Komori is launching its G37 Lithrone, a 37-inch option for commercial printers seeking the economical advantages of a smaller press.

It is being sold and serviced here through Komori agent Print & Pack Australia.

Still able to print eight-up A4, the G37 has the same output of the G40, and is also able to handle substrates up to 0.8mm thick, opening up extra packaging applications.

David Gunn, sales manager, Print & Pack says, “It is a new size offered between the 26 and the 40 for the Lithrone G series.

‘There has been one sold in Melbourne, and one sold in New Zealand.

“The advantage is that you can still print A1 sheets without a 40 inch press. That would suit some people, and be less be expansive. It is an economical size, smaller plates, and smaller stock size, depending on what you were wanting to print.

“This expands Komori’s size range. It is a commercial size printer for the Australian market, but more suited as a packaging press for the rest of the Asia region.”

Komori says, “The Lithrone G37 addresses market demands by handling paper thicknesses of 0.8 mm, and is available in six or seven colours with in-line coater configurations for high added value work required for package printing.

“It is offered with Komori’s H-UV / H-UV L (LED) curing system, PQA-S (Print Quality Assessment System for Sheetfed), PDF Comparator System and PDC (Print Density Control System) series.

“The 15,000 (13,000 on seven-colour machines) sheets per hour maximum printing speed and stable operation afforded by these systems make the press an advanced package printing system that enables stable quality and prevents printing problems.”
