Komori America Corporation announces that its Lithrone GX40RP (29\u201d x 41\u201d sheet size) and Lithrone GX44RP (33\u201d x 44\u201d sheet size) dedicated double-sided offset printing presses, are now available with the company\u2019s advance technology. Komori\u2019s GX\/G advance series of offset presses supports the thrust for both digital transformation and sustainability by offering full automation and a link to other production processes using centralized, digital technologies. The GLX40\/44RP advance is a powerful platform that meets the demands of a new generation of printing by enabling dedicated two-sided printing without the use of a traditional, convertible perfecting unit. It dramatically reduces production time, increases the printable area of the sheet, improves the front-to-back register quality and substantially improves efficiency, making a focus on sustainability profitable for printers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the reverse printing technology inherent in the GLX40\/44RP advance, there is no need to flip the sheet to print on both sides, resulting in design advantages, as the sheet does not need to have non-print gripper area for both the lead and the tail sides of the sheet. The 18,000 sph, multi-color presses require a gripper margin on only one side, saving about a half inch of paper per sheet or allowing more square inches to be available for image area, both of which generate less waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beneficial to both commercial and packaging printers, the presses deliver high-speed, one-pass, two-sided printing with great stability, making it possible to print on commercial grade papers, board stock and synthetic substrates ranging from 40# to 20 pt. or 8 pt. to 32 pt., depending on configuration. This makes the presses ideal for producing an extremely wide range of two-sided products. Additionally, the GLX40\/44RP advance are fully optioned presses that include Komori\u2019s Full Asynchronous Automatic Plate Changing (A-APC), fully automatic color control, register control and defect detection (PQA-S) and Komori\u2019s unique, self-learning makeready interface (KHS-AI) that allows for short makeready times and reduced paper waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additional features of the GLX40\/44RP advance include:
\u2022 Double-size impression and transfer cylinders with identical gripper systems
\u2022 New Komori advance feeder and delivery technology
\u2022 Improved front-to-back register accuracy
\u2022 Computerized visibility of production results
\u2022 Efficient use of consumables
\u2022 Low cost of ownership and high return on investment<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe GLX40\/44RP advance series sets Komori apart from the rest by adding a highly productive configuration that operates particularly well on heavy or light stocks, which could be challenging on a traditional perfector,\u201d said Lance Martin, vice president, marketing, Komori America. \u201cThe improvement in productivity is beyond expectations. Our customers who installed these presses have found them the perfect solution for delivering high production efficiency for both packaging and commercial applications while still meeting the environmental goals so important today.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
