Durst Rho 351R manual Technology, Advantages

Technology

The Rho 351R uses Durst Quadro Array print head technology with 512 nozzles compactly arranged in an Array and con- tinuous flowing, temperature controlled ink. Coupled with Durst’s proprietary firing impulse software, which controls the precise setting of ink drops at high frequency, ensure the printing of fine text (as small as 4 point) even on polyester fabrics without wicking, as well as strong solid colours and step-free color shades. Brush-stretch rollers and a tension regu- lation device transport even thin fabrics precisely and crease-free through the printing equipment. The UV lamps, with dichroitic coated reflectors, are adjustable in steps and cure the UV inks even on temperature-sensitive media.

The touch-screen user software is based on printing experience and is driven by industrial standard LINUX operation software and ensures reliable, 24/7 production.

The software functions include:

•Media channel, archiving for the selected tension for each media the selected, UV lamp step, pass, tension selection, vacuum strengths, and “tuning option” to compensate temperature related media characteristics

•Skip white function (passes over unprinted areas in XY direction)

•Queue function with selection criteria

•Backlit function in order to print double ink layer in one printing process

•Interface to external order management

•Efficient workflow with color management based on external Caldera RIP Server

•Automated workflow using RIP-Job- tickets and hot folders with saved speed-passes, color management and simultaneous administration of queue and hot folders.
