Durst Group announces the P5 X true flatbed with roll-to-roll capability, the newest addition to the P5 family
Launched today in Brixen, Italy, the P5 X at 3.2m is aimed at smaller printing businesses producing high-end applications such as bespoke visual communications, large-scale decoration, and speciality packaging. Built as an extension of the established P5 platform Durst describes the new machine as a true flatbed printer with roll options, sharing the benefits of the entire P5 platform.
Christoph Gamper, CEO and Co-Owner of Durst Group commented: “The P5 X is a testament to our commitment to continuous growth in the large-format printing (LFP) sector. We continue to push boundaries with new technologies, expanding our capabilities to meet our customers’ evolving needs. The P5 X, proudly ‘Made in Durst,’ reflects our dedication to innovation, quality, and reliability, showcasing the best of what Durst stands for.”
Key features of the P5 X that Durst highlighted include a vacuum table featuring 12 selectable zones. The four larger zones can be adjusted using individual sliders to adapt to the width of the print material, optimizing suction power. Additionally, the vacuum can be reversed for quick and efficient material removal. Positioning using magnetic linear motors on the X and Y axes ensures precise, reliable movement across the entire workspace even at high speeds.
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, Fluo, Orange, Violet, Light-Cyan, Light-Magenta, Light-Black, Varnish, and Primer, providing ultimate customization for a variety of projects, applications and media types.
Andrea Riccardi, Head of Product Management at Durst Group, said: “The P5 X represents the perfect blend of advanced features and accessibility, opening new opportunities for those striving for excellence in digital printing.”
