Durst to debut Tau G3 Peak at LOUPE Americas

Durst Group has spent 90 years pushing the boundaries of what is possible and shaping the industry. It is with that spirit and forward-thinking in mind that it announces the next-generation label and flexible packaging lineup for LOUPE Americas. As a Gold Sponsor, Durst will showcase its full and diverse portfolio of digital and hybrid technologies in booth #3121, giving visitors a look at the future of production.

Making its highly anticipated North American debut is the Tau G3 Peak, the newest addition to Durst’s digital label offerings. Built on decades of experience and innovation, the Durst Tau G3 Peak combines new technologies and intelligence with the most advanced features on the market.

With 1200 dpi native resolution, speeds up to 328 fpm, automated printhead protection and maintenance, automated color-to-color registration setup, variable data at full press speed, new Durst Automatic Register Control (ARC) and Material Edge Protection (MEP), the Tau G3 Peak brings together a powerful combination of reliability, simplicity, performance and highest quality in one platform.

Joining the Tau G3 Peak

Alongside the Tau G3 Peak will be the KJet, the ultimate solution for inkjet/flexo hybrid print production. Combining Durst’s 1200dpi inkjet technology with Omet’s proven flexo technology, the KJet is a highly adaptable production platform designed to give converters greater flexibility with an ultra-short web path, advanced automation and register control, print widths of 13”, 17” and 20”, the option of sleeve or plate cylinder, full or semi rotary diecutting, and 1200 dpi native resolution.

The KJet redefines the concept of versatility and extends the boundaries of printing and converting solutions, says Durst.

Completing the Durst lineup is Durst Workflow Label and Durst Analytics software. Durst’s software ecosystem is designed to connect production, automate processes, and provide greater visibility throughout the workflow. By combining hardware, software and intelligent production solutions, Durst continues to provide label converters with the tools needed to improve efficiency and build a more connected production environment.

“Durst has been a driving force in digital label production for decades,” says Steve Lynn, executive director, Durst North America. “We continue to invest in R&D and the results are powerful solutions that move our customers and the industry forward. The introduction of the Tau G3 platform is an example of this, along with the KJet, which we successfully introduced two years ago. This year at LOUPE, we are not only showing what is possible today, but what is next. As we celebrate 90 years of innovation, we look forward to sharing our vision and future with the label industry.”
