    Has anyone got any feedback on running a Komori Lithrone S29P 8 or 10 colour press?
    We are looking at investing in a press of this type and I would like to here from anyone who has owned or ran one of these presses and their thoughts on how good/bad they are.
    Thank you for your time.

    I have never run a Komori perfector, I have run rollands & heidelbergs, but the biggest issues is wet ink on the downside, look at what type of slowdown wheels the machine has are they moveable from side to side, how much air control there is in the tunnel, and anything that could cause marking on the downside. Good Luck FSA

    I have only just stumbled upon this forum, think it's great! I run the S29P 8 color perfector with coating unit. It's a perfect quick turn around press. Runs without issues. Running 10Pt stock to avoid "offset" on the reverse, set powder at 25%. For 60lb etc set to 7.5% - rack card stock at reasonable intervals (650) and 60lb @ 1450 sheets. Regular cleaning of delivery belly pan will avoid ink build up and drag on reverse side of sheet.
