With India’s first EPSON SurePress L-6534VW, Prateek Graphics redefines labels on another level.
A subsidiary of Prateek Metal Industries, Sonipat (Haryana)-based Prateek Graphics has been a prominent manufacturer of printed labels & stickers that benchmark a crest of quality and innovation. The company has scaled a new height in printing & production of premium quality labels following the installation of India’s first EPSON SurePress L-6534VW, a highly automated UV label press with PrecisionCore printheads.
Incepted in the year 1994 in New Delhi, Prateek Metal Industries has eventually expanded into a bigger facility of 25,000sqft at Sonipat in Haryana where Prateek Graphics is now changing the game of label printing using the newly installed EPSON SurePress L-6534VW. “We have a fleet of machines comprising label presses of different models & configurations as well as a line of post-press finishing equipment. But we totally redefine label into another level using the new EPSON UV label press which we bought from EPSON India,” tells Mr Manoj Arora, Director, Prateek Graphics.
Mr Arora continues, “In addition to our excitement of running the advanced EPSON SurePress L-6534VW, we are truly proud of being India’s first owner of this next-generation UV label press.” He adds that they immediately decided to invest in the EPSON label press right in the first place because print samples from the press stunningly impressed them, its price reasonable, and it rather performs more better than the other machines in its class.
Ideally engineered for short- to mid-volume prime labels, EPSON SurePress L-6534VW is highly automated and capable to deliver exceptional quality prints as fast as 164ft/min using high-pigment and low-migration ink that has the quality to eliminate the need for pre-coating substrates. Equipped with PrecisionCore printheads, the press delivers prints in resolution up to 600x1200dpi. EPSON’s Variable Sized Droplet Technology (VSDT) in the press produces ultra-sharp graphics as small as 3.2pL.
“For years, we have been running a couple of high-end digital label presses, roll & sheetfed models, from another reputed global brand. However, there’s something about the EPSON SurePress L-6534VW which other machines in its class cannot compete,” says Mr Arora. He adds, “This new digital UV label press boasts many capabilities revolving around high-quality output, high-productivity, print monitoring, multiple-speed modes, stable operations… all these make it a press standing far ahead of competitors.”
Traditionally, many label manufacturers in India opt for screen printing technology. A major drawback involves in this traditional way is the lot of steps it requires to follow till the completion of the final products. In this context, no other digital presses in the current market are comparable to EPSON SurePress L-6534VW which is fully automated and compatible with wide varieties of substrates.
Digital varnishing capability of this EPSON UV label press is designed for selective gloss or matte finishes. Combining high-opacity white ink, UV printing, and a drum pattern system, this press is a perfect machine for producing vibrant and durable labels for clients across the key industrial sectors like cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, F&G, industrial products, and others.
After all, EPSON SurePress L-6534VW is one of the most ideal digital label presses ever launched in the market for optimising productivity and minimising downtimes. For this, it offers additional print modes of 30-m/min and 50-m/min for faster and high-quality print runs. Nevertheless, inks of this EPSON SurePress are fully complied with the world’s best food standards and safety regulations. Mr Arora conclusively states that they just roll up sleeves to convert what their clients imagine about labels into reality because they now run first EPSON SurePress L-6534VW in India in their facility.
