Autoprint Mini Offset Machines

Dion250
KnightAutoprint is a mini offset printing machine manufacturer based in Coimbatore in India. It has received several awards for excellence in printing machine manufacturing in India. It may be safe to consider that it is now the best manufacturer in India when it comes to mini offset machines.

At our press we have one single color Autoprint Knight Offset Machine with the optional Kompac Dampening. This is the best single color mini offset machine that Autoprint has to offer at present. We use the machine daily for producing color printing materials. The Knight machine is quite suitable for multicolor jobs in runs within a thousand or two. It has two inking form rollers with a total of 15 ink rollers. The cost of the machine with the kompac dampening system comes under Rs. 800,000/- in India along with all taxes.

Autoprint has come out with its new two color mini offset machine, Autoprint Dion 250. This is a replacement to the Knight 250 CB which was introduced for a short period and withdrawn from the market due to some technical problems. I am yet to receive information on this new product because the sales have really not started at present. The Autoprint Dion is under Rs. 1,500,000 in India.

It may be remembered that Autoprint had ambitiously launched a mini offset four color machine in the Indian market some one or two years back but it failed due to problems such as registration issues. Hopefully they will come out with a good replacement soon. Autoprint is a name that you can rely upon. Their country wide support is excellent with sufficient engineers all over the nation.
