Faster, more precise, higher quality presses... Since originally having started out as a precision machine tool manufacturer in 1919, Shinohara has continuously over the years pursued better technology for its products. These efforts led to the completion of the first Japanese automated two-revolution printing press in 1957. In 1979, Shinohara released its patented perfecting system, and the company continues the pursuit of printing applications for next-generation products. And now there is the 75 Series Multicolor High-Pile Presses.
Shinohara is the only press manufacturer in Japan with its own foundry where it manufacturers many of the parts used in its Shinohara presses, including machine beds, side frames, and cylinders. The production focuses on precision mechatronic products that form the core of their printing press technology. This is a fundamental reason for the super rigidity and precision of cast parts.
The 75 Series Multicolor High-Pile Presses are the world's fastest -- at a printing speed of 17,000 IPH (impressions per hour), with large sheet width. The revolutionary technology provides businesses with opportunities for advanced strategies to meet a variety of industry and market demands.

Touch Screen Operation |
|
|
A wide variety of tasks can be controlled using a touch screen designed to enhance operator efficiency. Operators can also monitor their settings on the screen when they select plates or switch to perfecting. |
|
17,000 IPH |
|
|
The 75 Series Multicolor High-Pile press features a redesigned feeder head to meet the maximum printing speed of 17,000 IPH. There are also fewer adjustments required when changing the sheet size, which improves paper feed performance and reduces operator's adjustments. |
|
Registration System that Maintains Performance at High Production Speeds |
|
|
Increasing the rigidity of the grippers makes consistent registration at high-speed printing poisslbe. In addition, an ultrasonic double-sheet detector is used for monitoring misfeed papers regardless of thickness or color. |
|
Plate Changer |
|
|
Shinohara's Plate Changer (SPC) offers semi-automatic plate changing at the touch of a button, and requires no 90-degree bender and no tools, so any operator can change plates quickly and precisely. Plate changeover takes less than one minute per unit. This speeds press make-ready, increases press run time, and improves overall efficiency. |
|
Automatic Cleaning Systems |
|
|
Keeping the blanket cylinders and ink rollers clean is integral to maintaining printing quality. Shinohara's automatic blanket wash-up system, and automatic ink roller cleaning system completes the cleaning operations at the touch of a button, in under one minute. |
|
Perfecting System: Excellent Color Accuracy |
|
|
The Shinohara perfecting system applies master/sub-gripper system and paper-end guide rollers to ensure precise paper transfer and register. The changeover operation from straight to perfector and vice-versa is easy and monitored by a visible guidance. |
|
7 O'Clock Cylinder Alignment |
|
|
The Shinohara 75 High-Pile series presses use 7 O'clock cylinder alignment (plate, blanket, impression cylinders) prevening the gap shock marking. Developed with the aid of computers, this superior cylinder layout also assures better ink distribution and ink film thickness. |
|
|
Inking System with Optimal Water Balance |
|
|
The optimal roller layout was designed to improve the efficiency of ink distributions. The system achieves an ideal ink transfer and always maintains optimal ink/water balance. Rider roller position can be changed by a touch of the button for small image printing. With an optionally available ink roller temperature control system, it's possible to minimize the changes to the machine environment. |
|
Accurate Delivery Control |
|
|
Shinohara's air blowers and sheet brakes function in an efficient manner, assuring proper paper delivery right down to the last sheet printed. Improved mechanisms including front and side paper jogs assure consistent output. An optional built-in infrared dryer can be applied to reduce time between production processes. |
|
Remote Control Plate Register System |
|
|
Shinohara's patented plate clamp cocking system features a correlative system that enables fine adjustments to be made to plate register without applying undue pressure to the plate. Plate register can be adjusted during printing. The cocking adjustment range is up to 0.6 mm, that makes the system ideal for various types of printing plates. |
|
Next-generation Operation Console |
|
|
Using multiple CPUs, Shinohara has made it possible to control all the different motors in the press simultaneously through the operation console, thus dramatically reducing make-ready time. The operation console also provides bar graphs of ink key apertures besides the touch keys, and features a color PC touch panel. Improved readability prevents errors and enhances the communications between operator and machine. |
|
Large-Format Print Sheet Size |
|
|
With the large-format version (23 inches, or 585x750mm), eight B5 size prints can be achieved on either one side or both sides of the sheet. |
|
(Optional) In-Line Varnish Coating and Drying Systems |
|
|
The 75 Series Multicolor High-Pile presses can be fitted with an optional chamber-type doctor blade aqueous or AQUEOUS/UV in-line varnish coating system that can also be used for spot coating witH A Convex resin plate. The press can also use infrared dryer and cold UV curing system that enables printing onto plastic as well as a wide variety of papers. |

Shinohara produces quality, commercial duty, professional sheetfed offset color printing presses for the printing and graphic arts industry. As of year 2000, the company Shinohara has been in business for over 80 years. Shinohara is located in Japan and has produced many varieties of sheetfed offset printing presses that offer superb print quality, low maintenance, and fast makereadies. Heidelberg printing presses and Komori sheet-fed offset color printing presses have nothing over the Shinohara line of presses.
