Spica's Oust Heidelberg Presses, Boost Production
One of Komori's newly-released five-colour Spica 29P 29-inch presses has joined a Lithrone S29 in ousting Heidelberg Speedmaster 72 presses at C K Litho.
We went to Leeds to see the SPICA in operation and were immediately impressed by its quality, printing speed and fast make-ready times.
The SPICA's ability to be used as a straight four-colour press or a two-back-two will provide us with enormous flexibility, enabling us to take on more and varied work without increasing production costs." Print City offers in-house production services to the trade and will replace a four-colour Heidelberg MOVP press with the new SPICA when it arrives during the summer.
The company expects the SPICA's capacity to handle heavy weight stock to be an additional bonus.
Firth commented: "We print runs from 500 to 500,000, so quick turn-around and fast running speeds are essential as many of the jobs we produce are for leading household names.
The ability of the Komori presses to handle heavy weight stock is important to us and we often use the Lithrone L528 to print 350gsm board, which is ready for cutting and creasing within 15 minutes of landing in the delivery.
I think many printers would agree that the Komori models provide the best print quality of any sheet-fed press, while Komori has given us a superb after-sales care over the years. Request a free brochure from Komori UK ...
The design of the new SPICA makes it a particularly easy press to operate - we're looking forward to its arrival.".
