Durst presents Tau 330 with Omet modules at Labelexpo Americas 2016

A near-line primer station provides increased material flexibility and cost-saving potential and its flexible post-press finishing options complete the near-line label production needs.

Also on show for the first time in the US is a new budget-priced single pass Tau 330 E UV inkjet label press featuring high pigmented UV inks for reduced ink consumption. This has been designed with the small- and medium-sized label converters in mind. Tau 330 E is a UV inkjet label press featuring print widths of 200mm or 330mm, with four or five colors and a printing speed of up to 48 linear meters a minute (157ft/min) at a printing resolution of up to 1260 DPI. The system has been engineered with particular attention to equipment cost while maintaining the proven speed and printing quality of the flagship Tau 330 printing press. Its newly designed high pigment UV inkjet inks provide a noticeable cost reduction, thus resulting in a system with an unmatched Total Cost of Ownership for the print provider.

Together with the Tau 330 platforms, Durst introduces its completely new Durst Workflow-Label, a modular, expandable pre-press software for order entry, pre-press, RIP, color management, ink costing and production data management. It offers an optimized workflow with key functionality such as automated knock-out of non-print areas resulting in lower ink consumption, high access browser based interface for immediate job costing and easy to use high speed variable data functionality.
