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.

Gadoya added, “With the shift towards UV printers, we are launching a whole range in partnership with Pixeljet. As per our research team, we have a gap in the market, which is what we aim to fill.”
