Recognizing the importance of innovation, productivity, and staying ahead of others, Varanasi-based Kamala Press Pvt. Ltd. continuously seeks ways to enhance its print offering. In light of this, the leading commercial printer in the Holy City has bought a brand new RICOH Pro C9500, a second digital colour production press from Monotech Systems Limited, which manufactures cutting-edge machines and provides one-stop solutions for the printing & packaging industry globally.
A decision driven by their commitment to meet the evolving demands of customers, Mr Anjani Kumar Singh, Founder & Managing Director of Kamala Press Pvt. Ltd., says, “We decided to buy the RICOH Pro C9500 for high-volume jobs and larger poster-size graphics.” He adds, “Being the latest and upgraded model, this new RICOH press is comparatively compact and robust with many added features and capacities.”
He continues, “Among the added advancements, media handling capacity of RICOH Pro C9500 is substantial. It can print on thicker and larger size media which we never produced earlier.” Capable to print on media of thicknesses up to 470gsm, RICOH Pro C9500 handles sheets up to 49.9inch and banner sheets up to 38inch, delivering oversized graphics in the industry’s leading resolution of 2400×4800 dpi at faster speed of 115 ppm, that is upgradable up to 135ppm.
Currently running alongside the new RICOH Pro C9500 on the production floor of Kamala Press Pvt. Ltd. is the RICOH Pro C7200X with 5th Color Station, which was also bought from Monotech Systems last year. “Now, combined outputs of these two workhorses deliver integrated print solutions for our customers which include a host of print buyers and corporate biggies,” tells Mr Singh, adding, “RICOH Pro C7200X has its own prowess to make breathtaking prints in 11 colours — CMYK + 5th Color Station’s Gold, Silver, White, Clear, Neon Pink, Neon Yellow, and Invisible Red.”
RICOH Pro C9500 features EFI® Fiery® Digital Print Servers which are crucial for optimising efficiency & quality in today’s print operations. Its intuitive Fiery® Command WorkStation® facilitates precise job management and colour control, enabling quick production of personalised products with the variable data printing (VDP) capabilities of the RICOH Pro C9500 in exceptional RIP speeds and smooth PDF workflows.
According to Mr Singh, they are now capable to elevate prints using the new RICOH Pro C9500. “In addition, we have streamlined our production process too using this new digital production press with fast turnaround time, which in turn enables us to cater exceptional outputs in record time,” he mentions, adding that they are also proud of being the first owner of RICOH Pro C9500 in the Holy City.

Ltd. offers a range of products such as brochures, catalogues, leaflets, folders, wobblers, menu cards, newsletters, corporate stationeries, envelopes, utility boxes, posters, etc. “In addition to traditional offset printing, we are moving ahead on the digital front using the rightly chosen RICOH digital presses for which we are so thankful to Monotech Systems for the machines, their support, and everything they provide us,” concludes Mr Singh.
