Durst Image Technology will introduce Rhotex 320, the company’s new ‘industrial’ inkjet printer for the soft signage markets that garnered a lot of positive attention in an upcoming international expo. It’s making its North American debut at the SGIA Expo in Las Vegas. Developed to address the growing popularity of lighter-weight, easier-to-install, higher-margin, reusable and ‘green’ media options, the 10.5-foot-wide Rhotex 320 utilizes environmentally benign water-based dye inks and on-board hot-air dryers on an advanced printing platform with Quadro Array 30D AQ print heads (designed specifically for Rhotex 320 water-based inks) to deliver POP-quality output at up to 775 sqft/hr.
Also in the Durst booth will be the five-meter Rho 500R Superwide Roll-to-Roll UV Inkjet Printer, chosen as the 2009 Digital Printing & Imaging Association’s “Product of the Year” in the grand-format roll-to-roll UV-cured ink printer category, and the Rho 900 Large-Format UV Inkjet Printer—a 98-inch-wide printing platform that combines highly efficient automated media handling, process color additions.
