vestment level. “For years, Durst has offered water-based ink, and now offers a Digital Water-based white ink, a first for the industry. This ink allows for high quality printing on brown or kraft boards, expanding the board types that can be printed on the SPC. It also further addresses sustainabil- ity concerns, reducing the needed for bleached or coated substrates, and enable easier de-inking and recycling of kraft fibers. Water-based white printing on Delta SPC en- ables another level of embellishment effects, allowing for a greater number of jobs to be printed digitally like clients and brands looking for solutions for e-commerce and gift- ing. All Durst water-based ink is non-hazardous and allows premium quality, odorless, abrasion-resistant, glossy, and lightfast end products to be produced in a single process. “Durst equipment comes with our award-winning, web- based Workflow Software and Analytics Software.

Palo Alto, California: Mark Dempsey reports, “We want to thank our customers for choosing HP as their partner a healthy backlog. The C550 continues to enable convert- ers meet the evolving demands of the industry and deliver exceptional value to our customers through digital flexibil- ity at scaled volume production. “We also installed and successfully ramped our 11th 110” preprint press worldwide. The HP PageWide T1195i Press runs up to 1000 FPM in six-color using HP’s latest genera- tion printhead technology, increasing printhead life as well as allowing our customers to print on a wider array of sub- strates. HP is the only digital preprint manufacturer in the world with a true production proven 110” solution. “We are proud to say that our customers print more dig- ital square feet on HP digital presses than any other OEM worldwide which is not only a testament to design and economics but to the support and service infrastructure that HP uniquely bring to the partnership. “In July, HP hosted over 100 customers and partners at our worldwide T700i launch event in Wurzburg, Germany. The HP PageWide T700i, is a new 67” wide six-color, 1000 FPM press was developed to complement and support laminators around the world.

for today’s manufacturers and converters. Durst offers the widest range of printers, inks, and software available for the Corrugated market, and leads with the strongest team of specialists. “The Durst P5 350 is a fully automated hybrid solution for board printing up to 3.5 m and reaches, in the High-
Speed version, a productivity up to 7 MSF per hour. Equipped with the feeding & stacking system Automat, the printing process can be fully au- tomated. “The Rho 2500 can achieve a maximum productivity of 13.450 MSF per hour and a production ca- pacity of 8.6 MSF per hour in the

HS version. Multiflex full automation is available with the Rho 2500, achieving a maximum loading and unloading capacity of 380 boards/hour. For corrugated printing, an automated dual track guide ensures that the corrugated boards remain flat, allowing change between board sizes very quickly. “The brand-new Durst P5 SMP is a highly versatile and adaptable 3.5m hybrid printer. It reaches an output of up to 21,500 sq.ft/h, offering a remarkable capacity of almost 54 million sq.ft/year. With optional feeding/stacking options, it is the ultimate solution for high productivity printing. “The P5 250 WT is the most productive and sustain- able water-based solution with improved efficiency due to 30 percent less energy consumption. This printer is our solution for short and mid-run digital printing production and is equipped with full automation and Durst Water Technology Inks. “The Delta SPC 130 was developed for high speed short, medium and long run jobs and is capable of the highest quality requirements needed in corrugated print- ing, with current users replacing work previously done using litho printed top sheets. The SPC 130 prints with a maximum of 6 colors on small formats from 500x600 mm through to very large formats with maximum dimensions of 1,300 x 2,100 (optionally 1,300 x 2,800 mm), and a max- imum thickness of 12 mm. Koenig & Bauer Durst has de- veloped automation systems for the Delta SPC 130, which enables integration into existing production lines, allowing manufacturers and converters to achieve fully automated production and fully exploit the potential of digitization. “For those just starting or transitioning to digital, Durst offers the Delta SPC 130 CORE. With its development, man- ufacturers and converters can start at a lower investment level and build up a portfolio of clients looking for digital print now, while having the ability to expand in the future when additional capacity, automation options or colors are needed. In addition to CORE scalability, Delta SPC 130 modularity allows for expanded capacity without needing room for an additional printer and without needing to re- place the CORE machine. The Delta SPC 130 CORE utiliz- es the same heads, ink, electronics, and software as the Delta SPC 130, so there is no sacrifice in quality at this in-
