Get a million brilliant colors ...in green. Ozone Eco-friendly Technologies
From Hardesh Dhingra
From the pioneer in digital printing… Hardesh Dhingra is a name that conjures up immediate trust for anyone in India’s advertising fraternity. Trust. Innovation. Busting clichés. Exploring newer technologies. Stepping into areas that bordered the impossible. Advertising photography has never been quite the same ever since. In his 21 years of photography, Hardesh Dhingra has worked with every top advertising agency, and with huge brands and clients like GM, Maruti, Pepsi, Coke, Hero Honda, Honda Cars and scooters, Ranbaxy, Yamaha and Kingfisher. All along, what drove him, and his clients, was the need to produce work in India which stood tall among the world’s best. This spouted a series of firsts. In 1994, Hardesh Dhingra introduced digital inkjet printing, right at the start of digital printing revolution. This business, known as Big Prints, is still recognized as a pioneer in the industry. In 1997, he started digital imaging – light years, literally, before anyone else did. The recognized digital imaging pioneer worked in this nascent area, with its leaders - like Kodak, Canon, Adobe and all the better photography magazines - in a series of seminars and exhibitions – aimed at popularizing this exciting medium.
… to the future of digital printing. And the latest in this ongoing digital revolution is OZONE. Ozone is a step towards a completely eco-friendly green set-up. The latest initiative of Hardesh Dhingra and Big Prints looks forwards to creating a whole network of green-aware clients, and working partners, offering them the best quality and support in the industry. And building a whole team of like-minded people who will work in tandem towards a safer, greener world.
Because we have only one planet.
image Using the best of the Earth’s resources and hospitality, does not mean abusing it. Ozone’s intention is to reduce the total impact of printing on the environment, without compromising on print color, consistency and quality. To this end, we have invested in the new HP Designjet L65500 Printer, a new category of large format signage printers with HP Latex Inks–water-based, lowsolvent and non-hazardous. We request our clients, most of whom are exemplary corporate citizens, to move over to this new-generation technology. To save our grand old planet. An example we’re fond of quoting: The Special Olympics World Winter Games, 2009, held in Boise, McCall and Sun Valley, Idaho. Corporate sponsor HP was approached to handle the event with sensitivity towards the environment. Thanks to the new HP Designjet L65500 Printer, and its eco-friendly inks, HP could responsibly produce the huge print order of 50,000 square feet of signage. And live up to its promise of ‘greening the games’.
To Mother Nature. With love from HP.
The HP Latex L65500 printer. Designed with the environment in mind, this is a pioneer wide-format signage printer that offers durable, odorless prints, sharp, vivid image quality, application versatility, and high productivity without negatively affecting the environment health or safety. It uses innovative new water-based HP Latex Inks, which combine long-term durability with excellent color and consistency – all without putting a strain on the environment. The Designjet L65500 is a six-ink, high-resolution printer (up to 1200 dpi) which delivers rich saturated color quickly and precisely, and produces exceptional image quality at a high resolution—up to 1,200 dpi – all in large format prints which can withstand Nature’s harshest attacks, without hurting Nature itself. Its credentials have already made the Designjet L65500 the leading choice of printer for a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications, from point-of-purchase displays, transit signage, wall murals and exhibition graphics to billboards, vehicle wraps and exterior event signage. What really clinched the decision for us was that it is a winner of 3 European Digital Press awards, including Best Environmental Digital Printer. It was, to use a cliché, a natural choice.
The latest inks. Latex Inks.
New HP Latex Printing Technologies bring you water-based inks, with benefits never seen before: -They are odorless, non-flammable and non-combustible. -They offer both durability and vivid image quality with a new HP media surface treatment. -They print color consistently across a range of temperature and humidity conditions over the life of the printer, with HP DreamColor Technologies. -Fully automated color calibration is possible because of an embedded spectrophotometer, which automatically scans a printer-generated color target, measures its properties, then makes and records any corrections. -Most importantly, these inks do not produce ozone emissions during printing and contain no hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) or sensitizers. -They emit no hazardous waste. -No special ventilation is required, and there are no requirements for air discharge. -They reduce the use of material, with a new ink cartridge design that includes a recyclable cardboard container. -HP Latex Inks are completely cured inside the printer to form a durable film on the print medium. Prints come out of the printer ready to use, finish, and prepare for shipment.

The HP Latex L65500 printer. In addition to being an eco-warrior, the printer has a myriad other advantages : -Permanence: A perfect 10 – for both outdoor and indoor applications. Outdoor prints achieve display permanence of up to 3 years unlaminated, and up to 5 years laminated. Indoor prints achieve in-window display permanence of up to 5 years unlaminated, and up to 10 years laminated. -Quality: Prints are scratch, smudge, and water-resistant on a range of media. -Text as small as 4 point is sharp and readable – with high-resolution, indoor prints up to 1200 dpi.
In action. -Speed and Precision : HP Wide Scan Printing Technology uses three 108 mm printheads with a total of 31,680 nozzles, combined with precise media advancement using HP’s proprietary Optical Media Advance Sensor, to offer high-speed, quality, precision printing. -Less maintenance and reduction of down time :These HP Wide Scan Printheads do not require daily, manual printhead maintenance either. Individual printheads are user replaceable. Other supplies include 3-liter ink cartridges and 110 kg media roll support. For long-term usage. Versatility across substrates: New HP media surface treatment technology produces a wide color gamut and makes it possible to achieve both durability and sharp, vivid image quality on materials that don’t typically print well with traditional inks.
The way we wrok.
And don’t. The Digital Experience starts way before the actual result. Our studios have offered superior seamless digital printing experiences – ever since the inception of digital printing in 1994. We already have many unparalleled studios - a 5000-sq-ft single studio, a daylight studio with an open terrace, a design studio. All the facilities, equipment and ambience are structured around providing an international offering to those who demand it. We have always worked with the most demanding clients. We have now become equally discerning ourselves. Ozone now brings in to our world-class studios a focus on environment-friendliness. We will offer a completely green set-up with sustainability and quality of product, selectively to a few but like-minded environment-conscious clients. We have invested a lot in our facilities. It is an investment in the future of our planet. And we want to work with those who feel the same.
16,000 sq feet. Of freedom.
Our studio is a drive away from the chaos of the city to open space. A reflection of our philosophy. Built around 16,000 sq ft of space, most of it open, and most of it available to our clients, the studio accommodates even the largest and most technical jobs like vehicle wraps. There is also an excellent in-house cafeteria and a lounge, which offer those here on long jobs a home away from work. All our working facilities, in keeping with the principles of Ozone, are in alliance with Nature itself. Our environment is designed with green in mind, and invites in natural light and breeze through large open windows. We aim to build a facility, which will comply with the conditions needed for green certification ourselves, in order to best offer our green-friendly services to our clients. At Ozone, we practice what we preach.
