I have written many articles about Landa Nanography since 2012 when it was first introduced. In this article I will give you an update; however, if you follow the links in this article you will get an in-depth look at the history, company, and technology. 

This new technology created significant industry buzz based on the promise of an offset quality B1 sheetfed inkjet press that would operate at 13,000 sheets per hour. When drupa 2016 rolled around, customers were anxious to buy one and take it home. Although, while the products and story were filled in with some more detail, it was still not ready for production release. In 2017, I had an opportunity to tour the factory and visit the first Landa beta site: Graphica Bezalle in Israel, not far from the Landa factory. Graphica Bezalle is a packaging printer that installed a Landa S10 simplex press. I was impressed with the evolution of the technology and the resultant quality I saw, although it was evident that there was still some work to do. They talked about some other beta sites on the horizon, but after that they went into a self-imposed quiet period.

Well, they may have been quiet, but they have also been very busy. And now they are ready to start talking. I recently visited their first S10P duplex press beta site, Mercury Printing in Rochester, N.Y., along with a small cadre of analysts and press. Nachum Korman, VP & GM Americas for Landa Digital Printing, gave us a fairly detailed overview of what they have been up to recently.
