Targeted at small and medium converters in the mid-tier market, the new model will be field upgradable to the full Durst Tau RSC high-speed press at full eight colours and 78 linear metres/min.
In line with Durst’s ‘Configure Your Digital Future’ theme, the press is available in 330mm and 244mm print widths, offering four colours or four colours and white option in full-speed mode. The Tau RSC E benefits from Durst’s state-of-the-art RSC technology. Its native resolution of 1200 x 1200dpi, combined with its smallest drop size of 2pL, provides photo-like quality.
Production capabity of 1020sqm/hour is achievable with a printing speed of 52m/min at full colour including white. High pigmented inks reduce ink consumption by up to 20% per sqm, optimising running costs to the lowest possible level.
All options from the Tau 330 RSC can be fitted to the new model, which include the chill roller, variable data printing or the external jumbo winders. The new machine can have up to eight colour stations (CMYK-W-OVG). Fast, efficient, powerful and easy-to-use preppress Durst Workflow Label software is also offered.
Helmuth Munter, segment manager, Durst label and packaging printing said, ‘During the development of the Dust Tau 330 RSC E, a special focus was dedicated to the upgradeability and flexibility of the press. This is an important addition to the Durst Tau RSC family of variable, versatile, adjustable and configurable machine systems. Affordable digital label printing is now available to increasing numbers of converters and printers. We’re incredibly excited at the new opportunities that the new press model will open up for increasing the numbers of converters. Digital UV Inkjet label printing is definitely here.’
