Rolling Meadows, IL — 05/29/2025 – Komori Corporation has released a new video featuring an in-depth conversation between Jun Kikuchi and Yoshihito Nakamura, two of Komori’s key leaders in product development and business strategy, discussing the inspiration, innovation, and engineering behind the J-throne 29 — Komori’s most advanced digital press to date.
As Komori continues to invest in digital technology alongside its legacy in offset printing, the J-throne 29 stands out as a high-speed, energy-efficient solution built for the future of commercial printing. Developed to meet evolving customer demands for speed, flexibility, and sustainability, the J-throne 29 offers:
- A blazing print speed of 6,000 sheets per hour
- LED UV instant drying for reduced energy consumption
- A newly developed ink optimized for high-speed and post-press compatibility, including foil, lamination, and varnish
- Enhanced user operability and remote maintenance through Komori’s KP-Connect platform
- Faster job changeovers for increased productivity
The conversation reflects Komori’s customer-driven approach to development. Real-world feedback shaped every facet of the J-throne 29—from high-speed throughput to seamless finishing compatibility. “In this industry, it's rare to have a print job that doesn't involve finishing,” said Kikuchi. “That’s why our ink and processability were designed with postpress in mind.”
Komori’s goal is clear: to bring its renowned precision and innovation into the digital arena. “Until now, we’ve been recognized as a leader in offset,” said Nakamura. “Now, we want to be equally recognized for digital — and the J-throne 29 is how we’re making that leap.”
