    Hi

    I am currently looking at the these presses, to be honest i don't have any experience with any thing but Heidelberg & Some Ryobi Presses.

    So first of all can someone tell me whats the differences between the Litherone & Sprint?

    Thanks

    Billy

    The lithrone is just a newer version of the sprint. better built. id go for a lithrone every time.

    Hi Billy

    Lithrone is much better build quality than Sprint.

    Lithrone has...
    Komorimatic dampening as standard
    Double sideframes for high rigidity
    Triple race taper bearings to the plate/blanket/imp cyls
    Bearer contact type
    Double size impression and transfer cyls
    High Pile delivery
    Higher top speed Sprint 11k Lithrone 15k (last time I looked)
    PQC remote console for ink key/sweep...damp sweep...register lateral/circumferencial/cocking
    depending on spec of press you may also get KMS for CIP data and recording of job data for reruns
    Automated functions such as plate up, blanket, impression and roller wash up can be incorporated.

    Print quality is up there with the big H

    Sprint is more basic (and thus cheaper)

    Given the choice...Lithrone every time.
