Durst Rho 700 wins Gold Award at Taropac 2008

Tuesday 14. October 2008 - Durst is proud to announce that the Rho 700, with corrugated printing option, won a prestigious Gold Medal at the Taropac Exhibition in Poznan, Poland. Taropac is the largest trade show for the packaging and logistics market in Central and Eastern Europe and the Rho 700 is the only product to have won the medal in connection with printing.

This years’ Taropac attracted over 800 exhibitors from 31 countries and 35% of all the visitors where from overseas. Also, there was a record number of new products and services (250) presented at this years’ show.
The Gold Medal of the Poznan International Fair was launched in 1979 and was modelled on other renowned foreign trade fairs and exhibitions. The products are judged under a number of criteria including quality and innovation and several hundred entries are received.
The Rho 700 UV flatbed printers’ modular build concept is already unique in its class: no other UV flatbed printers can be adapted to individual needs or be upgraded later in the field to the same extent. And particularly relevant to the Taropac Exhibition is the recent addition of a corrugated print option.
This option enables the direct printing of corrugated boards suitable for use as high quality displays and sample packaging.
In addition to corrugated printing, other optional features available on the Rho 700 include the choice of ink variety; white and special effect varnish, also light colours for finer image quality. There are specific inks for rigid, flexible or absorbing media, ensuring the most cost efficient ink choice. Productivity is maximised by the use of mechanical front stops which enable parallel printing of boards side by side. Furthermore, overall speed can be increased by doubling the number of printheads.
The Durst Rho 700 is yet another award winning product in the Rho range of printers and offers exceptional productivity and superb image quality. Its outstanding performance and reliability is the result of the high level of precision of key components developed and produced by Durst.
