Umm, last time I checked, Komori doesn’t build MBO presses. You show an MBO and claim you use Komori exclusively…..might wanna re-shoot that part. Nice informative video for someone not in the know, though.

this video is well made and informative.
we run a business in Australia with very similar equipment, our Komori would run between 10 & 13 iph all the time and its the same as yours, we find they run better quicker. ps: you workspace is neat

Hi, I run a Goss news paper press – 30 units. I just ran a 32 page news paper with 16 pages of four color, in 80 min. (including make ready) 6500 copies. And just me & Richard (Two people.) We can burn 6000Lbs. of paper in 1 hour.

Best press I’ve operated is a Sanden 1250CM web offset,10 color UV with fan folding,cut sheet or rewind on 2 turent rewinder.
Delivery unit has 2 magnetic perf cyl’s,2 bar perf cyl’s & line hole punching. Pretty bad ass press too. Now I operate a DGM 440 9 web newspaper press. Bad as too!
