As far as India is concerned, I feel that the only true competitor to Autoprint or Swift companies would be Gallantic from Gujarat. In some ways the machines produced by Gallantic is superior to the other companies due to their inbuilt automatic dampening system. The price of the machines is also very competitive especially compared to Autoprint whose machines are known for their high price. Gallantic has recently developed their indigenous dampening system even further with the introduction of Galmatic dampening system which is a copy of the world renowned Crystalline Dampening system. This dampening system further enhances their machine capacity especially with regard to four color printing in single color machines. But there are news that Gallantic is also planning to come out with a two color and four color machine in the near future. Gallantic single color machines cost under Rs. 3,00,000/- for the 15×10 inches; under Rs. 3,50,000 for A3 size machine and under Rs. 4,50,000 for their 15×20 size machine. All machines come with inbuilt automatic dampening system. There are many advantages with the automatic dampening system as there is no possibility of scum appearing on the printed sheets. The prints are also glossier and there is minimum wastage of paper. Ink consumption also comes down as the sheets are printed with a thinner coating of ink. Problem of printing solids in small machines is also removed and there are less problems in printing which the machines of Autoprint or Swift or any other company in India cannot provide. There is an exception to this as Autoprint does provide automatic dampening system as an option in their machines but you would have to pay a hefty amount of around Rs.1,20,000 extra for that. The reason being that their Kompac automatic dampening system is imported from USA  and not indigenously manufactured like Gallantic. The downside of Gallantic machines is the machine structure which is quite light compared to Autoprint. But if you have prompt service available from Gallantic in your region then there is not much of a problem.
