New Lithrone A37P Lineup Debuts in Lithrone A Series
Tuesday 23. July 2013 - Komori Corporation (Head Office: Sumida-ku, Tokyo, Japan; Chairman, President and CEO: Yoshiharu Komori) has announced the Lithrone A37P 37-inch convertible perfecting offset printing press as a new entry in the Lithrone A series presses.
The Lithrone A37P 37-inch convertible perfecting offset printing press has been developed as a new entry in the Lithrone A series presses. The Lithrone A37P is a multifunctional press that offers high basic performance and is equipped with a sheet reversal mechanism that enables the user to perform double-sided or single-sided printing with just one press. It is also very versatile, capable of printing on either thin or thick sheets. Since the Lithrone A37P permits not only one-pass four-color printing but also front/back two-color printing of 8-up impositions of A4 size sheets that include a color bar for CMS (*1) in the margin, the press is ideal for high quality paged printed items (*2). Primarily as a four-color perfector but also as a two-color press, the machine is a flexible solution for a wide range of orders, including reference works, dictionaries, promotional books, and comics.
The Lithrone A series presses offer a compact machine size and a maximum sheet size of 640 x 940 mm that is capable of meeting a wide range of needs, thus giving these machines a significant competitive edge in publishing and commercial printing work. Since their introduction, these presses have won a solid reputation as highly functional machines suited to their target markets and have registered excellent sales results, mainly in Asian countries such as Japan, China and India.
Both the Lithrone A37 and the Lithrone A37P perfector can be specified with the H-UV in-line instant drying system. The system is the solution to many printing problems because it improves print quality by being powderless, offers short turnaround thanks to the reduction of total lead time, accommodates added value work such as printing on heavy substrates, reduces the operator workload and environmental impact, and improves productivity by enhancing working efficiency.
