The mid-production presses have the ability to print from 80 to 100 pages per minute on a stock of up to 350gsm. The Versant 180 now capable of a duty-cycle of 7.5-lakh prints per month which the Versant 3100 can print 12.5-lakh prints per month. The EFI Fiery 180 Print Server NX Pro will drive the Versant 180 while the NX Premium will fire 3100’s prints.

The new automation like the new Fiery and automated Color Quality Suite with inline spectrophotometer, Balaji claimed, will achieve a new standard of image quality and will deliver four times more pixel at a blazing speed as well double the capacity to print. “It’s a perfect fit for the Indian print market – productivity and efficiency which will reduce production costs and fuel profitability.”
