Accu-Label Invests In Second Durst Tau RSCi Printer

Fort Wayne, Indiana based Accu-Label Inc. announced an investment in their second Durst printer, the Tau RSCi. The family-owned label manufacturer said they quickly re- alized the benefits after investing in their first Durst Tau RSCi in 2021. They saw print speeds five times higher than traditional solutions, their consumable costs were halved, and their total digital production capabilities more than doubled. “With close to 100 per cent capacity on the first unit, it was time to add a second,” said DJ Manning, Produc- tion Manager at Accu-Label. “Capacity and redundancy are such an integral part of our process, and we need the quick turn, fast speed, and high-quality abilities of the RSCi to open our business to faster turn labels.”

The Durst Tau RSCi is designed for an industrial level of productivity with 1200 dpi quality and printing speeds up to 328ft/min. With an RSCi already in production, Manning said the repeatability of color and quality is a big plus. “On top, we are seeing 8-hour shifts with 70 to 80,000 feet of product through with no down time for cleaning or main- tenance,” he said. Manning and his team feel confident in partnering with Durst again. “From Durst’s management to their service team, everyone is great to work with. They are always put- ting Accu-Label’s needs at the forefront.” “Durst truly has a solution for every print service provid- er, and this is exemplified through the strong relationship we have built with Accu-Label,” said Steve Lynn, Director of Labels and Packaging. “From our first meeting, we knew that Durst Tau RSC technology would help Accu-Label ex- pand productivity and grow into their next chapter. The quality and benefits of Durst innovation are unparalleled, and we are pleased to partner with them once again.” Accu-Label has high expectations with the addition of this second printer, and for good reasons. “We are hoping to see our digital transition into more aggressive turn times on labels, giving customers the ability to order as needed rather than keeping large shelf inventories,” Manning said. “With having two RSCi’s, we can shorten lead times and ease customer’s supply needs.” The Accu-Label team gathers by a new Durst Tau RSCi printer.
