Komori Corporation has unveiled the newest addition to its Lithrone G Series, the Lithrone GX44RP offset press.
The latest in one-pass double-sided printing, the 44-inch Lithrone GX44RP, equipped with H-UV™, is designed to deliver high quality, high productivity and short turnaround stability for double-sided printing - for applications like publication printing (magazines and books) and duplex package printing.
Key features include single-edge gripping which makes the margin on the tail edge of the sheets unnecessary - enabling paper costs to be cut by minimizing the sheet size - and the use of four double-size transfer cylinders, which eliminates sheet reversal and ensures stable sheet transport for handling either light or heavy stocks through.
Additionally, front/back plate imaging is in the same direction, (as with single-sided presses) increasing efficiency in prepress.
Supported by the KHS-AI integrated control system, benderless Full-APC and the H-UV curing system, the Lithrone GX44RP expands the OffsetOnDemand experience by providing short makeready and powderless instant drying to accommodate fast turnarounds.
Options that can be included are the A-APC Asynchronous Automatic Plate Changer, the PDC-SX Spectral Print Density Control SX Model and the PQA-S Print Quality Assessment System to achieve higher levels of quality and productivity.
