This new driver expands Caldera’s long list of supported peripherals for grand-format production.

Discover The Durst P5-500

Launched at FESPA 2022 last May, Durst’s new grand-format printing press has a printing width of 5.2 meters, making it suitable for a wide range of roll-to-roll applications in industrial printing environments.

The P5-500 is designed to run 24/7 for maximum productivity. Equipped with Ricoh GEN5 printheads, this new model in the P5 series operates with the traditional four channels of ink for four-color printing, but can also be equipped with up to four additional channels to use light colors, white and varnish.
