Komori has launched a new Lithrone G37, an A1 press that will print 8-up on one sheet, and that comes with a significantly lower price than a B1 press. 
Komori says the new addition to its Lithrone sheetfed offset press G series will address printer’s needs to print many different products with short turnarounds, short runs and low cost. It is aimed at B2 printers looking to upgrade their productivity without incurring the costs of a B1 sized press. The Japanese designed Lithrone G37 sheetfed offset press is capable of printing sheets up to 640 x 940mm, at speeds of 15,000sph, which Komori says space enough for 8 A4 pages and a colour bar. Its H-UV means instant drying. Rayne Simpson, general manager of Australian supplier Ferrostaal ANZ says, “Since colour management can be implemented by including a CMS colour bar on sheets even with 8-up A4 or American letter size impositions, this press is ideal for producing high page-count products with high print quality. “Equipped with an evolved version of the KHS-AI integrated control system for quick print start-up, this offset on demand press addresses the critical needs of short turnarounds, many different printed products, short runs and low cost.” He says with 15,000 sheets per hour maximum printing speed and stable operation afforded by automated systems with KHS-AI at their core makes the Lithrone G37 ‘the ultimate high technology machine for productivity and consistent bottom-line performance’. Simpson says the worldwide launch of Lithrone G37 sheetfed offset press means those interested in Australia can place their orders now.
