Australian success story Easy Signs has sealed the deal on two Durst P5 210 HS printers at the FESPA Global Print Expo in Berlin.

The 2.1 metre wide presses have been purchased as dedicated flatbed printers, but can also come in a hybrid flatbed and roll-to-roll setup.

Easy Signs co-founder Andy Fryer flew in from America, where is setting up a new division of the company, to complete the deal with his business partner Adam Parnell.

Fryer said he was looking for more speed to build into his business so he can better meet customer demands as the key reason for the purchase.

“We have been looking for something that would give us greater throughput and these can produce 90 boards an hour,” Fryer told Sprinter.

“We are now producing 24 hours a day and are really stepping up production.”

The P5 210 HS is a hybrid press for both rigid substrates and rolls but Easy Signs has opted for a true flatbed version as this best meets their needs.

Durst Oceania sales manager, Ashley Playford-Browne handled the sale and was on hand at the Durst stand in Berlin to finalise the arrangements.

About the P5 210:

The P5 210 is the hybrid solution for roll and board printing up to 2.1m and reaches in the High Speed version a productivity up to 500 sqm/h (5,400 sq.ft/h). Fast media change, easy maintenance handling and full safety render the printing process a way more efficient.
