Koppara buys Ricoh C751 from the debut of digital portfolio at Heidelberg's PMA

The open house comes in continuation of an agreement between Heidelberg India and Ricoh India following the global partnership in November leading to a stratgic co-operation of Heidelberg and Ricoh in India.

The global partnership enables Heidelberg to sell Ricoh's latest color digital presses - the Ricoh Pro C901 and Ricoh Pro C751 series, as part of Heidelberg’s total print solution. 

The open house resulted in Kerela-based Koppara Enterprises signing an order for Ricoh C751 digital press. Rajeev Ramakrishnan of Koppara Enterprises said, "I was impressed with the near-offset quality and productivity of the Ricoh C751."

Two sessions were conducted on the first day, which were attended by printers primarily from the Southern region, whereas the second day had only one session which was attended by printers from other regions.

A Hedielberg spokesperson said, "The objective was to make printers aware of the commercial viability of having both offset and digital technologies working together. The open house was successful and printers had a chance to see for themselves the live production of both offset and digital, compare samples and access the benefit of hybrid solutions to their bottom-line."

The open house showcased the various features of the Ricoh digital printing equipment like variable data printing, packaging printing and how digital print quality matched with offset. A print job was printed with Ricoh C751 press and the same was printed in the Heidelberg Speedmaster SM74 press, to compare the print quality.
