The Komori SPICA-429P is a used 4 colour press — sometimes referred to as a four-colour offset press or sheetfed press — a type of printing machine used in commercial and industrial print production to lay down multiple ink colours in a single pass through the press. Komori is a well-established Japanese manufacturer with a long history of producing sheetfed and web offset printing presses for the commercial print, packaging, and publishing industries.
This 2006 machine is located in the United Kingdom and is described as being in excellent condition. It has accumulated 34 million impressions and is available for immediate delivery. The press handles a sheet format of 72 × 74 cm, placing it in the medium-large sheetfed category suited to a wide range of commercial print applications.
The press is configured as a perfector, capable of running in both straight 4/0 and perfecting 2/2 modes, allowing double-sided printing in a single pass. It is equipped with Komori's PQC (Print Quality Control) system for inline quality monitoring, and KMS (Komori Monitoring System) for press performance tracking and diagnostics. Semi-automatic plate mounting (S-APC) is fitted, reducing makeready times between jobs.
Damping is handled by the Komorimatic system, a continuous dampening solution associated with consistent ink-water balance across the run. The feeder uses a suction tape mechanism, and double sheet detection is included to protect the press from paper feed errors. Impression cylinders are chromed, which contributes to durability and print consistency over extended production runs.
Delivery is via a low-pile unit, and powder spray equipment is fitted to prevent ink set-off on the delivered stack. The combination of quality control electronics, semi-automatic plate changing, and perfecting capability makes this a well-specified press for a production print environment.
