Epson held a ribbon cutting ceremony and trade press viewing at its Digital Label Press Solution Centre in the Okhla Industrial Estate, New Delhi with a live demonstration of its SurePress L-6534VW – its UV inkjet digital label press capable of speeds up to 50 meters a minute.
Epson claims that the press is built for production volumes of up to 1 million linear meters per month, although its first two customers and users in the New Delhi NCR region, who were present at the event, are currently reaching much lower monthly volumes – volumes they nevertheless hope to triple as demand picks up.
“We are delighted to see this landmark press in production here in India,” said Deepak Walia, managing director, Manroland Sheetfed India. “The successful first print is a proud moment for both our team and our valued partner, Manohar Filaments. This installation is poised to redefine productivity, elevate print quality, and offer an unmatched range of print applications in a single pass.”
With this new press, Manohar Filaments can now deliver striking, high-quality print applications with unique effects and finishes that set their products apart in the market, all achieved in a single pass and in line with today’s eco-friendly practices.
A special pooja ceremony was conducted onsite to invoke blessings for a smooth and prosperous operational journey. This was followed by a celebratory gathering, honoring the dedicated engineering and project teams whose hard work turned this ambitious vision into reality.
