Partner Gautam Bajaj said the investment would "streamline" the print business process "from estimating through to production, delivery and invoicing".

Located in Sadar-Cantonment, family-run Army Printing Press was established in 1952 and is now a specialist in publication printing, sigange and outdoor advertising, as well as security printing.

It has an in-house designing facility and works with a fully digital CTP workflow.

The company currently is equipped with a single-colour Heidelberg, a two-colour Akiyama and four-colour Dominant offset machines of various sizes.

Bajaj said: "We use infra-red dryers, alcohol dampening, computerised printing controls – inking and registration – to enable fast makereadies with minimum wastage.

"We also use duct-fresh, quick-drying inks for printing on coated matt stock, enabling quick work and turn."

Army Press' bindery unit is still relatively new with machines from Polar, Brehmer, Polygraph and Autoprint. It contains a perfect binding, paper folding and three-knife trimmer, along with various saddlestitchers, foil stamping and die-embossing machines.

Bajaj said of the service the company offers: "The future of printing services is moving towards total print content management solutions rather than mere reprography of data.

"It is our mission to champion the cause of print and to keep alive the capacity to educate, inform, excite and stimulate the reader's mind."
