Komori announced that Heeter, a full-service provider of innovative print and data solutions, has purchased an eight-color Komori GL40 perfector (GL840P) with UV capabilities. The 75-year-old, third-generation family-owned firm operates two facilities in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area and has recently acquired a third location in Cleveland, Ohio to serve a wide variety of clients in health insurance, gaming, pharmaceuticals, education, retail, banking, utilities/energy and more. This is the company’s first Komori press, replacing a competitive press. Key to choosing the Komori over the three press manufacturers Heeter considered was the GL840P’s ability to deliver more efficiencies, its UV printing capabilities and its ability to deliver a lower cost of ownership. With an eye on efficiency and the reduced cost of maintenance and upkeep, the company determined the Komori GL840P fit its growing need for increased capacity, reduced turnaround times and expanded capabilities. Because the press is a perfector, run times are cut in half for two-sided jobs and the UV capabilities allow for faster drying, so that jobs can be sent to the bindery or other finishing processes quickly. This is Heeter’s first UV press and the ability to offer the vibrant colors and special effects of UV printing is a powerful value-added proposition for the high-end markets it serves.
