manroland AG - India: ROLAND 700 HiPrint for leading media company

A ROLAND 700 HiPrint is currently being installed at the Noida printing facility of HT Media Limited to boost its commercial printing capacity.

HT Media Limited now has a five-color ROLAND 700 HiPrint with coater. The printing system is equipped with TelePresence which permits fast remote diagnosis when service is needed and the TelePresence Maintenance Manager module provides individualized, condition-oriented press maintenance. The ROLAND 700 HiPrint at HT Media Limited will be used for printing advertisements and commercial jobs. This customer was looking for a particularly versatile press with short makeready times that can deliver constantly outstanding quality. One of the reasons for the decision in favor of Offenbach sheetfed printing technology was the good experience that HT Media Limited has had with manroland in newspaper printing. They have been a manroland web offset press user for a long time with two REGIOMAN and three COLORMAN printing systems among others. This Indian company publishes a wide range of media products including the Hindustan Times which is an English-language newspaper with the second-largest circulation in the country.

Raj Nargis, Managing Director of manroland India: “We are very proud that such a large and successful group as HT Media Limited has banked on the ROLAND 700 HiPrint and us as their service partner. We look forward to offering them consistent service support to ensure optimal production efficiency and product value for their specific business requirements.”
