UV Printing
While conventional offset inks dry or cure through their binding
agents oxidizing and being absorbed into the printing stock, in UV
printing, specially formulated inks are exposed to ultra-violet
(UV) lights, which causes them to harden instantly on top of the
substrate.
UV coating produces high levels of gloss or dull coating, vivid
color and vibrant detail with superior rub resistance and no
post-cure dryback even on soft, uncoated sheets making UV the
technique of choice for applications like luxury cosmetics and
chic wine labels. In-line UV Printing is notable for the superior
results it can achieve on difficult substrates, from uncoated
paper and board to foil and especially plastic, including
synthetic papers, static cling vinyl and lenticular. The ability
to "lay down" layers of opaque white or metallic, and then print
over it in a single pass, merely hints at the versatility of the
UV process.
FOIL PRINTING & EMBOSSING
We can produce complex fine hot foil stamping on any substrate in Gold, Silver and other metallic colours mainly used in Corporate Folders, Carton boxes, Wedding Invitations and Book covers. We can also do Embossing and De-bossing to add an attractive third dimension to your design.
DIGITAL PRINTING
Konica Minolta AccurioPrint C4065 Digital Press
In recent times most of our customers have been asking for short-run jobs with high quality post-press solutions and some of the stumbling blocks were replicating ‘Offset Quality’ and ‘Back-to-Back’ registration. Both these problems have been overcome by this new generation Konica Minolta Digital Press that has the capability to deliver accurate CMYK results and also Pantone shades.
To achieve this we have set up a calibration system using
X-rite i1Pro 2 + i1 Publish Spectrophotometer which is the key to maintaining the
required
colour
calibration.
This is the most accurate and forward thinking profiling device
available today – bringing a new level of accuracy, reliability,
versatility and ease of use, it delivers an expanded
professional-level feature set including the latest developments
in ISO standardization.

TECHNOLOGY
At Pio, we believe in using the latest technology to maintain high quality and standards as per International norms. Using Photo spectrometers & Reflective Densitometers we standardize colour, density difference, dot area, dot gain, trap, print contrast, hue error, greyness, saturation, cast, brightness and dot analysis. Using i1Pro-2 Photo spectrophotometer we are able to read accurate Pantone colour references so as to simplify spot colour standardization as per client's requirements, no matter what stock we print on.
Our print production follows the work flow through CIP3 which produces a format called Print Production Format (PPF) which can carry all the information and specification about the job which is generated at the prepress stage. All information related to the job such as ink settings, fold marks, cut marks, binding specifications etc. , can be entered and retrieved at the click of the button.
Besides technology we also rely on skilled technically qualified staff who are highly motivated to be quality conscious and are also updated on latest trends and technologies by way of conducting seminars and in-house training programs.
