The Advantages

For producing innovative products, the manufacturing companies desire faster turnaround time, smaller runs and more flexibility in the decorating process to mi- nimize inventories and maximize cash flow. The Durst Rho SP 60 Direct Digital Wood Decoration System offers the following advantages:

Ultimate Design Variation & Flexibility (Patented Durst Random Design Printing Technology).

With this technology endless panels with different designs can be created, using several designs at the same time and to obtain each panel to be different. It allows to develop new products and to offer new customized solutions. New design samples can also be created much faster and at lower costs. Unique custom designs and concepts are now possible.

Full Relief Decoration

When decorating uneven panels (with medium & strong reliefs), it assures perfect definition of all parts. Since the decora- tion of high and low reliefs are decorated simultaneously, it ensures designs with greater continuity and more realism.

On Demand Printing & Trials

Since with this technology there is no physical setup and ink change needed, the printing quantity or square meters have no influence to the production cost and se- tup-time. To facilitate on-demand printing, the Rho SP 60 features very fast produc- tion changeover and new model start-up (it is sufficient to change the printing file) in addition to no down time between jobs. This assures also shorter production time from creation to final decorated tile.

Easy Operation – Remote Diagnostics The Rho SP 60 features a user guided touch-screen operation and remote access diagnostics and servicing via network.
