Latex printers from Hp are meant for outdoor and indoor signages. Latex inks are odorless and environment friendly. Signages and hoardings from latex printers were widely used for the Commonwealth Games publicity in New Delhi. The smaller printer from Hp with a width of 64 inches comes to around Rs. 25 lakhs. The cost of printing comes to around Rs. 6 per square foot excluding the cost of media, labor and rent. This is at about 60 to 70 percent ink coverage. This printer seems to be a better option than the Epson GS 6000 eco solvent printer which is around 18 lakhs. Various media like flex, vinyl, etc can be used and printing on carry bags using recycled materials can also be done. With the health hazards associated with solvent and eco solvent printers, latex is a good investment to make.

Digital offset presses like Truepress costs around Rs. 2 crore and above. The cost of plates and printing comes to around Rs. 1300/- for a four color job for 1000 copies excluding paper cost. The plates are imaged inside the press and a four color job can be completed at less than half an hour. This would be an A3+ job. The life of the machine according to the manufacturer comes to around 10 years. One point to remember is that at this price you could get a Japanese 4 color traditional offset press with double the printing size. Only thing is that you would have to spend around additional Rs. 50 lakhs for a ctp system.
