The Latest in OffsetOnDemand One-Pass Double-sided Printing Presses Carries on the Brilliant Performance of Komori’s Lithrone G Series

Rolling Meadows, IL - January 16, 2017 -

Komori Corporation announced  today  the introduction  of its newest addition to the Lithrone G Series,  the Lithrone  GX44RP  offset  press. The  ultimate  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, perfect for applications like publication printing (magazines and books) and duplex package printing.


Key features of the new press 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, (just 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  cutting-edge  short makeready and powderless instant drying to accommodate fast turnarounds.  In addition,  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 even higher levels of quality and productivity.
