SMALL-FORMAT PRESSES -- Small, But Powerful

Doug Schardt, assistant product manager for Komori America, shares a similar view of the industry. His company has found a way to overcome the shortage of skilled workers by making the presses easier to operate. Komori achieves that by enhancing its small-format machines to accept digital ink key data from prepress, just like large-format presses. This enhancement greatly improves color acquisition on a makeready and decreases setup time.
