Komoris Project D direct imaging B1 litho press, shown as a technology demonstration at Drupa, is to be launched as an official product next year.
A beta-site machine will be installed at an American user in the first quarter of 2001, prior to an official launch in the autumn.
The happy juxtaposition of the Print and Igas exhibitions in 2001 provides an ideal opportunity to launch in the east and west simultaneously, said Komori UK managing director Martin Rickards.
