GE07: Sheetfed/Web Offset Presses — Windy City Wonders

Waste reduction was also a selling point for Komori’s demonstrations of its new LSX29 half-size press, which can handle up to a 24x291⁄2˝ sheet. Features such as its hi-speed start function at 12,000 sph to reduce waste; console-driven makeready functions, including one-touch blanket and impression cylinder cleaning; fully automatic plate changing of each plate in under 40 seconds; and a redesigned dampening system that allows for non-VOC printing all contribute to the environmental friendliness of the new press. Komori ran several jobs on the LSX29 continuously for 90 minutes each day during the show to illustrate its fast job changeover capabilities.
