Pune-based Unique Offset acquired a Ricoh Pro C651 in March 2014.
This has been added to expand the firms digital printing solution.
The main advantage in the past few months, according to Mandar Thakurdesai of Unique Offset, is how the firm's capacity has upped and client base widened. More importantly it enabled the traditional offset player to "bring outsourced work in-house to reduce costs and boost output."
According to Thakurdesai, it has been a good investment. He felt it helped the firm to benefit from the changes in the Pune marketplace in a challenging climate.
Thakurdesai said, "Unique offset has a reputation for consistently producing high quality products. Now with the C651 we can produce proofs or even short-run jobs for our customers."
Thakurdesai added, “In the past we were spending quite a sum of money on outsourcing jobs. Now we not only save that, but also ensure quality and customer’s satisfaction.”
