Siegwerk has been approved as Komori’s European supplier of K-Supply ink system

By entering into this agreement, K-Supply ink will be produced by Siegwerk for Komori’s H-UV system, and Komori will officially supply for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Komori offers its customers under the brand name K-Supply, a lineup of consumables and materials that are approved for the Komori printing presses. All inks certified as K-Supply ink are defined by high-level hardness, print quality, versatility and economic performance. The high sensitive UV inks produced by Siegwerk will be sold under the brand name K-Supply by Komori and Siegwerk.

With its H-UV system, the Komori offers customers an UV curing system that uses one H-UV lamp and runs with high-sensitivity H-UV inks from selected suppliers. In comparison to conventional UV curing, the amount of carbon emissions from Komori’s H-UV system is only around one quarter. Komori’s instant drying system doesn't’t produce ozone, ensures very low heat generation and offers superior print quality, reliability as well as an excellent economic and eco-friendly performance.

‘The partnership with Siegwerk will play a key role in Komori's endeavor to strengthen and to broaden its range of service offerings under the K-Supply brand,’ said Kazunori Saitoh, director and executive operating officer at Komori Corporation. ‘This alliance built upon Komori’s H-UV technology with 700 installations worldwide and fusion between printing know-how obtained from such customer requests and Siegwerk’s profound technical know-how ensures the true benefits of H-UV technology is delivered to H-UV customers, and opens up a new dimension in the development of H-UV technology.’

As one of the leading global ink manufacturers and a specialist for UV technology, we see this partnership as an opportunity to bring our experience and knowledge directly to Komori’s customers and support their efforts for excellent performance as well as efficient and reliable processes.
