Mumbai-based Bombay Enterprise recently invested in a Ricoh Pro C9500 digital colour production press, supplied and installed by Monotech Systems. 18 Apr 2025 | By PrintWeek Team Dipu Devda of Bombay Enterprise with the Ricoh Pro C9500 In the offset and commercial printing market for the last two decades, Bombay Enterprise caters to arrays of bespoke end-products, such as business cards, invitation cards, brochures, clothe and garment tags, etc. The company is backed by a team of 12 skilled and experienced printing and production professionals. Dipu Devda, operational dDirector, Bombay Enterprise, said, "In the beginning, we were into offset printing, then gradually expanded to digital production printing with a focus on print embellishment using an AccurioShine 3600. Nevertheless, what we felt was the shortage of a digital colour production press which we eventually found in the Ricoh Pro C9500. We are now empowered to boost productivity with this digital workhorse." He added, "Prior to the Ricoh, we used to manage everything of digital printing with a line of multifunction printers. It however hampered our productivity and eventually couldn't generate appropriate volume and quality of prints which we required to meet the increasing demands from our quality-conscious clients who are dwelled in both the domestic and international markets." Over the years, the company kept expanding its client base as a result of its team's commitment and constant upgrades of its machine portfolio and many new developments on various fronts. "We have been working for some offshore clients who are from the cities like New Jersey and Dubai. Our investment in the new Ricoh Pro C9500 has garnered us the advantages of producing higher print volume and textured graphics. Media flexibility of this Ricoh workhorse is magnificent," Devda said. Printing in the resolution of 2,400x4,800-dpi on lightweight as well as heavyweight media to produce dazzling textured graphics, Ricoh Pro C9500 takes in stocks right from 40- up to 470-gsm. "The press' media handling capability and speed are some of its attributes that actually impressed us," said Devda, adding, "Its upgradable speed of 135-ppm meets everything we require on time. Currently, we are producing around 30,000 sheets in eight hours with this digital workhorse."
