drupa 2012 : Inkjet and B2 Digital Trend

Komori Corp. showcased two four-color inkjet presses, one sheetfed and one web, based on different technologies. The 29˝ Impremia IS29 sheetfed model—being developed jointly with Konica Minolta (the KM-1 press, in its case)—uses UV ink and a large central drum to print 3,300 single-sided sph at 1,200 dpi. It is expected to be available in about a year. Within the 18-month timeframe, Komori plans to bring to market the 20˝-wide Impremia IW20 webfed system that prints aqueous pigment inks at 75 meters/min. and a maximum 1,200 dpi resolution.
