Success Story

Ankita Communications Elevates Prepress with Kodak Trendsetter Q800 W Speed

Established in 1987 by Lalit Gupta, Ankita Communications began as a prepress service bureau in Delhi. Over the years, it has evolved into a full‑service print enhancement company, offering offset, digital, and specialty printing. Today, Ankita serves diverse sectors — from wedding stationery and diaries to corporate brochures, calendars, and promotional materials — with a reputation for quality craftsmanship and innovation.

The Challenge

Growing Demand Pressures

With growing demand for shorter turnaround times and higher plate volumes, Ankita Communications faced several hurdles:

  • Quality Consistency: Maintaining sharp dot reproduction across offset and digital jobs is critical.
  • Sustainability Pressure: Clients increasingly demand eco‑friendly solutions.
  • Workflow Integration: Need for seamless connectivity between prepress and pressroom.
