Our machines are equally competitive in terms of quality but at a fraction of the cost of the other high-end machines.”
As in any other industries, the print sector has also been evolving. From using solvent inks, the technology has shifted to eco-solvent inks. The industry has now gone through an even greener solution with UV inks.
