Ghaziabad-based Ravindra Electrostat recently installed a Konika Minolta AccurioPressC12000 printer. The press in addition to two AccurioPress C6085 that the commercial printer installed in 2018 and 2019 to boost their production.

Established in 1989, Ravindra Electrostat was initially a single photostat shop run by their father. The enterprise expanded to three shops in Nayug market, Ghaziabad, when the brothers Gurpreet Singh Nanda and Amandeep Singh Nanda joined the family business in 2007. The shops have a production capacity of up to 8 lakh prints in a month, raising their capacity by two times since the pandemic.

Elaborating on their deals, Gurpreet Singh Nanda said; “We purchased the first Konika Minolta AccurioPress C6085 in 2018. After this, both our capacity and volume increased gradually and we purchased another AccurioPress C6085 in 2019.”

“Konika Minolta first approached us in 2014. Neither my brother nor I had enough information about printing presses and so we had to turn them down. But that changed in 2018 with the first installation put up by our late father,” he said.

Speaking about their production capacity, Nanda said, “Among our eight lakh produced prints, half is done on the two AccurioPress C6085 and the other half on the C12000. Even on days when the market is down, for instance, this month, the presses have enabled our capacity to manage six lakh prints at minimum. Our bond with Konika has grown so strong that if they release a machine today, Ravindra Electrostat will install it today.”
