Icon takes Durst Rhotex 512R LED printer in UK first

Icon Graphics has made another Durst first. The Milton Keynes-based company, which installed the UK’s first Rhotex P10 250HS Plus 6C + W inkjet printer in December 2017, has now taken the UK’s first 5m wide Rhotex 512R LED printer. Prior to the new dedicated roll-to-roll printer, Icon sub-contracted its 5m wide print.

Neville Tosar, director, Icon Graphics, said: “From my first-year experience, I had no hesitation in getting a Durst again, although I did my homework. This is new LED technology from Durst and I think LED will be the future. This second machine also prints at an amazing quality and is incredibly quick and flexible. I come from an engineering background and soon realised how well these machines are built and, pound for pound, the machine represents really good value.”   Peter Bray, MD, Durst UK and Ireland, said: “This is another quantum leap forward for Icon Graphics, which is the first company in the UK and Ireland to install a Durst Rhotex 512R LED system, which is especially suitable for thermo-sensitive substrates and benefits from a new ink system. It is another example of how increasing numbers of companies are turning to Durst to partner them as part of the transformation and digitisation of industrial production processes.”
