New aqueous inks and printer systems for more sustainable applications as well as new developments for larger media flexibility and automated job changes
Durst, the industrial inkjet specialist presents its latest developments for the large-format segment at the FESPA 2015 in Cologne from May 18. – 22. A key issue of this year’s trade fair presence is Durst Water Technology – a long-term strategy to provide an eco-friendly alternative to UV-curing inks. For more than two years, Durst has conducted research on the new aqueous inks. The result, is the new machine category Rho WT 250 HS which accesses the sustainability potential for rigid and flexible large-format media. It will be presented at this year’s FESPA. The soft signage segment also benefits from Durst Water Technology and the ecological solutions it generates: The Rhotex HS prints on textile advertising- and information media with non-toxic migration- and odor free dispersion inks, while the new transfer printer Rhotex 180 TR uses aqueous dye-sublimation inks. In addition to soft signage printer systems, Durst will also provide information on further developments of the Kappa 320 for the industrial production of home textiles and interior furnishings. Durst will also present the successful Rho 1312 flatbed printing system in the Rho 1312 AF version with a redesigned feeder, for flexible production and fast media change with presets in the media channels.
