Durst, a manufacturer of digital inkjet printing presses, has awarded the South Korean company DdP Story its most successful distributor of the Tau 330 UV Inkjet Label Press in the year 2014. DdP Story has been a Durst distributor since late 2013, and within 12 month the South Korean territory accounts for seven Tau 330 installations.

Helmuth Munter, Durst’s segment manager Labels & Package Printing, comments: “We are very proud to have such an active distributor and like to congratulate the entire DdP Story team to their exceptional sales results in the South Korean market.”

An official certificate was been handed over during a recent meeting between Junghun Park, president of DdP Story, and Helmuth Munter. 

Outfitted with Xaar 1002 single-pass print heads, the Durst Tau 330 features a maximum printing width of 330 mm and a maximum print speed of 48 running meters per minute. The standard ink configuration in CMYK can optionally be enhanced with white and two other process colors, such as orange and violet, which are essential for label applications with Pantone color spaces. Comprehensive RIP software with integrated substrate and color management functions is included with all Tau 330s, including the standard model.

With its new high-definition print mode, the Tau 330 is capable of achieving a resolution of 720 x 1260 dpi, a considerable improvement in print quality resulting in razor-sharp text and fine details in graphics and images. To optimize productivity with a fully digital end-to-end work flow, the Tau 330 can optionally be outfitted with a new, linear digital laser finishing system from laser cutting technology specialist Spartanics. Equipped with a powerful 1000-Watt laser, this system enables automatic job and order changing in a single pass.

The Tau 330 can also use the new Tau low-migration UV inks from SUNJET for printing on primary food packaging. The substrates of the Tau low-migration inks fulfill all the guidelines of the European Printing Ink Association (EuPIA), the Swiss Material Ordinance and the Nestlé Packaging Ink Specification.
