About Komori inkjet digital printing systems
· The Impremia NS40
Introducing a new digital press with the impressive productivity and profitability needed to expand customers’ businesses by meeting growing demand for short and medium runs, including variable printing and versioning for immediate turnaround on jobs, such as packages, displays and point-of-purchase.

Supported by Komori's previously amassed technologies and with a unique design combining offset and inkjet using image transfer blankets, the press achieves B1 print speeds of 6,500 sph. As a “digital offset” press, the NS40 is the peak of digital presses and is made possible only by Komori.

· The Impremia IS29s
The Impremia IS29 professional-spec UV inkjet digital printing system has evolved once more: now introducing the advanced Impremia IS29s. In addition to the full range of highly received basic features—such as suitability with a wide range of printing stocks and sheet thicknesses, stable high print quality thanks to its superior tone reproduction and register accuracy and instant curing/one-pass double-sided printing for immediate finishing—a variety of options to further increase usability and create added value are also available.

The Impremia IS29s pushes the boundaries of digital printing, meeting the needs of not only commercial printing, where short runs of many different printed products and short turnarounds are required, but also those of package printing, with increased productivity and efficiency.
