Offset Bigger than Ever at Drupa

This investment comes, in part, due to anticipated demand for Komori’s new Lithrone SX40 (LSX40) short-run press platform. Capable of speeds to 18,000 sph and accommodating a 41˝ sheet size, the six-color LSX40 with coater reduces makeready times by 50 percent.

It uses new KHS-AI “advanced intelligence” sheetfed technology, as well as a new automatic plate-changing system. All inking functions, and air and register presets, are controlled with the touch of a button. “Self-learning” capabilities preset the press based on substrate conditions. A Smart Sequence feature lets users select the most appropriate of three pre-programmable, automatic operations for press setup.
