Scan Press reinforces its trust in Kodak

Ahmedabad-based Scan Press has taken another big step forward by installing its fourth Kodak CTP machine, again partnering with Insight Print Communications.

Founded in 1986 by Kantibhai Hirpara and Kantibhai Ladhani, Scan Press began with manual plate-making and pre-press positives. In 2008, the company moved into digital CTP technology with its first Kodak Trendsetter 3, which laid the foundation for its future growth. 

Today, with four Kodak CTPs in operation, Scan Press is one of the most reputed plate bureaus in Gujarat. Known for its high-quality output, consistency, and reliability, the team continues to deliver top-notch platemaking solutions to printers across the region.

"Our relationship with Kodak and Insight has been there for the last 20 years, and the foundations of this relationship are trust and performance. Every Kodak machine we’ve installed has delivered exactly what we required — reliability, quality, and low maintenance. That’s why we didn’t think twice about adding a fourth,” said Kantibhai Hirpara, partner of Scan Press.

The popular Kodak Trendsetter Q400 platesetter is designed to meet the challenges of every business environment. Based on the same trusted technology that printers have depended on for over 20 years, the Trendsetter has evolved to help printers adapt and grow. 

Fully compatible with Sonara process-free plates, it eliminates the need for processing chemicals and cuts power consumption by up to 30%, using just 770 watts while imaging. The compact MCU also reduces waste and space by up to 65%.

Equipped with Kodak Squarespot technology, the Trendsetter delivers consistent, high-quality imaging, minimising remakes, reducing waste, and ensuring print quality that keeps customers coming back.

“Team Insight has truly been the backbone of our business. Raja, its national sales head, has been instrumental in Scan Press’s growth journey. His guidance and expertise have helped us adopt the right technology and stay ahead of the curve. With Insight’s dependable service support, we consistently deliver high-quality plates to our customers, on time and with confidence," said Kantibhai Ladhani, reflecting on his long-standing association with Insight.

“Kodak CTP solutions have consistently delivered the best return on investment for our customers. The addition of Sonora process-free plates not only enhances operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness but also supports sustainability by reducing environmental impact. We truly value the trust Scan Press has placed in us and remain committed to supporting their continued growth,” said Ajay Aggarwal, MD & CEO, Insight Print Communications.
