Heroes of the week: Tushar, Sandeep, Animesh and Steve
Steve Smiley arrived early on the morning of 5 Dec and was deposited at the Hyatt Regency in Manesar and so after visiting home I went to work in Noida. Then I drove back to Manesar and picked up Steve for a quick walk through at Kumar Printers.
On Lord's day morning the 6th of Dec the total force of the IppStar and Idealliance India teams arrived at Kumar Printers. We had a adept showing of printers and a few brand owners and ran a very vivid white somewhat blue coated stock along with ITC's Cyberexcel board on the Heidelberg 6-color plus coater. Of form we only ran CMYK on the first set up of uncalibrated or linear runs and then Smiley used the Curve three software substantially to balance the CMY ramp (strip). The results while non exactly matching each other with newspaper colors existence then far apart did come much closer and did demonstrate that the G7 method can quickly bring a pleasing outcome with a similar dynamic range on unlike stock quickly and tin be fine tuned to come up within the new ISO 15339 standard. Not bad, since it was the get-go time Kumar was using this prepare of Sakata inks!
On 7 Dec, the G7 Main Basic Grooming at Habitat by Smiley. Good turnout but not every bit adept as the demo considering it was in the middle of Delhi. The course went well although at that place was a wide gap in the experience of the participants. But overall quite good and the participants did fairly well on the test.
On 8 Dec we visit a couple of large companies that are interested in Idealliance India and G7 and in the evening Steve Smiley and print engineer Aniket Rane fly off to Mumbai for the Pamex Face up to Confront, the Pamex Conference pismire the G7 Live! Master Basic Training and the demo runs at Parksons Graphics. Smiley holds a G7 F2F dispensary at Pamex on the afternoon of ix Dec.
On ten December, the Pamex briefing. Welcome past Tushar Dhote, i of the heroes of the past extended week. (His past week was about a month long and took him to several cities across the country. He was in Kolkata a couple of nights before the prove opened.) Keynote speech by Manoj Mehta of Utility Packaging – Manipal, and then a presentation by Appadurai of HP. Appadurai with the help of a couple of slick videos answered five questions that sceptics or critics of digital print generally enquire. He was disarming as he promised you a free multicolor press if yous buy an Indigo. (His argument said approximately, that if yous are currently running multiple multicolor presses and you purchase an Indigo digital press, you lot will shortly relieve enough to buy some other press – leaving it up to you whether information technology would exist a digital or an offset press!) So we visited the Pamex exhibition and it was buzzing – a attestation to Tushar Dhote's hard work over the past few months. This is the guy who made it happen.

Then, at the Pamex Conference came Smiley'southward presentation on G7 and the ISO 15339 standard. Disarming enough and then that the industry veteran and leader sitting next to me said he volition send in his membership form and check to Idealliance India the adjacent twenty-four hour period (nosotros are still waiting for this cheque).
On 11 December the G7 Alive! Main Bones Training at the small briefing room on the footing floor of the Pamex exhibition. Ultimately 49 participants including several from leading global brand owners, premedia companies and commercial print and packaging companies. Good turnout non only from Bombay but also from Pune, Bangalore and Hyderabad. Smiley good again. Good results on the quiz and honest feedback. Animesh Kejriwal takes u.s.a. to Parksons for a quick walk through at Parksons Graphics – the Andheri plant I visited many times in the early on 1990s every bit a consultant to a large international organisation.
The tide is going out in the early morning time of 12 December at Juhu Beach and Smiley and I rejoice at the clear day (after the smog of Delhi). We go to Parksons Graphic for The G7 Live! Demo where there is again a slap-up turnout and again a fantastic amount of arrangement and hospitality by our hosts. Smiley says, "Thanks for letting us within your printing business firm," as he begins his spiel on what we are going to exercise. Linear uncalibrated outputs of our exam form (this time it has Indian flesh tones) on the Epson proofer; the Heidelberg five-color plus coater and the Indigo 5600 digital press adjacent to the space that has been cleared up to brand a mini auditorium. And so Smiley and Aniket mensurate the CMY strips and ready the curves for the second press runs all the while explaining or trying to explicate some of the anomalies – non all curves fit hands in our crash course and demo – non all dot gains carry – and not everyone is convinced when Smiley says that dot gains are non the only criteria, "We are hither to make the best visual and most repeatable and most practical print for our customers."
The second exam runs are done and results are pretty good considering we have run a new inkset on both Bilt Sunshine offset paper and coated stock on the Heidelberg 74 and on the Indigo 5600. Adept questions and discussion on the final evaluation and wrap-up. Good match betwixt the paper stocks and between the offset and the Indigo. Many of the participants are impressed by the quick lucifer and quality of the results. A group photo is printed on the Indigo for distribution to all. Good grades on the feedback forms. Smiley takes the flight to Delhi for his onward journey to Dubai and Houston. A tremendous performance for 8 straight days in India and about 11 directly days counting travel. He is probably just waking upwardly on Mon morning as I write this and there'south a new grandchild in the Smiley family, also! Cheers Steve.
