Durst Group Presents End-to-End Digital Printing Solutions at FESPA 2021

Durst Group will present a wide range of end-to-end solutions for digital printing applications at FESPA 2021 in Amsterdam, Oct. 12-15, under its slogan “From Pixel to Output.”

“After such a long time, we are pleased to present our solutions to an international audience and to communicate the benefits of our ‘From Pixel to Output’ approach to the large format printing market” says Christoph Gamper, CEO and co-owner of Durst Group.

In recent years, Durst Group has built its own ecosystem, ranging from large-format printers with software and hardware to e-commerce portals and finishing modules, offering customers end-to-end solutions including training, support and maintenance.

“Our modular software suite helps our customers to optimize their processes and ultimately increase their competitiveness,” added Gamper. “The market is responding very positively to this approach, which is also reflected in the installation numbers in the large format segment.”

With the P5 – Production Excellence, Durst Group launched a solid technology platform in 2018 that scores with its outstanding versatility and efficiency. In the meantime, more than 100 systems of the P5 350 series alone have been installed worldwide in a wide variety of application areas. P5 350 is a hybrid solution for both roll-to-roll and flatbed printing and covers a substrate width of 3.5 meters.

The soft signage market has been recording constant growth rates for years, and in all aspects. With the introduction of the P5 TEX iSUB, the Durst Group is once again setting the technology standard. At its heart is an integrated inline fixation system for direct printing on polyester fabrics, which enables a single-stage printing process and leads to greater efficiency and a significant increase in productivity.

The P5 Sublifix sublimation ink delivers vibrant colors, sharp images even on difficult media such as blackback or backlit for light boxes or flags. In addition to the CMYK inks, light versions of cyan, magenta and black are available to expand the color gamut.

In 2020, Durst added to its portfolio by acquiring a majority stake in Vanguard Digital Printing Systems. FESPA 2021 marks the first joint appearance of the two companies. The new VR6D flatbed printer will make its debut in Amsterdam and covers the mid-range performance spectrum. It features an attractive price/performance ratio and can be configured for different applications thanks to its modular design.

“We are pleased to also be able to demonstrate the potential of the solutions to European visitors at FESPA and are convinced that Vanguard will successfully establish itself in the European market,” Gamper added.
