Mr De Coster said, “We don’t start printing on the Rho until we have enough signs ready to print a whole roll of material. The reflective media used to make the signs is very expensive and so we eliminate as much wastage as possible by carefully nesting the signs, often many different designs, until a whole roll is completed. And then we print it in one go, followed by laminating the material and then sending the finished roll to the cutting table.”

“Until now all our signs have been for Belgium and we deal with all the various local authorities throughout the country. But now, having installed the Rho 161 TS, we will be looking for opportunities to export our services to other parts of Europe.”

Quadro® Array Technology

Durst‘s own innovative Quadro® Array printhead technology achieves the combination of the highest productivity with the finest quality and is featured in all the Durst Rho UV inkjets.

The technology is based on Spectra inkjets. There are four slots in a single heated jet plate in an array configuration.

This provides a total of 512 nozzles wich are supplied with continual ink flow. This makes it possible to achieve the greatest drop density yet recorded in the smallest amount of space, and at the same time to eliminate the tolerances between the jet heads. The drops are set at precisely defined points.

Printing quality is further improved by Durst‘s own electronic system which controls the size and shape of the drops. This means that the printing of very small text (as small as 6pt), is comparable to that achieved with conventional offset printing. With precision drop setting electronics, at either 400 or 600 dpi resolution, the customer no longer has to make the choice between the best quality and a high rate of printing speed. Quadro array technology makes the Rho inkjets both high-quality and fast, without compromise.

Finally, Quadro Array Technology, with its constant control of drop geometry, also makes it possible to print full-area, critical colours without variation.