In the market for a digital offset sheetfed color printing press? Compare Shinohara to Heidelberg digital sheetfed presses and Komori offset color presses. Shinohara offers the simplest most cost effective solution to go from digital prepress to on-press color makeready. Here's the lifecycle in a nutshell: Prepress Production software on say a Macintosh computer, via Network 100 BaseT ethernet LAN, to a CIP3 (committee for prepress, press, and postpress) converter, which can be a Windows NT Shinohara CIP3 Station, to a Shinohara printing control console, to a Shinohara model 52, 66, 74, or 104 color printing press. Now compare this prepress to press to postpress process to that of a Heidelberg. Heidelberg is more complex. It goes from a prepress production software over a Network 100 BaseT ethernet connection to a CPC32 converter, then to a CPC51 converter, then to a printing control console, then to a Heidelberg printing press. Komori's digital prepress to press to postpress process is the msot complex of all. It goes from a prepress production software system over the 100 BaseT ethernet line to a CIP3 converter on a Windows NT or 95 or 98 system, to a Macintosh (!) which writes to a magnetic card writer, then via the magnetic card to a printing control console, finally to the Komori printing press. Whew! complicated digital press lifecycle.
Shinohara's line of color printing presses are CIP3 compliant. CIP3 (committee or cooperation for prepress, press, and postpress) is a growing initiative in the printing and prepress industry over the last couple years to combine the process of press, prepress and postpress and thereby streamline print production. This combination of functions is a giant step forward toward integrating the manufactury of printing materials (read books, pamphlets, leaflets, flyers, catalogs, you name it) by computers. Aka computer integrated manufacturing (CIM). Thus the digital, because computers are digital systems. So you could also say digital integrated manufacturing of printed material. The Fraunhofer Institute for computer Graphics in Western Germany, together with several press makers (including Heidelberg) is responsible for creating CIP3. CIP3's base technology is print production format (PPF), whereby related printing information or data is shared acrosss processes and systems. CIP3 PPF for long.:w
Model 52 II is a two-color sheet-fed offset color printing presses. "52" because it supports 370 x 520 mm sheets. That's 520 or 52x10 mm of wider stock range. The maximum sheet size and printing area of the 52 two-color series have been increased to 370mm x 520 mm (14-9/16" x 20-15/32") and 360mm x 510mm (14-11/64"x20-5/64"). The minimum sheet size in single-sided mode (II) is A6-type postcard -- just 100mm x 148mm (3-15/16" x 5-53/64"), and stocks of thicknesses from 0.04mm to 0.4mm (0.0002" to 0.016") can be run at rates of up to 12,000 IPH. This wide range of paper sizes and thicknesses for the 52II and 52IIP sheetfed press means greater throughput and increased business opportunities for printing companies and printing subdepartments. The "P" in 52IIP stands for reverse out or duplex or double-side or two-side printing of the offset press.
Standard features of the Shinohara model 52 II and IIP two-color printing presses include preloading feeder pile, mechanical double-sheet detector, electronic double-sheet detector, feeder timing microadjustment, skewed-sheet detector, overrun sheet detector, remote ink fountain roller sweep adjustment, split ink fountain blade, continuous dampening system, remote dampening roller speed control, dampening solution refrigeration and circulation device, automatic alcohol supply system, operator-side impression adjustment dial, sheet decurler, delivery static eliminator, spray powder device, faulty delivered sheet detector, ani-marking system (star wheel), and POD touchscreen.
Optional features include side guide detector, anti-static blower on feeder head, integrated brush and wheel adjustment, dampening fountain solution mixing device, ceramic dampening fountain roller, ghosting reduction form rollers, hickey picker blade, Shinohara semi-automatic plate changer (SPC), plate cylinder cocking system, quick plate clamp system, register pin system, automatic blanker washup system, anti-marking system on the no. 2 impression cylinder of the 52IIP, non-stop delivery, radial perforating device, tab inserter, anti-marking system (super blue or ICP), swing-away unit (imprinting and numbering).
In printing, everything begins with precision. Sturdy components, advanced manufacturing, and a unique foundry have given Shinohara sheetfed model 52 offset color printing presses a reputation for extraordinary precision. Heidelberg or Komori printing presses have nothing over the 52 two-color press.
Today, runs are shorter, changeover more frequent, and customers more demanding. In response, Shinohara 52 2-color series' high level of automation helps to increase printing press cycle time, reduce offset workload, and boost color printing productivity.
The Shinohara 52II (2 color single-sided) and 52 IIP (2 color duplex, or double-sided, or reverse out, or perfector) accept large sheets, and are loaded with optional features (see above), allowing print shops, printing departments, at for instance colleges or univerisities, or commercial shops, a wider range of services for your sheet-fed demanding customers. Expand printing and imprinting business to include color postcards, numbering, imprinting, and much more.
