Komori Corporation, a Japan-based offset printing press manufacturer, has launched a new Lithrone GX40P Perfector to its product portfolio of Lithrone GX40 40-inch sheetfed presses. 

 

The new Lithrone GX40 can efficiently handle both double-sided, one-pass and straight multicolour printing. The new product comes with a perfecting mechanism to guarantee high productivity and portability.

 

The Lithrone GX40P's perfecting mechanism utilises Komori's unique three double-size cylinder arrangement. The impression cylinder, transfer cylinder and perfecting cylinder are each double-size to avoid stress on the paper. 

 

The new sheetfed press is simplified and is rigid. Its new perfecting mechanism ensures high-speed, stable two-sided printing at 18,000 sheets per hour speed, displaying excellent heavy stock compatibility with both single- and double-sided printing.

 

With the new product, the company has increased quality and productivity even further with a variety of options, such as features like parallel makeready to shorten makeready times, autopilot, for non-stop automation from test printing to production printing, and options such as the A-APC (Asynchronous Automatic Plate Changing System), PDC-SX (Spectral Print Density Control - SX model) and PQA-S (inline Print Quality Assessment System (Sheet)) that makes quality and productivity improvements possible. 

 

Lithrone GX40P reduces work load around the board, with its automation functions. The new press ensures environmentally and workplace-friendly printing that saves energy and space and reduces exhaust heat.
