Graph Expo: Sheetfed/Web Offset Printing -- Still Making Impressions
That was quite apparent at the Komori America booth, which featured three different sheetfed models. Twelve daily demonstrations were held to emphasize the ease of job changeovers with Komori presses. The star of the booth was the six-color, 41? LSX40 press with coater that debuted at Drupa.
Capable of speeds to 18,000 sph, enhancements include a more stable feeder and delivery; higher speed, fully automatic plate changers with non-stop plate removal; and a high-speed start function that enables the press to begin printing at 12,000 sph with makeready waste of as few as 20 sheets.
