Shaw PPC Design purchases Durst P5 350

Shaw PPC Design was founded in 1932 as a manufacturer of POP signs and currently provides signage and print products for retailers, all in-house. Shaw PPC Design needed to upgrade its current printers and decided to continue its partnership with Durst. The company purchased the Durst P5 350 to improve print quality and increase efficiency; this is the company’s fourth Durst printer.

The Durst P5 350 is a hybrid large format UV LED inkjet press that prints both rigid and roll materials up to 138” (3.5 meters) wide with 1200 dpi output.

‘We wanted the ability to do higher resolution graphics at much faster speeds,’ said Tom Smith, president of Shaw PPC Design/Shaw & Slavsky. ‘The printing speed of the P5 350 will help with our production and workflow to deliver on shorter deadlines all with exceptional quality output.’ 

According to the company, the P5 350 delivers functionality and versatility with rigid substrates that includes independent board feeding sensors, automatic media thickness detection and dual-track printing capabilities. The P5 350 also has expanded roll capabilities with controlled double-sided printing, allowing for fast media changes. The P5 350 is equipped with Durst Print Workflow software and exclusive Durst Analytics.

‘Shaw PPC Design brings a commitment to customers that extends beyond the printed product. We are honored to be an integral part of their production process, and we look forward to a continuing relationship built on innovation and shared goals,’ said Larry D’Amico, Durst sales director, North America.
