Komori Corporation (Sumida-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President and CEO Satoshi Mochida) ("KOMORI") hereby announce its decision to cancel its participation to the drupa 2021 exhibition postponed until 20th to 30th April 2021, due to remaining concerns over the spread of novel coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19).

Until now, pad printing has only been able to display different levels of brightness and colour gradients, as known from photography, with a great deal of effort and usually with unstable results. With the help of print screens, this representation could be simulated at least for the human eye. Thanks to the Tampoprint development of laser-structurable clichés such as the intaglio cliché and the development of 3D microstructuring such as with the Cliché Laser Xi, colour and brightness gradients as well as four-colour print motifs can now be convincingly represented.

Quality is one of the biggest differentiators in the packaging industry. Other factors matter too of course – cost efficiency, sustainability, lead times – but ultimately if packaging fails the quality test, it can jeopardize a whole run, and a customer relationship with it. In some sectors – pharmaceuticals for example – packaging faults can have even more significant consequences.
