Komori Corporation has great confidence in the future of traditional offset printing – based on the fact that Komori produces and sells large offset printing presses. Although these machines now have a much higher speed and integrate the highest automation level, the core technology remains the same.
Besides, Mr. Komori still believes strongly in traditional offset and this is reflected in the investments they have made in their huge factories and new komori machines they manufacture and perhaps that is the most accurate opinion related to the future of printing.
We are already aware that in the future digital printing will take a big slice of the market. The trend, worldwide, is that offset presses manufacturers to “digitize” as much as they can, trying to shorten to the maximum, the work flow from monitor to print. Other serious producers, particularly Japanese, have taken out from supply / production the 35×50 format machines due to strong competition in this segment of digital printing.[adsenseyu1]
Although the sales were good in this format, they simply removed them from production because they thought of their business long-term.
But so far, the replacement of traditional offset with digital offset will take some more. Technology is rapidly advancing, and therefore, this situation is likely to happen. Software solutions already exist, but the only obstacle are the basic materials that are part of a machine.
Ideas and patents for digital printing are many, but their application encounters materials technology development which is not progressing as fast. Offset machines are more stable in operation for they have many years of development behind and continuous improvement has been reported, while almost all technical problems that may occur in service were solved.
But the digital printing is also advancing rapidly. From one model to another, from year to year, even from month to month, digital presses are becoming more stable, more efficient, more productive and flexible. The general trend is to move from offset to digital, but that will likely happen in 10-20 years.Komori came up with its own concept of digital, inkjet, in 2012. To illustrate this technology, they presented to the public two printing machines: a machine that prints from the roll and the other which is sheet -fed.

Besides, there are traditional machines, traditional offset that has been upgraded and improved with new automation and new software designed to assist the operator and minimize the waste of time and paper. So it does not matter if old or new, digital or offset Komori machines are among the most reliable out there.
For anybody in the printing industry who is looking to invest in the better or the best in their business area, just take a look at the Komori offers for they sure mean business. The main advantage is probably their products are available for any market and are both cost-friendly and eco-friendly.
The answer to the question where to find them comes right up: online –which is one of the easiest way. All you have to do is to use the two key words: komori machines and your door to new perspectives will open. If you rather go for the tradition and the fact that offset is here to stay, you are welcomed to try any of our “oldies but goldies models” on: http://usedpresses.org/komori-machines/ .
