Kumar Printers has come a long way since we wrote about them last in September 2004. The company had just installed a brand new Heidelberg 6-colour CD 102 at the time. As we wrote more than four years ago, Kumar Printers are the leading board-packaging printers of North India and one of several who have invested in brand new multicolour presses.

We have written in the past in Indian Printer and Publisher about TCPL’s plant in Silvassa in the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli about three hours north of Mumbai. TCPL was incorporated in August 1987 and began production at Silvassa in April 1990. When we visited this plant a few years ago we were impressed not only by promoter Saket Kanoria’s art collection decorating the front office walls

The inkjet solutions for packaging went beyond the usual specialty marking systems to actually demonstrate the full scale colour production of large size board and corrugated cartons on machines such as the very fast and the SunJet that was demonstrated at a customer site near Dusseldorf. Many of the newer flatbed UV inkjet printers such as the HP Scitex XP5300 and XP 2700 can also be used for some of these POP applications. Both of these are near the dozen mark as far as Indian installs.
