Quantum Graphics Bundles Purchase of Eight-Color Komori GL advance Perfector and MBO T800.1 Buckle Folder (piworld.com)

Komori America announced that Quantum Graphics, a commercial printer based in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, is looking forward to gaining a higher level of automation and faster speed to market with the investment in its fourth Komori press, an eight-color Lithrone G40 advance perfector (GL840P advance) with LED-UV and an MBO T800.1 buckle folder. Experiencing substantial growth over the past several years, the company services well-known brands that demand high-quality, consistent color and fast turnaround. The GL840P advance’s ability to deliver high-speed production coupled with the MBO T800.1’s automated functions will provide the increased capacity needed to meet Quantum Graphics’ aggressive demand forecast.

“To meet our goals, we needed to update our equipment,” said Guy Peterson, president and CEO of Quantum Graphics. “As part of the process, we decided on the eight-color perfector because it would give us additional capabilities and greater capacity beyond our current offering. The press configuration is well-matched to the variety of work we already produce for our clients and will allow us to offer new inline embellishment and coating effects to add additional value to client projects. We anticipate the GL840P advance will double our throughput, which made adding a folder with the automated features of the T800.1 a must. Another key driver in choosing the GL840P advance was paper savings. Our analysis showed that the automation tools in the press to expedite job changeover and makeready will allow us to substantially reduce the amount of paper needed to get to color and cut production time in half. This will increase our speed to market and reduce costly setup waste, saving money and resources.”
