Today’s label converters need to adapt to the quickly changing demands of their customers. Faster turnaround times, the ability to convert short/medium/long run jobs from traditional analog print methods, and environmentally friendly output are a must, all while maintaining high quality products in the most cost-effective way.
Durst, a renowned global leader in the development of inkjet systems, has always reacted quickly to market needs and requirements, delivering innovative solutions for the everchanging marketplace. For the label segment, Durst created the Tau RSC platform with multiple options for the diversity of label converters.
The RSC platform offers state of the art quality and productivity, combined with highest uptime, resulting in a competitive package with lowest total cost of ownership. All RSC printers come with best-in-class 1200 dpi output, speeds from 170 – 328 ft./min, and a robust construction designed for 24/7 operation. Our product portfolio offers widths of 13”, 16.5” and 20,” with the RSC E and RSC for short and medium runs, and the RSCi for medium and long runs.
To address evolving needs, Durst has created an Ink Save Mode, allowing Tau RSC platform users to reduce ink costs by an average of 12% on a CMYK press. In conjunction with this feature, our Durst Workflow Label software utilizes image analysis for each print job and replaces the original color combination with an alternative one, with the goal of less ink consumption and minimal visual change in the label appearance. Our intelligent software includes an automatic maintenance feature to avoid downtime and reduce service costs. Automatic cleaning of the print heads is carried out contact-free by the integrated maintenance unit, all designed to provide stable print quality, and reduce ink waste from regular purging.
Tau RSC UV inks were developed with a focus on excellent flow characteristics and high edge sharpness. Standard and Low Migration ink systems cover different applications, such as commercial labeling, chemicals, personal care, beverages, food, pharmaceuticals and more. Tau RSC UV inks are light-fast with excellent adhesion properties, resistant to chemical influences, and are available in Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, Orange, Violet, Green and White.
Current and future customers can count on Durst’s innovation, and the continuous development of RSC technology as a platform for continued successful growth in the label and packaging printing industry.
