Titled ‘Komori Packaging Solutions,’ the event was organised mainly for overseas customers interested in or considering the company’s Lithrone GX40 or Lithrone GX40RP packaging press. Total 96 visitors, representing 59 companies from 17 countries, participated in the event, which included a seminar, factory tour, printing demonstrations, and presentations on packaging markets by customers.

Komori’s package printing presses include Komori-Chambon machines (enabling in-line finishing such as die-cutting for paper cartons), sheetfed offset presses (packaging for food, pharmaceuticals and home products), Impremia IS29 (inkjet digital printing system, which is coming soon) and Impremia Landa S40 (Nanography; schedule of future-oriented lineup)

According to a company spokesperson, the Komori Lithrone GX40 concept comprises of high productivity on long runs with heavy stock by means of stable high-speed operation, seamless short makeready even with special colors, high print quality that meets the needs of deluxe printing, wide range of machine configurations and specifications, and so on.

The participants at the open house were also given demonstrations of the Lithrone GX40 and Lithrone GX40RP.

The Lithrone GX40 is six-color 40-inch sheetfed offset press, which can be used for the package printing of pharmaceuticals boxes. It can be equipped with a variety of features that are effective for package printing.

The Lithrone GX40RP is a 40-inch double-sided sheetfed offset press that uses an arrangement featuring single-edge gripping and the elimination of sheet reversal. Due to single-edge gripping, the margin on the tail edge of the sheet that is necessary with perfectors is not needed, so paper costs can be held down. Thanks to the cylinder configuration of four double-size transfer cylinders without sheet reversal, the press offers stable transport of paper with high print quality in package printing.
