Durst Rho 800 Presto wins two major industry awards
Monday 02. June 2008 - Durst is proud to announce that the Rho 800 Presto has won two major independent accolades, one in the US, the other in Europe.
WFI Top Product 2008
It has been voted “Top Flatbed Printer” for 2008 by readers of Wide-Format Imaging magazine, an influential commercial imaging trade magazine in the United States.
Wide-Format Imaging has a circulation of more than 17,500, enjoys a reputation as a keen observer of the commercial imaging industry. Among its readers are the owners and operators of the top imaging shops in North America. Asked to vote for the best flatbed printer available – a “breakthrough” platform that vastly improves the imaging process and would be an invaluable asset to their operations – the readers of the magazine selected the Rho 800 Presto.
EDP “Best products of the year 2008” Award
The European Digital Press Association (EDP) has awarded the Rho 800 Presto the EDP “Best product of the year 2008” in the category “Flatbed Printers High Production”.
EDP is an European association for the burgeoning digital print industry. It was established by seven of Europes leading digital print magazines in October 2006 that between them and the recently incorporated publications represent a readership of 120.000.
The awards are issued by a technical committee made up of independent consultants, editors, engineers and other related professionals, who evaluate products launched during the previous 12 months.
Evaluation is based on efficiency, performance, quality/price ratio, design, and ease of use amongst other considerations.
