Oosterhout, November 2019
- The collaboration between the printing
company of the daily paper Uttar Banga Sambad and Q.I. Press Controls (QIPC),
the Dutch specialist in measuring and control equipment for the printing
industry, will be further intensified. Uttar Banga Sambad, the largest
newspaper in the northern region of West Bengal in India, is investing in
automatic colour register control.
Satisfied
with current installation
The
collaboration between Uttar Banga Sambad and QIPC started four years ago. Since
then, the Indian printing company, based in Siliguri, has been using QIPC's
measurement and control equipment. To great mutual satisfaction. "Uttar
Banga Sambad is market leader in northern Bengal", says Rakesh Dave,
Managing Director of QIPC-EAE India. "They have the largest circulation in
the Siliguri region. The fact that they have approached us to extend the
cooperation shows how satisfied they are with the current installation.”
Update
and expansion
The new
installation consists of two different parts. Uttar Banga Sambad invests in 10 mRC-3D
cameras for automatic colour register control and 2 more mRC-3D cameras
serve as an extension of the existing automation system. "The current
systems really needed an update", Rakesh Dave knows. "Their main
motivation for this new investment is to save on waste. In addition, thanks to
our systems, they will also be able to deliver better and more consistent print
quality."
Historical
player
Uttar
Banga Sambad is an important newspaper in the northern Bengal region. A
newspaper with history, because it was the first newspaper printed in West
Bengal that did not come from Calcutta. Rakesh Dave calls it the 'mouth of
northern Bengal'. With a 63 percent market share in the region, it
is by far the most important newspaper. Five regional
editions are currently being published: Siliguri, Jalpaiguri, Coochbehar,
Alipurduar and Malda. "You understand that the satisfaction of such a large
customer is important to us and we assure them that we will maintain our high
service and performance standards all through," concludes Rakesh
Dave.
