For some years now, Sivakasi based Graphic Reproduction Syndicate (GRS) has been playing a key role in producing self-adhesive labels in the Indian label industry. The strength of its market position is supported to a major extent by letter presses and Flexo technologies from Mark Andy. In fact not many know that the first machine ever sold by Flexo Image Graphics in South India was a Mark Andy Scout in the month of January 2002 to GRS. Yes GRS was FIG's first client when they started operations in South by selling Mark Andy machines. Naturally, when GRS was planning to expand its capacity in flexographic operations, could GRS think of any other press to be added? The answer was an emphatic "No" by Mr. D. Karunakaran, Director of Graphic Reproduction Syndicate.
One of the newest additions to the GRS family is second Mark Andy Press from Flexo Image Graphics (FIG). However, this time GRS has gone in for the much talked about Performance Series P7 printing system, after their only Mark Andy Scout. The company's fast-paced growth, along with its need to deliver high quality labels efficiently and consistently, led them to explore modern technology to meet their demands.
GRS that was toying with the idea of adding a new high end press and had already spent some time searching for the right press to help it gain a foothold in the flexographic printing sector. According to Mr. Karunakaran, a key criterion in comparing possible alternatives was that the total investment in a new press complete with cutting-edge technology should also be in tune with the other flexographic press that it has in their plant. The company had to consider its decision very carefully as this investment would add a new process to its overall portfolio of printing methods. For GRS, the new P7 came onto the market at just the right time.
The most technologically advanced offering in the newest line of Mark Andy presses, the P7 is the high-end, efficient solution for the most complex print applications. Multiple servos accommodate more functions at each print station and the independent web pacing allows enhanced web tension management over traditional flexo presses. Integral to the success of the machine is the simplicity of the print station design, guaranteeing consistency and accuracy, shift-to-shift and day-to-day. Additional advantages over traditional presses include short web paths and minimal ink usage requirements resulting in waste savings up to 50% and fast changeover times for increased productivity. Looking back, Mr. Karunakaran is pleased that they opted for the P7: "For GRS, this was definitely the right press at the right time. And GRS is also the pioneer and one of the first label printers in India to use the new machine concept of the P7 Performance Series press," said Mr. Karunakaran.

Based in Sivakasi, India, Graphic Reproduction Syndicate (GRS) has purchased a second Mark Andy press from Flexo Image Graphics (FIG), opting for a Performance Series P7 printing system.
The 13 inch 8-color dual servo platform press is capable of high quality combination printing and includes cold foil, rotary screen and chilled UV curing options.
Short make-ready times and low waste levels were key to the decision to buy the press. 'The company had to consider its decision very carefully as this investment would add a new process to its overall portfolio of printing methods,' said Mr Karunakaran, director of GRS.
The P7 is a fully servo-driven press with independent web pacing allowing enhanced web tension management. Additional advantages include a short web path, economic ink usage requirements and fast changeover times.
Karunakaran said, 'GRS is one of the first label printers in India to use the new machine concept of the P7 Performance Series press. Shorter deadlines and declining profitability made it necessary to invest in cutting-edge production capacities. Although the applications involved in the orders could have been carried out using existing equipment, the method of production would not have met economic needs.'
Karunakaran confirmed that 'the new press not only boosts productivity and flexibility, but has cut manufacturing times considerably. With shorter make ready times, we are now able to be much more flexible in responding to our customers' short deadline requests.
'The versatility of the press allows us to print and finish any configuration of labels and accepts a wide variety of substrates. The decision to purchase the P7 as a high end flexo press was unanimous by our team and we are happy that we are now fully equipped to produce high-quality pressure-sensitive labels as per our customers' requirements – a value-added service to our already extensive set of label printing solutions.
