The Durst Tau RSCi Digital Press can produce vibrant, seven-color ‘true’ 1200x1200-pixel resolution even at maximum speeds, and can utilize FDA-compliant inks for indirect food/drug contact.

The focus on workforce development will allow us to continue to elevate, develop, engage and ultimately retain our employees,” said Joseph M. Palmeri of Jamestown Container Companies.
