LFP - Large-Format-Printing

Durst launches two new UV inkjet printers to its flagship Rho 1000 Series at ISA.

Monday 08. April 2013 - At the 2013 International Sign Association Show in Las Vegas (ISA), Durst Phototechnik unveiled the new Rho 1012 and 1030 printers. The Rho 1000 has proven itself as the most productive wide format UV inkjet printer offered on the market, and the 1012 and 1030 further enhance it's market leading position.

The Rho 1012 is the first 12 picolitre flatbed printer in its class made possible by Durst’s latest Quadro Array printheads. The very small drop size provides unrivalled 1000 DPI print quality whilst maintaining exceptional productivity of up to 490 m² per hour. The Rho 1012 offers users the ability to meet the quality and volume requirements normally reserved for offset printing but with the media flexibility only possible with digital inkjet printing.
The Rho 1030 is the fastest fully automated flatbed printer available. It is capable of production speeds of up to 1000 m² per hour without compromising the quality of print. This printing speed and full automation with auto loading and unloading tables makes it ideally suited to incorporation into an industrial production line. Also available are both roll to roll and roll to sheet print options to further enhance the machines’ media flexibility.
Existing Rho 1000 users will be able to upgrade their existing machines to either the Rho 1012 or the Rho 1030 in the field, further maintaining Durst commitment to providing customers with long term solutions to their printing needs.
“The introduction of the 1012 and 1030 is a natural fit for what we have been hearing from the market”, said Michael Lackner, Marketing Manager of Durst, “the Rho 1000 is a proven high volume wide format digital printer and the capabilities of the two new printers, along with the automation solutions, make this a very strong solution for many of our print partners.”
