For more than two years, Durst has conducted research on new aqueous inks. The result is the new machine category Rho WT 250 HS which accesses the sustainability potential for rigid and flexible large-format media. It will be presented at the coming FESPA 2015 to be staged from May 12-18 in Cologne. Durst Water Technology is one of the major highlights and a long-term strategy to provide an eco-friendly alternative to UV-curing inks. The soft signage segment also benefits from Durst Water Technology and the ecological solutions it generates: The Rhotex HS prints on textile advertising and information media with non-toxic migration and odour free dispersion inks, while the new transfer printer Rhotex 180 TR uses aqueous dye-sublimation inks.
In addition to soft signage printer systems, Durst will also provide information on further developments of the Kappa 320 for the industrial production of home textiles and interior furnishings. Durst will also present the successful Rho 1312 flatbed printing system in the Rho 1312 AF version with a redesigned feeder, for flexible production and fast media change with presets in the media channels. The new Rho 250 HS WT combines offset quality with sustainability.
