Mr Helmuth Escher and his team at Escher Digitaldruck of Augsburg have been serving their customers with high quality products for 14 years.
Not only quality of the printed product, but also consultancy, service and the entire ordering process for their products.
To always maintain high quality, the printers must perform accordingly.
With excellent results from their being an original field test customer for the Durst Group's P5 500, they were so impressed, that they have now installed a second machine.
The team is enthusiastic about the new printhead technology, the mesh kit, which remains in the printer automatically, and the numerous other advantages that the P5 500 brings.
The Pinnacle Level In Wide Format Printing
The Durst P5 500 is the most efficient 5-meter large format printer with LED curing technology for unattended production.
With a printing width of 5.2 m, it is suitable for many roll-to-roll applications.
An integrated roll support greatly simplifies media loading and changing.
Rolls can be processed in single, dual and triple mode - in dual mode even asymmetrically.
The P5 500 uses arrays of Ricoh Gen5 printheads (indeed this is the major difference over the outgoing 5m Rho 512R model), with 7-picolitre drops, giving a resolution range of 700x1,200dpi to 900x1,200dpi.
There are eight ink channels, which can be configured as dual CMYK for speed, or CMYK plus combinations of light CMK, white and clear varnish.
If white is required it can be configured as underprint or overprint, or both, in combination with other colours and varnish.
There’s a choice of inks to give different hardness/flexibility characteristics after curing.
The curing lamps are UV-LED, for long life and low heat transmission, so thinner plastics can be used to keep costs down.
