Durst expands portfolio with new Rho 512R and Rhotex 322 printers

Durst has debuted five-meter Rho 512R UV roll-fed printer and Rhotex 322 UV soft-signage printer during the recent SGIA 2013. Both printers are equipped with the company’s new 12-picolitre Quadro Array printheads and its Variodrop printing technology, which controls drop-size modulation by “multipulsing” – delivering two voltage pulses, with the second pulse pumping a precise amount of ink into the droplet before it detaches from the head’s nozzle plates.

Rho 512R has a max. print width of 16.4 ft and can handle a wide range of media (coated and uncoated). It offers a top speed of 3767 sq ft/hr. CMYK is standard; light cyan and magenta, white, and process colour addition inks (orange, violet) are optional. The 512R can simultaneously print three 1.6m rolls side by side. A textile printing for printing on mesh without a liner is available. And Rhotex 322 soft-signage industrial inkjet printer utilizes Rhotex water-based, VOC-free dispersed dye inks to output onto a variety of textiles.
