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.
Most of our runs are under 5,000 so the very quick make-ready on the SPICA is vital.
However, we've also used the new Komori press to print two perfecting jobs, one of which was a 30,000 run of a 32-page two-colour booklet, which was produced extremely efficiently," said Brown.
The 29" SPICA replaced a two-colour B2 Roland and Komori has trained the two operators of this machine to use the new press.
"The four-colour SPICA takes the same floor area as the two-colour Roland, yet provides us with a huge degree of flexibility.
Swapping between perfecting and four-colour work is easily carried out, whilst the level of automation on the Komori press takes away a lot of the tedious tasks of printing.
The minders are extremely pleased to say the least," added Brown.
And he continued: "As well as providing a faster turn-around of work to clients, we've already received comments about the exceptionally high print quality that is output from the SPICA.
When we were looking for a replacement B2 press we examined everything that was available from the major suppliers within the £300,000 - £400,000 price band and we could find nothing that competed with the SPICA. Request a free brochure from Komori UK ...
Within its first week of operation we could see that the Komori press will exceed all our expectations.".
