Mumbai’s Nine Blinq scales up with a bigger HandTop from Silicon Infotech

Exquisitely crafting out-of-the-box signage & promotional display solutions, Mumbai-based Nine Blinq runs a fleet of highly advanced and modern machines. Added new to the fleet as a latest marvel is a HandTop HT5000, a 5m UV roll-to-roll machine from Silicon Infotech—an authorised all India distributor of HandTop and MIMAKI in western region. Nine Blinq has chosen the new ultra wide-format HandTop machine judiciously to scale up print size, quality and productivity.

All new HandTop HT5000 UV roll-to-roll system installed recently around two months back in the production setup of Nine Blinq is second HandTop they bought from Silicon Infotech. The first one, installed in 2023, is a 3.2m HandTop HTL 3200 roll-to-roll. Haresh Rawat, Director of Nine Blinq, says, “These two HandTop roll-toroll printers from Silicon Infotech have built up our confidence to meet every need of larger and sharper print applications which our clients of diverse profiles and business backgrounds increasingly demanding.”

Established in the year 2015, Nine Blinq is backed by a team of 70 plus skilled and experienced sign-making professionals. “Under a committed team approach, we have been working for a mixed bag of clients that consists of advertising agencies, jobbers, and brands with national and international reputations from different sectors like retail, luxury, beverage, cosmetics and others at pan-India level,” tells Haresh, adding that they provide their customers the complete signage and promotional display solutions applicable in both indoor and outdoor environments.

According to Haresh, their recent installation of the 5m HandTop HT5000 roll-to-roll UV printer is a significant technological leap for them to produce larger graphic prints in bigger volume. “With this new bigger HandTop machine from Silicon Infotech in our setup, we are ideally scaling up ourselves with a new print capability,” he adds. HandTop HT5000 at Nine Blinq marks the second installation of this advanced UV roll-to-roll model in Mumbai city.

Impeccably engineered with ultra wide-format printing capability to produce large billboards, banners, and any big size graphic prints, HandTop HT5000 is capable to print media of maximum width up to 5m. This flagship UV roll-to-roll printer from Silicon Infotech is equipped with up to 10 Kyocera grey-scale piezoelectric printheads which subsequently trigger high-speed and high-definition printing. Nine Blinq is now vigorously running HandTop HT5000 to print vibrant graphics in exceptional clarity in resolution of 726x24dpi.

Precision engineering of HandTop HT5000 is commendable as this ultra wide-format UV roll-to-roll system is fully packed with advanced features like full-loop automatic media thickness detector, auto-height control system, and anti-collision carriage design which in turn provide overall enhanced safety and operational efficiency. UV LED curing in HandTop HT5000 ensures instant drying, which eventually reduces energy consumption and accelerates production times at Nine Blinq.

After all, Nine Blinq’s adoption of HandTop HT5000 has marked yet another transformative moment for the company in adopting cutting-edge printing technologies, setting a new benchmark for quality, ultra wide-format graphic and innovative printing in the region. “Running HandTop HT5000 is our pride. It unfolds a big new chapter for us. It’s a transformative moment. It brings bigger graphics, greater capability, faster turnaround, and new satisfaction to our clients,” concludes Haresh.
