“The IDS-3D is a unique patented multifunction fully automatic close loop control system with two digital cameras each with build-in microprocessors, providing real-time data processing of the measured data,” he explains.

Pandya says all visitors who are or want to be a part of the printing and graphic art industry, are the company’s target. “It seems printers and printing companies are becoming more quality-oriented and are concerned about getting better print quality from their printing equipment."

"Tendency to invest in new and expensive presses is being replaced by inclination towards more efficient and automation of existing presses. In that sense, investment potential for the products, which can bring better ROI, is increasing and growth of new equipments or capacities are stagnant,” he says, adding that the company wants to establish new contacts for potential business by meeting printing industry people at one platform.

QI also wants to understand the market trends, especially in the newspaper industry and create awareness about the necessity of automation of quality controls among newspaper printers.

The news in December 2014 was, the Times Group, had opted for the press automation solution from QI Press Controls. The investment is for The Times of India’s Manroland Geoman double width newspaper press, – six tower and one folder (twin), at its Ghaziabad location. The order consists of 12 motorised mRC-3D cameras for register control and 12 motorised mRC-3D cameras for cut-off control.
