Komori America has announced the first installation of its next-generation digital press, the J-throne 29, in North America at 1Vision’s Houston, Texas, facility, scheduled for Summer 2025. This marks a significant milestone in Komori’s efforts to expand its digital press technologies in the region. 1Vision, a long-standing Komori customer known for its innovation in commercial printing and direct mail, has chosen the J-throne 29 to enhance its operational efficiency, versatility, and ability to deliver faster turnarounds and exceptional quality to its clients.
A Strategic Investment in Innovation
1Vision has built a national reputation for combining high-speed output with exceptional quality across a wide range of print services. The addition of the J-throne 29 aligns with the company’s vision for growth in the digital print segment, particularly with the B2+ sheet size, which offers greater flexibility and productivity. According to Allen Taheri, CEO and Owner of 1Vision, Komori has been a trusted partner over the past seven years, and the decision to invest in the J-throne 29 was driven by its potential to enhance their business model. Taheri highlighted the company’s positive experience during a demo of the machine at Komori’s Japan factory, which solidified their confidence in its capabilities.
What Makes the J-throne 29 Stand Out?
The J-throne 29 is designed to set a new standard for digital printing, offering several advanced features that cater to the evolving needs of the print industry:
- High-speed output: Capable of printing 6,000 sheets per hour, the press ensures rapid production without compromising quality.
- B2+ sheet size (23” x 29”): This larger format expands the range of applications, making it ideal for commercial, direct mail, packaging, and specialty printing.
- LED UV instant curing: This feature enhances energy efficiency and accelerates the finishing process, reducing production time.
- Wide color gamut: A newly formulated ink system delivers vibrant and accurate color reproductions, ensuring high-quality prints.
- Enhanced operability: The press is supported by Komori’s KP-Connect platform, which enables remote maintenance and improves operational efficiency.
These features position the J-throne 29 as a game-changing solution for print providers looking to blend offset-grade performance with digital flexibility.
