Komori Europe is set to cause a stirat its European open house with its Lithrone G29 B2-format H-UV offset press. Already unveiled at Drupa 2016. Professionals will be able to witness in-depth demonstrations of the qualities of this press, which is already setting new standards in the world of printing.

Open house on graphic technologies

Komori, the Japanese manufacturer, in the presence of its sales partner Screen, is opening the doors of its Graphic Technology Centre on 5 and 6 October. It is located in Utrecht in the Netherlands, on the site of its European centre. This will be an opportunity for the European subsidiary of the group founded in 1923 to present 3 new press models: the Lithrone G29 H-UV offset press, the Komori Impremia IS29 UV inkjet press and the Screen Truepress Jet520HD rotary inkjet press. The focus will be on the enormous potential of B2 half-format printing for businesses. Komori will also explain how it has evolved from a specialist in the manufacture of printing presses to a Print Engineering Services Provider (PESP).

Half-format redesigned for business

The B2 format is only used by professional printing systems that have to meet the requirements of the ISO216 standard. It has huge potential for businesses. Used for printing on both thin and thick media, it is ideal for creating posters and postcards, among other things. Komori’s inkjet presses and printers are perfectly suited to these applications, enabling large runs to be produced with very high print quality. The marketing and communication sectors will be directly impacted by these new cutting-edge graphic technologies.

A new vision of printing

Unveiled at Drupa 2016, Komori’s B2 format Lithrone G29 H-UV offset press is unique in the printing world. It can be configured for five colours, plus varnish, with an extended delivery. It boasts high productivity of up to 16,500 sheets/hour. It can handle both thick and thin substrates. The maximum sheet size is 530mm x 750mm, and the maximum plate size is 605mm x 760mm. The maximum print area is 520mm x 740mm. Media thickness can vary between approximately 0.04 mm and 0.6 mm.
