It allows us to offer our customers the value of quality and convenience,” she added.

The Versant has a duty cycle of 12.5 lakhs A4 impressions and Mahesh said this capacity of the machine gives the company the strength to large volumes with faster turnaround time. “It also gives the best of quality on multiple substrates. This will in turn help us dabble with a variety of applications from polyesters, linens to specialty/ textured media. Overall, we look to reduce our overall costs, produce more and grow our clientele base across industry segment,” she said.

The machine is feature-rich, from ten-bit RIP processing to a full width array that allows online calibration, profiling and image to media alignment. Also, the compact belt fuser enables the machine to handle wide variety of substrates.
