Durst introduces P5 X with true flatbed capabilities

Durst Group has announced the P5 X, the newest addition to the P5 family which reflect the company's dedication to to innovation, quality, and reliability.

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."


Designed for high-end applications such as bespoke visual communications, large-scale decoration, and specialty packaging, the P5 X is built to meet the highest standards while also being accessible to those wanting to enter the "Champions League" of digital printing. Field- tested by Archimede near Padua in Italy – a leading provider of visual communication & display solutions for top-tier retail clients and luxury brands – the P5 X proved its versatility and quality. Andrea Riccardi, Head of Product Management at Durst Group, highlighted: "The P5 X represents the perfect blend of advanced features and accessibility, opening new opportunities for those striving for excellence in digital printing."

The P5 platform integrates high-end systems, hybrid solutions, and comprehensive software, service, and ink solutions. With the P5 X, Durst introduces a true flatbed printer with roll options, sharing the benefits of the entire P5 platform.

The P5 X excels with its high precision, quality, versatility, usability and advanced features:

  • Precision and Accuracy
Magnetic linear motors on the X and Y axes ensure precise, reliable movement across the entire workspace. This advanced system allows for faster and simpler positioning without
 
compromising on accuracy, even at high speeds.
 
  • Powerful Vacuum Table
The P5 X is equipped with a vacuum table featuring 12 selectable zones. The four larger zones can be easily 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.
 
  • Versatile Color Configuration
The P5 X offers 10 color 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.
 
  • Optimized Printing Usability
    • Twin Printing Mode: Seamless dual-side printing for increased efficiency without waiting times.
    • Reverse Printing: Enables one-pass white over and under printing using a single printhead.
    • Multitrack: Supports simultaneous printing on up to 12 channels (6 per side) with different images or board sizes.
 
  • Visual Status Bar
The status bar provides operators with key information about the print system at a glance. It shows system readiness, remaining print time, ink status, and more, allowing for efficient monitoring and swift reactions to any situation.

The P5 X is built with operator convenience in mind. Its ergonomic design minimizes outer edges, allowing boards to be loaded and unloaded comfortably in an upright position. Safety features include a light curtain on the print carriage that slows down the printing in case of interruption, ensuring maximum safety. The P5 X also includes user-friendly LED indicators that show the correct positioning for boards and identify which vacuum rows should be activated. Magnetic pins are easy to mount, streamlining the entire setup process.
