As the company extends its reach into upgrades on third-party presses, manroland India has reported a year of successes with several installation 'firsts' of its automated colour density and register systems.

The year started at Lokmat in Navi Mumbai, where 16 Grapho Metronic cameras - ten for register, four for cut-off and two dual-purpose - were installed on a six-tower TPH Orient press.

An order from Amar Ujala in Varanasi saw 14 cameras installed for registration and cut-off on a seven-tower Manugraph M360 press.

At Kala Jyothi Printers, the first Indian installation of manroland's IDSm inline density control system has taken place in Hyderabad, this time on a Komori System 38.

manroland India has also been busy overhauling two towers of their Manugraph HiLine press in Hokandra.
