Bhabani Offset boosts capacity with Speedmaster

The investment, commissioned at the company’s production facility, comes at a time when demand for high-quality commercial print such as brochures, catalogues and books continues to grow in the region. By adding the four-colour press to its existing fleet, Bhabani Offset aims to enhance turnaround times while maintaining consistency across both short and long runs.

Explaining the rationale, Bidhan Dev, managing director of Bhabani Offset, says the decision was driven by the need to balance speed with precision in an increasingly competitive market. He notes that the new Heidelberg Speedmaster CX 92 enables the company to “deliver superior quality with faster turnaround times,” strengthening its service commitment to customers.

The Speedmaster CX 92, designed for DIN-format commercial printing, operates at speeds of up to 15,000 sheets per hour and supports sheet sizes up to 650×940 mm. Its automation features, including advanced colour registration and workflow integration, allow for stable production and reduced manual intervention. Dev explained, “These capabilities have significantly improved production efficiency and consistency, particularly for high-volume jobs.”

Bhabani Offset operates a robust and diversified production environment. Its pressroom includes multiple Heidelberg installations like Speedmaster CD 102 5+LX, Speedmaster CD 102 4, Speedmaster CD 74 6+LX, and two Speedmaster 74 presses, enabling efficient execution of a wide spectrum of commercial and value-added print jobs. The pre-press department is equipped with three Suprasetter CtP systems, complemented by Prinect workflow solutions, ensuring accurate plate imaging and seamless production management. Dev points out that automation tools such as Intellistart 3 reduce job change times, allowing operators to focus on output rather than process adjustments.

The company’s pre-press and post-press infrastructure further supports this integrated approach. With CTP systems and finishing equipment in place, Bhabani Offset delivers end-to-end solutions under one roof. Dev said, “This integrated model ensures reliable output across all jobs, supported by the use of standardised consumables for colour stability. We are also consistent investors in Heidelberg technology, strengthening our ability to deliver excellence time after time.”

Looking ahead, the investment positions Bhabani Offset to capture higher volumes while maintaining quality benchmarks. Dev concluded that continued technology upgrades will remain central to our company’s growth strategy, as it adapts to evolving customer expectations and tighter delivery timelines in the commercial print segment.

Bhabani Offset also relies on Saphira consumables from Heidelberg, including inks and plates, to ensure consistent colour performance and reliable press output across all applications.
