Oxfordshire-based academic book and catalogue specialist Lynx has become the UK's first printer with a 10-colour Komori Lithrone 28.

The B2 long perfector is in the final stages of installation at the moment.

Managing director Keith Nicoll has also just signed up for a second Lithrone at Igas.

The five-colour Lithrone 28 will replace a MAN Roland 305 at the end of April next year.

Komori sees the firm's commitment to its presses as a major coup having pipped Heidelberg to the deal.

Nicoll is planning to apply computer integrated manufacturing at Lynx and to connect the Komoris to its Tharstern MIS and to its Screen Trueflow pre-press workflow, which drives a pair of PlateRite 4100 platesetters.
