BRIXEN,ITALY—  Durst Group has bolstered its P5 family of printers with the addition of a “true flatbed” printer with single and dual roll capability. Designed for high-end applications such as visual communications, large-scale decoration, and specialty packaging. The P5 X can print at speeds of up to 120sqm/hr with resolutions of either 700x1,200dpi or 900x1,200dpi. It uses Ricoh Gen 5 printheads with a 7pl drop size. The maximum printing width for boards is 3.25x2.15m. With a single roll it can print 3.5m wide, or dual 1.6m-wide rolls can be printed side by side. The P5 X offers 10 colour channels that can be configured to meet specific requirements. Channels include inks from the P5 series, combining CMYK, White, Fluorescent, Orange, Violet, Light Cyan, Light Magenta, Light Black, Varnish, and Primer. White printing speeds are said to be 50% slower.
