Auckland-based printer Torque Digital Print has purchased a second Durst P5 350 HS at drupa.

“We purchased our first Durst last year and that’s been going really well for us, so we were keen to have a dual platform of Durst machines,” said Angela Nauck, general manager of Torque Digital Print.

The P5 350 is the hybrid solution for roll and board printing up to 3.5 m and reaches in the high speed version a productivity up to 708 sqm/h (7,620 sq.ft/h).

“Our company’s been on a great growth trajectory so we will be taking some of our older machines and replacing them with the Durst,” Nauck said.

“It’s a new relationship for us with Durst, but we have been really well looked after and well hosted the past few days.

“It was fantastic to go to Brixen earlier this week and see the site and meet the team, and now having Graham [Blackall] on the ground for Durst in New Zealand is also great for us.”

Matt Ashman, managing director of Durst Oceania said Durst is thrilled to have Torque choose Durst as its exclusive wide format provider.

“Torque is a real tour de force in the New Zealand print industry and the business has evolved tremendously since installing their first Durst hence their need to invest in a second.

“The P5 350 HS but it will enable them to have higher volumes and be able to use both machines to fulfill their jobs.

“The machine is expected to arrive in Q3 this year and we look forward to installing the machine at Torque and sharing the installation story when it arrives.”
