“We reviewed other manufacturers during our selection process but found that what Komori is doing in terms of technology was a deciding factor for us. Not only does this press have the innovative technology we wanted, Komori’s approach to continued advancement gives us great confidence that this is a company in it for the long haul,” said Chris Alguire, president, PrintArt. “Our new Komori press replaces a competitive press in operation on our floor. Since installing the GL640C, the process improvements we are experiencing are nothing short of amazing.
