Utah-based Sun Print Solutions has expanded its production capabilities with the installation of a new Komori Lithrone GL840P+C advance LED-UV perfecting press. This strategic investment reinforces Sun Print Solutions’ commitment to cutting-edge print technology, faster turnaround times, and superior color consistency — a key advantage for their growing folding carton and direct mail business.
Founded in 1941, Sun Print Solutions has grown from a traditional lithographic printer into a dynamic, multi-service provider offering offset, digital, and direct mail solutions. Over the decades, the company has expanded its capabilities through the strategic acquisition of several regional Utah businesses specializing in direct mail, books and digital printing. Today, under the visionary leadership of CEO Jennifer Pettinger and CFO Sara Deneau — who acquired the company in 2019 — Sun Print Solutions is a 100% woman-owned business that has doubled its revenue in just six years.
Like many commercial print companies in the industry, expanding their packaging footprint was a major goal. With increasing demand for high-quality packaging and faster production speeds, Sun Print Solutions saw Komori’s Convertible Perfector with LED-UV Curing technology as a natural fit. “We’ve been in the LED-UV space for years, and we know the value it brings in faster drying times and superior print durability,” said Sara Deneau, CFO, Sun Print Solutions. “We needed a press that could help us get jobs out faster while maintaining the exceptional color quality our customers expect. The Komori GL840P advance does exactly that.”
The eight-color press with coater and LED-UV curing enables immediate post-press processing, reducing turnaround times and increasing efficiency. The convertible perfector design can print commercial work on common commercial grades in perfecting mode, then switch instantly to an eight-unit straight press for 24pt board work with a short makeready. This investment aligns with Sun Print Solutions’ goal of providing shorter lead times and higher-value print solutions to their diverse customer base.
Sun Print Solutions continues to evolve, with a strong focus on packaging, direct mail, and commercial printing. Their new Komori GL840P advance plays a pivotal role in their long-term growth strategy, ensuring they remain at the forefront of the industry with a press that has a low cost of ownership.
“Our mission is to help brands stand out—whether it’s through custom folding cartons, direct mail campaigns, or high-quality commercial print,” said Jennifer Pettinger, CEO. “With this new press, we’re more equipped than ever to deliver high-impact print solutions that resonate with customers.”
