Two new Komori presses, a 10-colour Lithrone S29H Perfector and a five-colour Lithrone S29H, will help Matthews the Printers increase client service and quality when they are installed this summer.
Its integrated KHS-AI (advanced interface) control system is said to provide one-step register adjustment, colour matching and fold adjustment to shorten make-ready times and minimise paper waste.
Szabo added: "We opted for the Komori's System 38S with this particular specification to obtain an overall better quality and to increase our production capacity.
We did consider other makes of press but Komori had it all - quality, technology and delivery." The press joins three other existing web presses and three offset presses and it will enable Infopress to meet the upsurge in demand, said Komori.
Szabo explained: "We have the flexibility to fit the job to the press and have the ability to distribute the workload very efficiently across our presses.
This is an important investment for us and ensures we can maintain our leadership in the high circulation magazine and retail brochures market." Infopress has geared up its pre-press and finishing departments to accommodate and streamline the volume of work it handles.
Two platesetters produce all the plates that are required for all the presses.
A Screen B1 Platerite 8600 CTP unit and Screen VLF Platerite Ultima 32000 platesetter, said to be capable of producing plates up to a maximum 2,100mm x 1,600mm at 29 plates per hour, or over 50 plates per hour imaging two B1 plates simultaneously.
