Durst has launched its latest P5 at Fespa in Munich, along with its own software suite, available through web browsers, which will come included with all new printer sales from today.
Durst Workflow, Durst Analytics and Durst Smart Shop will be taught to print shops by the company, which will be offering the consulting, training and integration services of Durst Professional Services.
With the Smart Shop solution, print buyers to design their own pieces, which are modelled in 2D and 3D, and are then sent through straight to Durst devices for printing after purchase.
Even older Durst devices will be given a roll out of the new software, explained CEO Christophe Gamber to Australian Printer at the show.
He says, “From this point forward, even the older machines will have access to the software, with the rollout to take place in a certain order.
“I am excited that as a printer manufacturer, we have been able to go beyond the printing engine onto greater platforms.”
Durst also expanded its P5 range with two new hybrid solutions, the P5 350 (print width up to 3.5 m) and P5 210 (print width up to 2.1 m). The new printing systems can print on both roll media and boards, and with the multiroll option for the P5 350/210, users can even load rolls during printing to reduce setup times and increase efficiency. The printing systems are equipped with energy-efficient LED technology and are supplied with integrated Durst Workflow Print software and the monitoring tool Durst Analytics. Both offer the highest print quality of up to 1200 dpi, multi-track options for up to six parallel boards, automatic media width and thickness detection, foldable and smooth-running roller tables and a secure ink refill system. Both printing systems can be equipped with peripheral systems for ¾ automation or full automation.
All P5 printing systems are equipped with the new production software solution Durst Workflow Print and the monitoring tool Durst Analytics. This makes the printer into a production unit from day one. Durst also offers a scalable solution for integrating e-commerce with the Durst Smart Shop. All Durst software can be modularly extended and managed via a web-based user interface.
