iPrint - Delivering Innovative and Technologically Forward Printing Solutions
Printing is one of the human race’s most far-reaching cultural achievements and a medium that has been necessary for businesses throughout history. The printing industry has been an intrinsic part of our life since its invention. In India, the printing industry has undergone revolutionary changes in two decades. 3D Printing industry is expected to be the next billion dollar Industry in India. Factors such as 3D printing evolving from developing prototypes to end-user products, mass customization, production of complex parts, government investments in 3D printing projects, and improvements in manufacturing efficiency are driving the growth of this market. In the modern day, most Indian buyers are young and open to experimenting with new products and printing methods. This has led Indian industry to become one of the major print producers and manufacturers of printed paper on a global scale. India is on the cusp of a great evolution leap and the coming decade will see a lot of innovation in applications and technology products for local and as well as the export market.
However, the print industry is highly fragmented and is not without its own share of challenges like the need to continuously innovate and adapt to new trends, the shift in consumer behavior and technological advancements. Mumbai-headquartered iPrint has been successful in tackling these challenges. Along with being technologically updated, the company is also at the forefront in experimenting with and communicating new concepts, and application to customers. This has been one of the key ingredients for it to remain high in growth trajectory for almost a decade.
Adding Value to Printing Projects
iPrint has been in the industry for over 30 years, offering offset printing services. In 2007-2008, it completely altered itself in order to cater to the technologically advanced age and started offering digital printing services. It was one of the initial firms to expand the concept of UV Wide Format Printing and Direct printing applications and also entered Environmental Space Branding and Banking Segment in no time. Jigar Shah, Founder, iPrint proudly delineates that his team is committed to bringing in new and innovative applications and mediums, giving its clientele something new every time. iPrint thrives to constantly innovate and add value to all the projects regardless of the size.
iPrint offers two kinds of printing services namely Offset Printing and Digital Printing services like Short-run and Wide Format Digital Printing services. Jigar, positive about the future of Offset printing states, “Offset printing will continue to flourish in the coming decade but after a while, downward trend would start just like hand press, screen printing, Tradel machinery, Zerox offset printing platforms.” The world is going digital which makes it obligatory for businesses to transform the way they function, focus on innovative applications and adapt the latest technology. For example, a decade back printed wallpaper/ wall-covering would have been a myth but now they are steadily replacing self-adhesive vinyls. Within digital printing as well, old technology is getting replaced with something faster, precise and cost effective.

The company believes in two points while delivering offset printing services namely application based offset printing and comprehensive offset printing process. iPrint has an innovative approach in handling printing assignments and is a one stop solution, which means it takes complete care of the product if it needs unique fabrication then the company would look for all the possible avenues to achieve the required finish and look.
