 Introduction
Today, the key to success doesn’t lie in speeds and feeds. What counts is how efficiently you print each and every job. The Lithrone SX29
29" OFFSET PRINTING PRESS ushers in a new era of efficiency, versatility and performance unmatched by any other half-size press.
It’s the largest half-size press that Komori offers, allowing for a 24/29 sheet and fully capitalizing on the vast spectrum of “in-between” jobs
and short runs that can make the difference between surviving and thriving.
But beyond flexibility, the Lithrone SX29 offers the most efficient job cycle around. From start to finish, the design emphasizes reducing
The world’s most efficient half-size press has arrived. hourly running costs. Running costs that directly impact profitability. The Lithrone SX29 accomplishes this with a makeready that’s 50%
shorter and a maximum printing speed of 16,000sph.
Along with a whole new world of opportunities. The new press is also fortified with features and functions that improve print quality, simplify operation, enhance durability and reliability
and minimize the impact on the environment. This innovative press is the perfect strategic addition to any operation and is destined to
become the go-to machine time and time again. It’s the half-size press that only Komori could build.
