Since 2006 there has been a boom in the magazine publishing industrywhich has led to many commercial printers buying new heatset presses. This has happened mostly in South India with new Komoris coming to Kala Jyothi in Hyderabad and several to Rajhans in Bangalore. Additional newheatsets have come to Thomson (Goss 600D) and Print House (Komori) in Mumbai and to Manipal Power Press (Komori) in Manipal.
