Rho SP 60

High Speed Direct Digital Wood Decoration System

The Durst Rho SP 60 is the world‘s ﬁrst industrial-scale high speed direct digital printer to decorate wood panels in widths up to 63 cm, offering signiﬁcant economic beneﬁts as well as superior design advan- tages over traditional methods.

Compare to the limitations of conventional decoration techniques this new, no-touch, digital printing technology offers unlimited image variations, no setup costs thus elimi- nating the need to print minimum quanti- ties, far superior image quality, deﬁnition and dynamic range. It prints onto various substrates and with just 4 colors all colors and shades are produced.

Durst is holding various patents on this new, innovative technology.

In partnership with

Patented Synchronized Inline Printing Engine

Durst has a longterm experience in develo- ping and manufacturing industrial-scale large format inkjet printers for the graphic, packaging and industrial market, using heavy duty industrial piezoelectric inkjet print heads.

For the Durst Gamma industrial scale high speed ceramic printer with many printers operational at various tile manufacturing companies, Durst has developed a new inkjet printing technology, consisting of four (CMYK) full width inkjet printing arrays, fully synchronized with the production process. This proven technology is the basis of the new Rho SP 60 Direct Digital Wood Decoration Printer.

The CMYK Printing Process

The Durst non-impact CMYK inkjet printing technology uses droplets of ink jetted from the small apertures (nozzles) to a speciﬁed position on the media to create an image.

During printing the four colors (cyan, magenta, yellow and black, abbreviated as CMYK) are automatically combined in various ways to create virtually any color in one step.

Software

Proprietary, patented Durst user software designed for the needs of the wood panel industry and built on the successful Durst software used in over 3000 Durst industrial scale digital printers since 1994.

It features on-the-ﬂy, full random printing for unlimited number of different panels from given designs, concept printing, re- gister printing and many other interesting features.
