Hollanders is now shipping the ColorBooster DS-320, a 3.2m-wide machine that prints simultaneously onto both sides of the media with either the same or a different image. The system incorporates two print engines and an integrated fixation unit, and is designed for industrial-level production in 24/7 working environments where unattended operation is desired. In duplex mode throughput speeds of up to 72m2/hour are quoted.
The ColorBooster DS-320 uses high energy disperse inks making it possible to print direct to spun polyesters, flag and banner materials. It includes on-board climate control so that operation is not affected by the ambient environment; plus it has full remote support.
“The textile printing market has become ever more demanding and we have been able to address higher productivity and greater versatility with the new ColorBooster DS-320,” said Roland Biemans, marketing and communications manager at Hollanders Printing Systems.
“Double-sided applications have been time consuming and labour intensive until now, but the arrival of this new machine means that anyone needing to print direct to both sides of the media can now achieve this as an automated process. This opens new doors to flag and banner specialists, and simplifies the generation of front- and back-lit posters and displays.”
The ColorBooster DS-320 is the newest addition to the growing portfolio of digital textile printers and finishing solutions manufactured by Hollanders. The flagship 3.2m ColorBooster XL was recently joined by the 2.5m entry-level ColorBooster 250 which will have its international début at the SGIA Expo in Orlando.
