Durst Fiber Optic (DFO) Technology

The DFO technology is the heart of our system. Monochrome LED’s (red, green, blue) produce light which is projected as pixels over glass fiber cable and optics line-by-line with 254 ppi printing resolution/256 levels onto photo sensitive material.

The DFO technology becomes unique through its media calibration system consisting of densitometer, scanner and the corresponding software whereby the majority of materials are calibrated to

an optimum. The DFO technology features an LED light source with an extremely long life time of close to 100.000 hours, thus combining proven Durst image quality at extremely low maintenance costs.

Digital, automatic workflow

The image data is automatically “retrieved” from the data server. The scaling also occurs automatically – and without further manual intervention, the ICC conversion, printing, processing, cutting and sorting takes place. All this together really leads to a fully automatic, digital workflow.
