With Pictocer, a flatbed ceramics printer, and the Rho 162 TS, an entry-level model for road-sign printing, Durst continues to register a high rate of innovation and offer its customers profitable opportunities in niche markets.

Rho 162 TS

In Lienz the new Durst research center for inkjet technology is equipped with an ultra-modern chemical-physical laboratory whose scientific staff, most of whom worked for university research institutions, is also specialized in inkjet applications for the energy, life sciences and health sectors and in security coding for brands.
Know-how in ink technology and in inkjet printing with piezoelectrical printheads – which since 1998 has produced a range of inkjet printers for various application fields in the manufacturing sector – plus scientific research conditions creates the ideal premises for innovative solutions.

The Angle Awards are published annually by Image Reports Magazine. They are the top ten products launched throughout the year which the editor and her team consider: “The most innovative and likely to make an impact in the wide format sector.”

The Rho 1000 was launched at FESPA Digital as the flagship product in the Rho range of large format UV inkjet printers. It is a continuous UV flatbed printer that is capable of being integrated into existing manufacturing processes. It boasts a maximum output of up to 600 boards per hour (125 x 80 cm/4 x 2.6ft.), without interruption, around the clock, whilst ensuring optimum quality.
The exceptional productivity and output quality are achieved by the further development of Durst’s own Quadro Array printhead technology, together with its highly efficient workflow configuration, which can integrate into existing manufacturing processes (screen and offset printing).
In addition to continuous board printing, the Rho 1000 will print on sheets, heavy boards and roll media up to 250cm wide and 40mm thick, and can be loaded and unloaded using screen printing methods and systems. There are a range of ink options, as with all Durst inkjets, including the addition of light colours (light magenta and light cyan), spot colours, white and selective varnish.
