RDX Digital Technologies, a trailblazer in the digital printing industry, has rapidly established itself as a leader in innovation, quality, and sustainability. Founded by Deepak Siddharth, a seasoned expert with over 12 years of experience in Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing, RDX was born out of a desire to enhance the efficiency and quality of digital printing machines. With its roots in Coimbatore, RDX is on a mission to transform the global printing industry through its cutting-edge hybrid digital printing technology.
At the heart of RDX’s success is its groundbreaking hybrid digital printing machine, which seamlessly integrates traditional screen printing with modern digital techniques. This innovative machine allows users to create an underbase white layer using screen printing and then apply vibrant colors digitally. Additionally, the machine can incorporate value-added features such as glitter, foil, puff, or fluorescent colors in a single process. This revolutionary approach streamlines the printing procedure, eliminating the need for separate setups and significantly enhancing efficiency.
Local Manufacturing with Global Standards
RDX Digital Technologies stands apart by manufacturing its machines in India, leveraging the expertise of local engineers who bring deep knowledge and skill to the table. The company’s state-of-the-art facility in Coimbatore is equipped with advanced machinery and staffed by a team of specialized engineers. From mechanical design to software enhancement, each aspect of RDX’s machines is meticulously crafted to ensure top-tier performance. Notably, the implementation of collision detection using camera vision technology has drastically reduced downtime, making RDX’s machines more reliable and user-friendly.
“By the Printer, For the Printer”
The ethos of RDX Digital Technologies is rooted in a deep understanding of the practical challenges faced by printers. As Mr. Deepak Siddharth aptly puts it, “This mission is not by the printing machine manufacturer; this mission is by the printer for the printer.” This philosophy drives RDX to design machines that address real-world needs, resulting in what Mr. Deepak calls a “no headache” machine—one that minimizes the common issues encountered in the industry.
From India to Global Markets
RDX’s journey began with rigorous testing and trials in the founder’s own factory, ensuring the stability and performance of its machines. With a strong foundation in Coimbatore, the company quickly expanded its market reach across India. The positive response at the GTIC show marked RDX’s entry into the broader Indian market, and the company is now poised to make its mark on the international stage. Targeting regions with significant t-shirt printing industries, such as Bangladesh, RDX is set to become a global player in the digital printing industry.
One of the primary motivations behind the establishment of RDX was to reduce dependency on foreign spare parts, a common issue that causes significant downtime and financial loss for customers. By manufacturing machines locally and using high-quality components from reputable brands like Siemens, Panasonic, and Ricoh, RDX ensures reliability and efficiency. As Mr. Deepak explains, “We wanted to minimize the dependency on other countries because downtime is a huge loss for the customer.”
Commitment to Sustainability: Pioneering Eco-Friendly Printing
Sustainability is a core focus for RDX Digital Technologies. Traditional printing methods are notorious for their environmental impact, particularly in terms of water usage and effluent creation. RDX’s digital printing machines are designed to be more sustainable by using only the exact amount of ink needed for each print, significantly reducing water waste. Looking ahead, the company envisions a future where RDX machines have zero environmental impact. “We will definitely be coming up with an AO plant where even the minimal residual will be filtered within the machine itself,” Mr. Deepak shares.
RDX Digital Technologies is not just a company; it is a movement towards innovation, sustainability, and excellence in the digital printing industry. With its roots in Coimbatore, RDX is now ready to take on the world, offering cutting-edge technology that meets the highest standards of quality and efficiency. As RDX continues to grow and expand its market reach, it is set to revolutionize the digital printing landscape, both in India and globally, proving that the future of printing lies in the hands of innovative Indian engineering.
