A textbook press and a newspaper press do fundamentally different jobs. Prakash builds two of each — every one tuned to its application.
Superb runs at 30,000 copies per hour — the workhorse for school textbook houses with seasonal volume. Sonic steps up to 36,000 cph for high-volume printers who need throughput without compromising print quality. Both are tuned for the heavier stocks and signature folding textbook work demands.
Speedster handles up to 6 webs at 36,000 cph — built for multi-page dailies. Newslight is the flagship: up to 8 webs at 40,000 cph in a remarkably compact 700 mm footprint, with its own purpose-built folder and tower engineered for the newspaper duty cycle.
Paper threads vertically through four blanket-to-blanket couples — each printing one colour on the front and back of the web at the same instant. No perfecting unit, no second pass: the web enters as blank newsprint and leaves fully printed, on its way to the folder.
Every cylinder is machined and balanced in-house at Faridabad — because at 40,000 copies an hour, registration is a property of the machine, not the operator.
Two textbook presses, two newspaper presses. Tap to compare.
The textbook press for school textbook houses and educational publishers. Built around heavier paper stocks and signature folding — with the print quality publishers expect, at dependable seasonal volume.
Twenty percent more throughput than Superb at the same print-quality standard — for high-volume houses clearing seasonal demand fast. A high-speed quarter-fold attachment lets Sonic run up to 4 webs when the season is short and the run is long.
Built for newspaper houses running multi-page dailies. Handles up to 6 webs at 36,000 copies per hour — the scale and speed serious newspaper operations need to hit the nightly print window.
Up to 8 webs at 40,000 cph in a compact 700 mm footprint, with its own purpose-built folder and printing tower — engineered specifically for high-page-count dailies in tight floor space. More pages, more speed, less floor.
