The Rho 351R, a further development of the Rho 350R, is a high-speed UV inkjet printer for roll media, including: paper, fabrics, vinyl and PVC films, up to a width of 3500 mm (11.6 ft). The high print quality, featuring fine text (as small as 4 point) and solid areas of colour with high colour gamut and density, is achieved using Durst Quadro Array print head technology, innovative European mecha- nical engineering and Durst’s proprietary image software.
The Rho 351R uses Durst Rho Roll Ink, a virtually odourless, high pigmentation ink, which has been specially developed for excellent flexibility, adhesion and colour stability on flexible material. It is ideal for printing on such material as soft banners (fabrics) and backlit textiles, tents and awnings, truck side curtains, POP/POS signs, large format posters, building wrapping, wall paper and PVC films for backlighting, etc...
The high colour density of 2.25 D and the ability to underprint white or use it as
a spot colour, enables both the printing of coloured media and the production of photo-quality backlits. The printing of backlits is automated by the special backlit function which applies double the ink coverage in one printing operation. The high productivity, up to 170 m2/hr on mesh, for example, is further optimised by the ability to print two 1600 mm wide, different diameter rolls simultane- ously, thus utilising the full width of the equipment. Productivity is enhanced still further by the stepless skip-white func- tion in an XY direction.
The printing operation is enhanced by an integrated manual cutting device and the user friendly, industry standard LINUX operating software. The built-in security system allows for unattended printing of large rolls and double sided printing is made possible thanks to the laser driven registration.
