Mumbai-based Unique Photo Offset Services, which is led by Gautam Nerker, has installed its third Omet X4 label press. Unique was founded by R V Nerker in 1960 as a prepress house with a tradition for high-quality digital imaging.

The reigns of the company were handed over to the founder's son, Ashok Nerker, who ventured into digital flexo prepress, and later moved forward into flexo printing and offset printing.The third generation is now running Unique. Ashok mentored his son, Gautam, to take charge, and he now heads the company. The company decided to reaffirm its faith in the Omet brand by investing in yet another label press.

Unique has been producing shrink sleeves on narrow web presses for many years on its Omet presses.

The Omet X4 installed at Unique is a 370mm press with eight colors, all UV, chill drums, two corona treaters–one before and one after printing before rewinding so that any variable data that needs to be overprinted can be done off-line. The X4 also comes equipped with an electrostatic web cleaner (both sides), web turnbar, delam-relam, one diecutting station, two rewinders, cold foiling option and a fully automatic registration control.

Gautam Nerker says, “Our experience with Omet has been very good. It has helped us service the labels and shrink sleeves market with ease and efficiency. It is a very reliable equipment that has helped us grow. We are happy with the performance of the machines, after sales support and the high-quality team present in India."

The sale of this Omet X4 has been handled by the company's agent in India, Weldon Celloplast Limited New Delhi. 

Harveer Sahni, chairman, Weldon Celloplast, says, “Unique is a very consistent quality printer with inherent strength in high quality prepress. Weldon is proud to have them as a very stable, consistent and committed customer who delivers quality products converted on Omet presses."
