Freeport was given the press manufacturer’s Worldwide Makeready Achievement Award in recognition of the most plates changed and/or the most makereadies ever achieved in a 24-hour period on any Komori 16-page web press.

Premier’s new eight-color, 40" Komori Lithrone perfecting press with UV capabilities replaces a 10-year-old 40" Komori six-color. “We produce a large amount of four-color work that’s printed on two sides, and the turnaround times that our customers require continue to shrink. We decided one way to satisfy these fast turnaround times is to go with a perfector,” said Chris Feryn, president of Premier Press.
Inform Printing serves a variety of area industries that have a high demand for personalized service and quality work. The advanced automation of the Komori Spica 529P makes it possible for the printer to expand its business offerings when it comes to color capabilities and a variety of formats, as well as offer faster turnaround due to the Spica’s full CIP4 advanced digital workflow capabilities.
The New York Bar Association’s print facility has recently installed a four-color Komori Lithrone S29 with coater (LS429C), replacing two older presses. It prints everything from brochures and direct mail pieces to book covers. A key driver in the decision was the high level of automation the press offers.
