Day 3 of Even Semester examination at RIPT on 01.06.2026.

First Day of Theoretical Examination of Even Semester students at RIPT on 29.05.2026.

Today marked the successful completion of the 4-day online workshop on Applications of Artificial Intelligence in the Printing Industry, organized by the Department of Printing Technology, REGIONAL INSTITUTE OF PRINTING TECHNOLOGY. The final sessions of the workshop were enriched by the valuable contributions of our distinguished speakers. On Day 3, AVIJIT KAR, Senior Research Fellow, Department of Printing Engineering, Jadavpur University spoke on his research in predictive maintenance in print production facilities. Parmeshwar Patidar of Indas Analytics demonstrated the application of intelligent MIS for print facilities. The final day included discussions and demonstration by experts comprising Indukalpa Saikia and Mohamed Ameenurrahaman from Heidelberg India, on their Prinect workflow automation system and Das Damodaran of Farb Technologies on the scope of application of intelligent systems in various areas of print workflow. Their insightful deliberations brought together academic perspective, industrial experience, and emerging technological applications, offering participants a deeper understanding of how artificial intelligence is reshaping contemporary printing workflows and practices.

Over these two weekends, participants were exposed to important discussions on innovation, automation, analytics, and industry-oriented implementation of AI in printing. The sessions not only broadened technical understanding but also encouraged critical thinking about the future of print technology in an increasingly data-driven and intelligent production environment.

We sincerely thank all our speakers for their time, expertise, and generous support in making the concluding sessions of the workshop highly engaging and academically enriching. We also extend our appreciation to all participants for their enthusiastic involvement throughout the programme.

The first two days of the "Applications of AI in the Printing Industry" workshop have been highly enriching and intellectually engaging. The workshop was inaugurated by Shri Jayanta Banerjee, Director of Technical Education and Training, Government of West Bengal, under the patronage of Shri Haroprosad Mondal, Principal in Charge, Regional Institute of Printing Technology.
The sessions offered valuable insights into the growing role of artificial intelligence in print and production contexts. Mr Pritam Ghosh of Regional Institute of Printing Technology delivered an excellent introduction to the fundamentals of machine learning, supported by hands on practice that helped participants connect theory with application. Mr Manu Choudhury of CDC Printers demonstrated the capabilities of modern AI tools in process automation within print production facilities, highlighting their practical relevance for industry. Prof Arpitam Chatterjee of Jadavpur University presented an insightful discussion on the impact of computational intelligence in modern digital halftoning and its future possibilities.

A Financial Literacy Awareness Programme for the students of RIPT was organized on 11th March, 2026 at the institute campus.

The new classrooms at RIPT are almost ready for regular classes.

Registrations for the 4-DayOnline Workshop on “Applications of AI in the Printing Industry (AAIPI)”, conducted by the Department of Printing Technology, Regional Institute of Printing Technology, are now open.

Our industry stands at a very interesting intersection, where data, color, process control, and machine intelligence can come together to redefine print workflows.

This workshop is our effort to make that transition practical, accessible, and hands-on. To make it easier for professionals in the print fraternity to attend we have organized this workshop on two weekends (11th, 12th, 18th & 19th April 2026). During this journey, we’ll be working through:
1) How AI can be applied in real print production scenarios
2) Defect detection, quality control, and color management using AI
3) Predictive maintenance and workflow automation
4) Building simple, usable AI-driven solutions for print

What makes this special is the strong lineup of speakers from both academia and industry like Arpitam Chatterjee, Manu Choudhury, Parmeshwar Patidar, Das Damodaran, Indukalpa Saikia, AVIJIT KAR, and the focus on implementation, not just theory.

Whether you are, a print professional, a quality or production manager, a student or researcher, or simply curious about AI in printing, this workshop is designed to give you something you can actually use.

Early bird registration is ₹1500 (till 20th March)
Late registration is ₹2000
