16,500 Sheets Per Hour
Komori America's Lithrone G40 press combines technologies from the Lithrone SX40 with the award-winning features of the Lithrone S40. With Komori's KHS-AI technology at its core, and a maximum printing speed of 16,500 sheets per hour, the Lithrone G40 is the backbone of Komori's innovative "Offset-on-Demand" concept. It features a Suction Tape Feeder Board equipped with one belt in the center and no brushers or rollers to ensure stable, accurate feeding regardless of paper weight. The Komori Lithrone G40's automatic blanket washing system is enhanced with the use of pre-soaked cloth for blanket and impression washer cleaning. The full APC (automatic plate changing) is faster than previous systems, and employs the use of a benderless clamp, eliminating the need to bend plates and making plate discharge and feeding more efficient. —www.komori.com

With engine speeds of up to 135, 120 and 110 letter-sized images per minute, Océ VarioPrint 135/120/110 digital presses combine Océ's print technology, engine and PRISMAsync controller with Canon scanning and finishing solutions.
