For over sixty years Durst has been at the forefront of the design and manufacture of equipment used in the production of display graphics. From the outset, our products have set the standard both in terms of quality and advanced technology, achieving many ‘firsts’ on the way.

Today, Durst is recognised as an international, ISO 9001 approved manufacturer of high-grade imaging systems to world class standards at our factories in Italy, Austria and our sister company, Durst Dice America in the USA.
The last decade has seen the digital imaging revolution, which Durst embraced with our Lambda large format digital photo imager. The excellent reliability, impressive output quality and the extraordinary productivity of the Lambda has led to its market leading status with over 700 units in use throughout the world.

2002 is another landmark year for Durst with our world-wide launch of the Rho 160 large format inkjet printer. The production standard, ‘direct to media’ Rho spans the imaging market from the professional photo lab through graphic display companies to screen and commercial printers.

The Rho 160 is here!
The first two Rho 160s have arrived in the UK, one was displayed at IPEX, the other has been installed at a customer’s premises.

The Rho 160 is designed for heavy duty, continuous production for indoor and outdoor applications, providing high quality and output with exceptional reliability. In its highest quality mode it will print 45m2 per hour, with just one operator required to carryout all printing functions, including the media change. Maximum printing width is 160cm (62“) and printing length it limited only by the media length. Maximum media thickness, 40mm.

Immediate demand for the Rho in the UK
Demand for the Rho across the entire large format imaging business is set to be high with 8 firm orders already placed in the UK. Manufactured in our purpose-built factory at Lienz, in Austria, production line models will commence delivery after IPEX.
