Q.I. Press Controls (QIPC) has recently received an order for mRC-3D camera from Pudhari Publications in Kolhapur. The newspaper printing house produces the popular Marathi daily Pudhari published from Maharashtra, Goa and North Karnataka.

Waste saving

The QIPC mRC-3D-system for colour register is unique in the world. It features the fastest camera capable to measure accurately, regardless of the focus distance and the distortions of the web. As a result, the response time remains very limited and large waste saving can be realised. By equipping the system with double sensors, the possibilities become twice as large and depth can be handled with more efficiently. This is very important in case of flutter, waves and/or creases in the webs.

Long-term cooperation

Pudhari Publications has been familiar with the QIPC systems for some time. The latest order of QIPC mRC-3D-system for its Kolhapur plant fits into a long-term cooperation. The newspaper printer benefits from the above-mentioned features of the mRC-3D-system. “The costs for printing plants are constantly increasing and we were looking for a way to keep them under control,” explains Dr Yogesh Jadav, Managing Director of Pudhari Publications Pvt Ltd. On their partnership with QIPC, he adds, “Thanks to QIPC, we can realise saving in waste and simplify our production.”
