BRIXEN, ItalyDurst‘s UV inkjet single pass printing technology will be demonstrated by the company’s new Tau 330 RSC at Labelexpo Americas 2018, Chicago, Sept. 25-27, at booth 5901.

Among the highlights of the system is its high printing resolution, printing speed and 8 color printing stations.

The Durst Tau 330 RSC is a UV inkjet label and package printing press featuring 13-in print width combined with leading edge print speed of up to 245-ft per minute at a resolution of 1200 x 1200 dpi. It runs at 1.485 square meters per hour, and features 8 color stations (CMYK+W+OVG) with new designed high pigmented inks and close to 95 percent Pantone color gamut coverage.

The Tau 330 RSC is available as stand-alone version or can be configured as “digital-flexo hybrid press” with OMET’s Xflex series of conventional finishing options. The result is unlimited material flexibility for a vast range of applications.

Its configuration options include jumbo unwinder and material pre-treatment options like inline corona, web cleaner, priming as well as post press finishing options like varnishing, cold foil, lamination, die cutting, slitting and rewinding.

Live demonstrations by the Tau 330 RSC will highlight the range of applications possible. Also on live demonstration will be the Durst-powered OMET XJet. Both systems will be distributed by OMET US in North America.

Helmuth Munter, global segment manager for labels & package printing at Durst Group, said: “The Durst Tau 330 RSC has already achieved over 10 successful installations in Europe. Our customers have been very impressed by its print quality, production speed as well as its low variable and total cost of ownership. It is a game-changer and is challenging conventional print technologies that will allow it to become the mainstream technology of label printing in the near future.”

He added: “Small, medium and now long runs are highly profitable with our digital systems. Thanks to a cost-effective total cost of ownership we provide, the options are virtually unlimited and open up an enormous potential for new products and services in an ever-changing market.”
