Offset Printing--Pressing Ahead

Komori exhibited its new five-over-five, 283⁄8x409⁄16˝ Lithrone 40SP Model L-540SP perfecting press, which is equipped with the Komori Hi-Performance Inking System and automatic plate changers. Newly developed register adjustment mechanisms and a new swing mechanism for registration were featured, as well as remote-controlled infeed cylinder cocking capability and ultrasonic double-sheet detection/prevention and anti-sheet deviation devices. A special, ceramic jacket is employed for the surface of the impression cylinder and the cylinder arrangement is designed to reduce gripper changes.
