At Komori America, every month brings new proof that the future of print is being built right now — in press rooms, at training centers, and on show floors around the world. Here's a look at the stories that defined June 2026.
CMYKhub Sets a New Standard for Trade Printing in Australia
In one of the most significant commercial installations of the year, CMYKhub — one of Australia's leading trade printers — has deployed the Komori Lithrone GX40RP, marking the first installation of its kind in the country.
The Lithrone GX40RP's convertible perfecting technology allows operators to switch between single-sided and perfecting modes without interruption, dramatically reducing makeready time and expanding the range of jobs a single press can handle. For a high-volume trade shop like CMYKhub, the result is measurable: more jobs, faster turnaround, and a stronger competitive edge.
This installation is a testament to the growing global demand for Komori's convertible perfecting platform — and a clear signal of where high-performance trade printing is headed.

Komori America Supports the 60th PICA Awards
The printing industry's commitment to craft and excellence was on full display at the 60th PICA (Printing Industries Craftsmanship Awards), and Komori America was proud to be part of it.
PICA has long recognized the artistry, precision, and dedication that define the best work in print. Supporting the awards — especially at such a milestone anniversary — reflects Komori's belief that the people behind the press matter just as much as the technology itself. The next generation of print professionals were celebrated, recognized, and inspired, and that's something worth investing in.
