invested in both offset and digital presses. A proper finishing system, eliminates bottleneck in the process."
