Autoprint’s 20×30 machine
Autoprint is reported to have cancelled their plans for a 20 x 30 inches offset machine.
Autoprint’s 20 x30 inches Offset Machine
Autoprint is reported to be planning on launching a 20 inches x 30 inches single color offset machine. This will help them move from being a munufaturer of only mini offset machines. The policy change is due to the falling demand of small size machines all over the world. There is a great shift from single color jobs to multicolor ones everywhere and hence the fall in demand. Moreover the success of digital printing is replacing many mini offset machines.
Autoprint’s New Four Color Printing Machine
During the recent Print Pack 2009, Autoprint displayed their new innovation – the Dion 450, a four color printing machine from Autoprint’s own stable. The Dion 450 is a single crown size (15″x20″) printing machine. It is not so automated like other imported machines in India as automation is not so necessary here compared with the additional cost that will fall upon the machine price. The machine comes with the Kompac dampening system on all four units and a powder spary at the delivery end. There are sensors to stop the machine in case of paper jam on any of the blankets. The whole machine is pneumatically controlled and there are no levers for the inking or dampening process. The printing quality is quite nice and with some training any experienced operator should be able to run the machine with ease. On the whole, I would say it is a very good machine with respect to its price and performance ratio. The basic price of the machine is 33,00,000 (Thirty three lakhs).
