Print Vision in Ahmedabad strengthened its production setup when it installed a second RMGT 920 six-colour plus coater in March 2025.
The company already operated a Mitsubishi Diamond 3000 and a first RMGT 920 six-colour plus coater UV press that had been installed in 2018. Director Falith Pandyaa said the 2018 press had marked the company’s entry into packaging after years of being known primarily for commercial work. “The shift into packaging began when the first RMGT arrived and it opened a new direction for us,” he said.
The need for a second press grew steadily post-Covid-19, when commercial work returned in unpredictable patterns. The UV press was handling both UV and non-UV printing, but switching between the two modes frequently disrupted planning. Pandyaa said customers rarely followed a sequence of purchase order, artwork and approval. Most jobs appeared without notice and deadlines were tight. “The chaos was real and the scheduling was breaking. We were losing customers because we could not deliver on time,” he said. By early 2025 the company had begun losing a day or more each week simply in changing modes.
The second RMGT installed in 2025 was a non-UV press but it was delivered in a UV-prepared configuration and a bit of automation. Both presses shared the same size, configuration, plates and blankets, which gave Print Vision a fully interchangeable setup. “If the UV press was free and the conventional side was overloaded, we could wash up and move the job across. It worked beautifully,” Pandyaa said. He added that the new press could be converted into ultraviolet by transferring the lamps from the older machine whenever required. The system allowed the company to run simultaneous jobs, including a recent 300-page book that was printed on both presses and delivered within four days.
Pandyaa said his confidence in Mitsubishi and RMGT came from years of reliable performance. The Diamond 3000 press continues to run for more than seventeen years and remained an anchor at the original site. “That press kept going and my operator stayed with it for decades. They will perhaps retire together,” he quipped.
The decision to continue with RMGT for the second investment came from both machine performance and the working relationship with the supplier. Pandyaa said the deal was completed quickly because RMGT understood the requirement clearly. “We knew what we needed and they responded immediately,” he said.
The investment was made cautiously because the commercial print market no longer rewarded technology upgrades. Pandyaa said the company resisted new purchases for two years because clients did not differentiate between work produced on advanced equipment and work produced by improvised setups. “If we were not losing customers we would not have invested. Technology had very little meaning in commercial work because no one cared how the job was printed. The market had changed,” he said. Packaging, however, required dependable throughput and faster completion cycles. High volume packaging jobs could not be done with slow or multi pass processes.
Pandyaa also pointed to a challenging period for rigid box manufacturing in Ahmedabad. Many small entrants started semi -automatic lines with minimal overheads and pushed down prices in the market. Several units that opened after Covid-19 remain idle. He described the segment as seasonal and over supplied. Print Vision’s own rigid box line failed due to incorrect equipment supplied by a vendor. As packaging work continues to rise, Pandyaa has begun feeling pressure in finishing because he is at present, running one punching and pasting line that serves two presses. He expects packaging work to exceed commercial work by early 2026. “That’s when I may have to look at bolstering the finishing division,” he said.
The new installation pushes Print Vision into high-gear growth. Pandyaa concluded, “The advanced press technology will act as a powerful force multiplier, spurring new investment across pre- and post-press as the company races to unleash its full production power."
