The Rho 312R is the most productive 3.2 m roll to roll printer in its class. It also offers a new quality standard for industrial backlit or “fine art printing”. The Rho 312R features Durst’s Quadro Array 12M printheads with Variodrop technology and the12 picolitre drop size enables excellent image quality with up to 900 dpi, whilst the Variodrop technology is responsible for the printer’s high productivity. It is capable of printing up to 240 sqm/hour in high speed mode and up to 122 sqm/h in POP mode. Productivity is further enhanced by the option of being able to print two 1.6 m rolls of media at the same time with individual print queues.

  

With print system of over 24,000 nozzles, there is no compromise between productivity and speed, whilst the high pigmentation reduces ink consumption and therefore provides a low cost per m² and a very competitive ROI. The Variodrop technology enhances the greyscale technology by increasing productivity and improved image quality, also eliminating the inherent problems that can occur with greyscale printing.

  

Other features include 6 colour printing and different ink options, unattended printing with large rolls, options of reverse side printing and integrated border cutting. Durst roll ink is environmentally friendly.

The inks are completely VOC free and accredited with the stringent Nordic Swan environmental certification.

  

For digital or offset printers who wish to enter new large format markets or enhance their existing portfolio, the Rho 312R is the most flexible and productive printer available. It will provide the ideal solution for anything from high quality backlits and “fine art” prints to POP, banners, and even wallpaper and façade decoration, profitably.

The Rho P10 200/250 HS feature Durst’s Quadro Array 10M printheads with double the number nozzles in comparison to the Rho P10 200/250. They also have LED Pin curing in combination with conventional UV drying. The Pin curing helps to make the faster speed possible by sealing the drops of inks, keeping the quality perfect, whilst the UV curing finalises the drying process.

  

The Rho P10 Series set a new quality standard for industrial level inkjet printing when it was launched two years ago. That same quality, with a resolution of up to 1000 dpi, is now available from a printer that is capable of printing up to 400 sqm.

  

As with all the latest Durst Inkjet printers, the new Rho P10 HS Series are the most productive printers in their class. A true hybrid, they will print on both rigid and roll media equally fast and the media change from one to the other is both quick and simple. They also provide unrivalled versatility thanks to their ability to print on the widest range of media including foam board, metal, acrylics and PVC and roll media such as clear film and other backlit material, textiles and vinyls.

   

The stunning “fine art” print quality of both the existing and new P10 printers provides a level of quality that will allow for close up viewing of a wide range of advertising and corporate promotional material. The very fine tones and the option of additional light colours (light cyan and light magenta) offer perfect colour reproduction. Typically, they are ideal for indoor and outdoor signage, POP material, small to medium sized packaging and backlit luxury goods.  

The new Rho P10 HS can also boast Durst’s Variodrop technology. Not only does this help with the increased productivity but also provides improved image quality, particularly at the highest production speeds.

Solid areas of colour are smoother whilst offering bright vibrant colours.

Durst Phototechnik AG, manufacturer of the first and most popular Large Format Digital Photo Printer with no size limitations, the Durst Lambda 130, is announcing deliveries of the 32" Lambda 76 to start by the end of 1997.

The Medium Format Digital Laser Imager Durst Lambda 76 exposes digital image and text data via laser directly onto photographic silver halide materials (color negative papers, color reversal papers and blacklit materials, etc.).It features a patented continuous roll to roll exposure with an automatic paper take-up device. The prints generated with the Durst Lambda 76 feature unsurpassed photographic quality.

The Lambda 76 is the perfect device for portrait and people as well as commercial photo labs for doing high volume of small and medium print sizes. The 81.2 cm/32" paper width makes the Lambda 76 ideal for printing pop-up displays with no print length limitations.

Durst Lambda 76: Key Features 

Direct to photographic media

- Straight from a digital file, the Durst Lambda can print any creation directly onto photographic media (reflective -> paper / backlit -> transparent or opaque film)

- It combines the advantages of classical silver halide photography with the potential of the latest laser and digital technology, without an intermediate film stage - and without the compromises of CMYK output.

- Because the receiving media is photgraphic paper, the color space is RGB, the same as any designer`s monitor.

- The photographic media is still the best when it comes to reproduce images combined with text and logos. It can reproduce the finest details, as it does not require any form of screening / dittering.

Total flexibility

No size limitations thanks to the unique, patented flatbed continuous roll to roll laser exposing system (for paper widths from 20.3 cm/8" to 81.2 cm /32"), from "icons" to large murals. (with auto- and custom paneling functions). One seamless print can be as long as one entire 81.2 cm/32" roll (50 m / 160ft))

High Image and Text Quality

Dual resolution of 200 and 400 ppi for superior image sharpness of small print sizes. The Lambda 76 features high color saturation and color fidelty, better image quality, more details and sharper type than other alternatives.

High Output Speed

Exposes all medias at a linear speed of 12"/min. Compared with other digital systems the Lambda is "remarkably faster" and can produce up to 270 prints 20x25 cm / 8x10" an hour.

High Productivity 

- Same as the Lambda 130 and unlike other large format digital photo printers, the Lambda 76 features a simultaneous exposure and paper transport, exposing a print size of 80 x 260 cm / 32 x 100" ready to process in less than 10 minutes.

- DEC-Alpha workstation with 64-Bit Digital UNIX Operating System for on-the-fly image processing and short ripping times (Cheetah-RIP by DICE America: 100 MB in approx. 1 Minute).

- Small prints are automatically printed side by side for fast multiple printing and optimal use of large paper widhts.

Open System: Exposes image and text files from major systems and application programs (PC,Mac and Workstations).

Supported File Formats:

     - RGB and Grayscale - TIFF /TIFF/LZW

     - RGB and Grayscale - JPEG

   - PostScript Level 2 (PS, inculding images in CMYK, RGB, EPS, JPEG, Grayscale etc.). with automatic conversion of CMYK to RGB during the ripping process.

The marketplace expects the highest in quality and short turn-around times. The Lambda 76 is the ultimate production machine and "work horse" providing high quality prints with neutral grays matching exactly from edge to edge, with text and edge sharpness far surpassing the ability of any enlarger, even if the original is from a high resolution film recorder. Panel color and consistency is unmatched.

Becasue of the high image quality and productivity and the total size flexibility, the Durst Lambda 76 will allow the commercial and portrait/people labs to increase their productivity with shorter turn-around times and less paper waste.

The Durst Lambda 76 is sold as a complete working system, including the imager, DEC- Alpha workstation with Lambda software, integrated Cheetah-RIP by Dice America, X-Rite densitometer, etc.
