Digitale pers Komori leverbaar op Drupa

Op de Komori stand zal een aantal spectaculaire nieuwkomers te zien zijn. Zoals het digitale printsysteem Impremia IS29 en de NS40 uitgerust met Landa nanotechnologie. De eerste is direct leverbaar. De laatste is een echte Komori pers met landa technieken erin: wanneer die leverbaar is weet nog niemand te vertellen. Komori biedt haar klanten interessante combinaties van digitale persen en offset persen met de sneldrogende UV techniek.
Komori toont in zijn stand van 2100 vierkante meter maar liefst vijf draaiende drukpersen.

“Komori overcame the global recession that followed the collapse of Lehman Brothers
through structural transformation and business model innovation, and the business
model of the new Komori was unveiled at IGAS 2015. And the upcoming drupa 2016 will
be Komori’s most important business activity this fiscal year.
First of all, Komori’s main theme at drupa 2016 will be “Open New Pages,” a continuation
from IGAS 2015. We will propose new business models by connecting customers with
Komori, linking offset with digital, and connecting the management factors related to
printing plant production and quality. For this purpose, “Connected Print” will be our
subtheme. We will convert the achievements of the structural transformation and
business model innovation in sales activities shown at IGAS into solutions and ideas for
customers to Open New Pages and show them at drupa.

Second, in digital printing systems, drupa will begin regular sales of the Impremia IS29,
our inkjet UV printing system, jointly developed with Konica Minolta. The Open New
Pages Show at the Komori Graphic Technology Center (KGC) this February attracted
nearly 400 customers. Open house events were also held at Komori America Corporation
this February and Komori International (Europe) B.V. in March, and the ability to print
directly on a wide variety of stocks and the high print quality impressed attendees and
many inquiries were received. At drupa, Komori will show our unique and original
solutions. And we will demonstrate the innovative B1-size Impremia NS40 digital printing
system that uses in-the-spotlight nano technology under license from Landa Corporation.
This new product will perform high-speed printing at 6,500 sph as the world’s first B1
digital printing system. We believe that visitors will experience the technical innovations
and performance improvements that have been made in the four years since Landa
announced the system at drupa 2012.
Third, we will release the new Lithrone G29 29-inch offset printing press. The design has
been renovated, and the press has been reborn as a high-end machine meeting the
printing needs of increasingly advanced and complex markets. In the future, this base
machine will be developed into a system with productivity surpassing digital printing
systems. Also, the Lithrone GX40RP equipped with the latest technologies will show the
ultimate short makeready using parallel control and high productivity of 18,000 sph
printing, while the Lithrone GX40 with coater will demonstrate new printing control and
a high-precision print inspection system that enable high-speed package printing. All
offset presses will be equipped with the H-UV innovative curing system and demonstrated
using K-Supply H-UV ink. We intend to make drupa an opportunity to strengthen sales of K-Supply products in Europe.
Fourth, we will exhibit the Apressia CT137 cutter as a part of our PESP business. We will
demonstrate cutting of printed sheets that have been cured by the H-UV system and
finishing as final products. Further, we will propose Komori ICT (Information
Communications Technology) Solutions, a powerful tool supporting the visualization and
automation of processes, labor saving, and productivity enhancement. These consist
mainly of KP-Connect, for simple visualization of operating conditions over the cloud
anytime and anywhere, and K-Station 4, for optimum scheduling of all presses.
Komori will start a new medium-term Management Plan this April, and continue to not
only transform the business structure but also positively promote business model
innovation in sales activities and the PESP business. The plan calls for “change” to be
completed within the next three years. drupa is the stage for new product development,
and we will continue to clearly communicate Komori’s product development achievements
to everyone in the printing industry at this show and IGAS. Under our main theme of
“Open New Pages,” we will make proposals for customers to open new pages as a total
solution provider.”
