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.

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.
