Eight-Color Lithrone G40 Perfector with H-UV™ Expands Value-Added Services

Rolling Meadows, IL - March 30, 2017 -

Komori America Corporation announced today that Baesman Group, a digital marketing, direct mail marketing and printing  company in Columbus, OH, has purchased an eight-color Lithrone G40  perfector  (GL840P) with H-UV™. With retail direct mail as one of the company’s primary  offerings, Baesman  Group chose the GL840P  with H-UV to meet customer demands for lower cost and faster turnaround. Additionally,  Baesman  Group  is looking forward to expanding its offerings with the added capabilities of the H-UV system that make it possible to print on difficult stocks, like uncoated or matte, and to create special effects with all types of glosses and reticulating varnishes.


This is something it could not accomplish on the competitive press it replaced. “We help leading retailers improve marketing campaigns and other touchpoints to drive customers to their
stores.  The new press will help us more easily  meet this mission,” said Rod Baesman, CEO of Baesman Group. “We’ve always been skeptical of perfecting and couldn’t do certain jobs based on layout issues.With Komori’s H-UV system we don’t have to worry about format  because the  sheets are  dry on both sides. It’s a press that truly delivers on the concept of one-and-done.”


Because of the speed the GL840P with H-UV delivers, the company projects it will reduce its makeready time  by  75  percent.  The company  also  looks forward to being able to  easily  print on substrates retailers are requesting, like metallics, vinyls and static clings.


“We are  pleased  Baesman  Group  invested in the GL840P with H-UV,” said  Mark Hopkins, vice president,sales for Komori America. “It will allow the company  to expand its already wide array of value-added services as well as meet its goal of increasing speed and lowering the cost of production.”
