Today, Duggal Visual Solutions and Durst Image Technology installed the first of its kind, high-resolution 98 UV flat bed printer, the Durst Rho 900 at one of Duggals 4 production facilities in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. This printer comes in addition to another first in the US for the industry, Durst 500R installed at Duggal in October of last year. The new Durst Rho 900, is a revolutionary hybrid designed printer that can produce photographic quality prints on rigid substrates and roll to roll graphics at incredibly fast speeds in virtually any size. Christopher Howard, Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Durst Image Technology, US., LLC said, We are very proud to announce that Duggal Visual Solutions is the first imaging company worldwide to take delivery of our new Rho 900 with these special options. We (Duggal) are excited to add the Durst Rho 900 to our growing fleet of high resolution wide format printers. We are thrilled to be having the first global install of the Durst Rho 900 Flatbed with its unparalleled quality and speed and unique features such as spot varnish, said Michael Duggal, CEO of Duggal Visual Solutions. The automated feed table allows Duggal to do auto feeding of boards that are 3MM and thicker at an unprecedented speed, up to 72- 4 x 8 sheets per hour having a quality of output unmatched in the industry. The unique semi automated feeding of thin boards also allows this capability without the long set up time associated with most auto feeders. The combination of print quality, speed and versatility make the Durst Rho 900 with auto feed table the best flatbed printer on the market. In combination to the Durst Rho 900s speed the printer is also equipped with a completely unique configuration of 2,048 nozzles per color channel. This includes specially formulated inks for 6 color process printing (CMYK, Light Cyan, Light Magenta) and white ink for under or over coat applications on a large variety of substrates. Along with the high quality of inks the Durst Rho 900 also offers special effect spot and flood coat varnish. Chris Howard added that, The capabilities of what Duggal has installed gives them a very special set of functionality as it relates to production speeds, color sets, material handling for corrugate and special effect printing with varnish. These new features will allow Duggal to continue their tradition of providing top of the line graphics but now with even more printing options. Christopher Howard and the Durst Team stated, Duggal represents the highest quality output services along with uniqueness in their product offerings to their customers, and Durst is very happy to work with Duggal in implementing our printing platforms to support these business goals. Duggal Visual Solution and Durst Image Technology hope to continue their partnership together to bring more options, higher quality and faster turnaround times to our customers.

Rho 900 High speed automated printing system
The Rho 900 is a 2.5m wide UV inkjet printer designed to offer the ultimate productivity combined with the finest quality print. It features automated media handling to maximise output and also additional process colours which extend the colour gamut. The continuous media transport system incorporates an auto-feed table with belts, sheet feed gate with guides for parallel board printing, and automatic two-point pin registration system for printing flexible sheets. The Rho 900 will print up to 72 boards (4 x 8ft/125 x 250cm) per hour in 6 colours.
Process Colour Addition (PCA)
The addition of two process colours, either orange and green or orange and violet makes reproduction of even difficult corporate colours possible. It also helps to provide smoother colour gradients and solids. There is no loss of speed and no special file preparation required. The Rho 900 can also print white, varnish or light colours along with the new additional process colours which further expand its possible applications.
Additional process colours extend the colour gamut as shown above
