TSUKUBA MANUFACTURING PLANT — STILL PRESSING AHEAD

Komori also used its open house to announce the new Lithrone LS 29 series (also available in a 26˝ model) that will be introduced at IPEX next month. They replace the Lithrone 26/28 series. A five-color Lithrone S29 with coater and 10-color S29(P) perfector (shown) will be at the show.

Key features of the 16,000 sph press include six-minute changeovers from one job to the next (50 percent faster than the Lithrone 28) with fully automatic plate changers and blanket washers, high-speed pre-inking, as well as optional convertible perfecting for printing on a wide range of stocks.
