Durst’s Fespa presence in Amsterdam next month will include its first joint appearance with Vanguard Digital Printing Systems, which it acquired a majority stake in last year.

Making its debut on the manufacturer’s stand at the show, which is taking place from 12 to 15 October at the RAI exhibition centre, will be the new VR6D flatbed printer.

This machine is targeted at mid-range performance, features “an attractive price/performance ratio”, and can be configured for different applications due to its modular design.

Two more recently launched Durst machines will also be “unveiled to the broad public for the first time” at Fespa, under the company’s slogan ‘From Pixel to Output’.

These include the P5 350 HS, the high-speed version of the hybrid P5 350 printer. Covering a substrate width of 3.5m, the P5 350 HS can reach a maximum speed of 700sqm/hr.

Also on show will be the P5 TEX iSUB soft signage printer, which incorporates an integrated inline fixation system for direct printing on polyester fabrics to enable a single-stage printing process that is said to lead to greater efficiency and a significant increase in productivity.

Transfer papers can also be printed and further processed with the P5 TEX iSUB.

“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,” said Durst Group CEO and co-owner Christoph Gamper.
