First presented as a prototype at Labelexpo Americas 2016, the Durst Tau 330/Omet XFlex X6 hybrid system has now been combined with Durst’s new web-to-print and pre-press software, Workflow-Label. Designed specifically for label print production providers, Workflow-Label is modular, expandable pre-press software for order entry, pre-press, RIP, color management, ink costing and production data management. It offers key functionality, such as automated knock-out of non-print areas, resulting in lower ink consumption, in addition to a high access and self-explaining browser-based interface for immediate job costing and easy to use high speed variable data functionality.
Helmuth Munter, segment manager, label and package printing at Durst, said: ‘The reaction to the prototype Tau 330/Omet system at Labelexpo last year was hugely encouraging, and we have pressed on with our development of this unique technology integration and have completed the system with state-of-the-art web-to-print and workflow software.’
Integration of the Tau 330 with near-line pre- and post-press finishing in cooperation with Omet, provides customers with a digital label printing system that is complemented by a wide range of conventional printing and finishing technology. These include flexo stations for priming and/or varnishing, web cleaning, corona treatment, rotary/semi-rotary die-cutting and slitting.
‘We’re proud to show the entire system now for European visitors for the first time – an innovative end-to-end digital production workflow combining digital printing and conventional finishing with unrivalled capabilities in materials, colors and special effects finishing,’ concluded Munter.
