The Omega 1, Durst say, defines a new quality standard for sign makers, graphic display companies, screen printers, photolabs and studios.
It provides fine art printing quality at an industrial production level, all from an entry level machine.
Designed with the typical high precision of Durst and manufactured with the most modern production technology in the heart of Europe, the Omega 1 is fully in keeping with the Rho tradition. However, its production level and price are designed to meet the needs of the entry level customer.
The fine art printing quality of the Omega 1 is achieved by a resolution of up to 1728 dpi, greyscale printing technology and a large colour gamut, thanks to the optional process colour additions of orange and violet, grey, light magenta and light cyan. The precision transport of the printheads is by advanced magnetic linear drive, further ensuring consistently accurate printing.
The Omega 1 draws on Durst’s 10 years’ experience of both roll to roll and flatbed machines and will print onto the widest range of both rigid and flexible material without compromise to either. The machine will print onto Kappa®, Forex®, Acrylic, Dibond®, and wood up to a thickness of 5cm, as well as onto self adhesive foils, papers, PVC vinyls, PE foils or textiles.
The high quality universal UV Omega 1 inks also provide perfect adhesion on hard, non-absorbent surfaces as well as flexible materials. Their excellent adhesion on such media as metals, polycarbonates and acrylics, is of particular importance to sign makers. In addition, the inks are supplied in 1litre cubitainers to ensure that the ink retains its optimal performance and adhesion even at low production levels.
Very compact in size, the new machine is designed to use the minimum floor space yet it will print large images up to 160cm wide by any length, which is only limited by the media length, and is capable of a print speed of up to 35m² per hour.
