Durst Group presents an integrated production approach at FESPA 2026: machines, inks, software and data layer developed as one system and engineered in Europe – built on more than 90 years of industrial printing and production expertise. From entry into the Durst ecosystem to industrial high-speed production and connected software environments, the focus is on performance, scalability and long-term integration. “In Barcelona, we are not showing printers. We are showing production systems,” said Christoph Gamper, CEO and co-owner of Durst Group. “The P5 350 CORE is the entry point into the Durst ecosystem – future-proof from day one. The Kyveris Sandbox offers the first public glimpse of industrial intelligence built on real production data, not presentation slides. One opens the door. The other sets the course.”
Developed as a “best-of-breed” configuration, CORE combines proven technologies and features from across the P5 portfolio into one integrated platform. It reflects the XT (Extended Technology) concept: continuous development, performance optimisation and upgradeability across the installed base. The system incorporates the latest software architecture, enabling future performance updates and extended application capabilities. At the same time, features such as the high performance vacuum belt expand material flexibility, while the new machine design improves operator handling and reduces setup effort.
P5 350 CORE is designed as a future-ready system – Kyveris-ready from day one and built to evolve with customer requirements. Built on the proven P5 platform, CORE benefits from a global installed base with high system availability and established service infrastructure, including remote support capabilities and centralised spare parts logistics. Energy consumption is measured in accordance with ISO 20690. The base configuration has an average ink consumption of 6.00 ml/m2, with up to 30% additional savings through workflow optimisation. Durst supports long system lifecycles through upgrade paths and retrofit concepts, enabling customers to protect their investment while continuously improving performance.
Building on this system approach, Durst demonstrates a complete sublimation workflow, combining the P5 500 Tex iSub with a 5 meter Hasler cutter. The system operates as a continuous production line – from RIP to finished cut – with one workflow, one operator interface and one data stream. This removes process boundaries between printing, fixation and finishing and enables consistent, repeatable production conditions. By combining intelligent software with advanced ink control, savings of up to 30% can be realised. Together with True Shape Nesting, this drives higher production efficiency and improved shift-level economics.
