Kothari Info-tech limited or KITL was incorporated as a limited liability company in March 2001 at Surat, India. KITL is a Board managed organization. The company board comprises of capable people with background in technology, business, finance and academia.

On day to day basis, company is led and managed by a group of professionals having expertise in Computer Graphics, Digital Imaging, Color science and ink chemistry relevant to printing.

Since the Inception, We have been committed to develop world-class software tools for printing and color control. At our R&D center in Surat, a team of engineers drawn from premier institutions in India is working hard to bring this commitment to reality. We are doing extensive research in the field of color reproduction from the perspective of fulfilling our vision.

Towards the above goals, KITL has executed large R&D efforts and has started amassing intellectual property during the process. We have filed few world-wide patents based on our work. One interesting patent application relates to the technology created by KITL that automates the process of producing white ink layer when printing on the colored backgrounds using the white ink. Further more with the help of this invention it is possible to convert the colored background into a printing ink!

We have developed innovative methods for color separation, color correction, device calibration, digitally printed textiles, textile coloration and highly robust system level resource handling libraries. All these tools and technologies are integrated in the form of well engineered user-friendly software applications ready for industrial use. These applications are targeted towards Wide/Large format digital printing for Graphic-Arts, photography, textiles and textile dyeing/printing segment.

Currently we have two major lines of products targeted for graphic arts and textiles.

• RIPS. We have two versions of RIP available. One targeted towards screen making process and other version is targeted towards large/grand format digital color printing over a range of popular large/grand format devices using custom developed printer drivers for various different end applications like digital textile printing, Outdoor printing etc.

• Color formulation software. This software is targeted for the process of coloration of textiles. Shortly its applications will be extended to other segments of industries that are engaged in color and its reproduction.

• Print Management software. This is a windows based software targeted towards environments involving printing of a lot of large CAD drawings. The software acts as a nesting and queuing server and interfaces with any plotter of any make, past or present using its windows driver. The software also keeps track of jobs printed for billing purposes. 

Although KITL began its journey primarily as a software company, but in pursuit of finding right and cost effective solutions for the customers, KITL started investing into research related to ink chemistry. KITL has developed water based reactive inks and pre-treatment solutions that will work on variety of textile substrates targeted towards roll-to-roll digital textile printing.

We are proud to be associated with few of the world leading companies that have brought disruptive technologies to the world market and our software solutions are part of such efforts.
