Komori is known on the used market for precise registration and excellent dot reproduction; the Lithrone series with H-UV is a favourite for high-end print. When buying used, focus on the console version and drying configuration.
- Registration & feeder: Komori's feeder and gripper system have a strong reputation — check suction, sheet travel and transfer stability.
- Inking & dampening: inspect roller pressures and dampening condition; on H-UV units review the UV lamps and cooling.
- Console: read parameters from the PQC system and confirm there are no hidden alarms.
- Format choice: the LS-29 is B2 and the LS-40 is B1 — pick the model by your job format.
How to judge drying config
H-UV saves energy and smells less, but lamp and reflector condition set curing quality — confirm remaining lamp life before ordering.
Wear parts to inspect
Blankets, plate clamps, ink and dampening rollers are best checked on site to avoid discovering age-related wear only after delivery.
Print acceptance
Run a sample to judge high-screen reproduction and ink uniformity, watching solid and gradient performance closely.
Conclusion: Komori suits premium work that demands high screen counts and stable registration; it's worth buying whenever the console and drying system are healthy. View our available Lithrone unit or browse the full used press inventory to compare.
