Komori’s Five Solutions to be Revealed at Drupa

Solution 4 – Flexible Multi Print On The New Five Color Spica 29P Perfector

Komori is showing the five color version of the Spica 29P Perfector for the first time at a world show. Following the phenomenal success the four color Komori Spica has enjoyed since its launch in 2002, the press has earned a reputation as the most adaptable and capable perfecting press in its class and has now evolved to enable printers of all sizes to offer added value by varnishing or printing special colors on the fifth unit. The entry level press still benefits from the same small footprint and high levels of automation but will allow printers to step up a gear and enter new markets with a decisive competitive edge. The Spica is perfectly suited to an on-demand environment and is completely compatible with digital workflows. For smaller print shops that have been handling mostly one and two-color work, the Spica is the ideal press for transitioning to four or five-color printing. Its compact dimensions and small footprint make the Spica the most efficient use of shop floor space. For medium-size printers, the Spica is a highly nimble and adaptable machine that is very adept at meeting tight turnaround times when the work consists of many short to medium runs of a wide variety of jobs. Automation as standard includes tool free plate clamping, automated plate changing, automatic ink roller and blanket wash as well as a fully automatic 60-second changeover between straight printing and perfecting.
