Durst celebrates a milestone with the production of the hundredth P5 TEX iSUB, a digital press specialized for textiles. This model has made a name for itself in the industry thanks to its ability to optimize production in a single pass and to meet growing ecological demands. Let's take a look at the advantages of this machine for players in soft signage and textile decoration.
One-step fixing, without additional heat presses, is a key innovation of the P5 TEX iSUB. Where conventional methods require two steps with separate heat transfer intervention, this system streamlines the process into a single step, integrating simultaneous sublimation and fixing. Time savings of up to 40% compared with two-step solutions are crucial for companies seeking to make their textile production lines reactive and efficient.
Against a backdrop of increasing pressure to reduce carbon footprints, the P5 TEX iSUB breaks new ground with odorless water-based inks and optimized energy consumption. By reducing energy requirements by 60%, the system meets sustainability standards while lowering production costs for the user. This model also stands out for its elimination of tissue paper used for transfer, contributing to a tangible reduction in waste and fluids. Oeko-Tex Eco Passport-certified inks reinforce the ecological argument, guaranteeing clean, environmentally-friendly production.
With a printing width of 3.50 meters, the P5 TEX iSUB is a versatile solution, perfectly suited to the needs of soft signage: flags, advertising textiles, signs for trade fairs and exhibitions, as well as interior decoration. The system allows both direct printing on textiles and the use of transfer papers, offering printers considerable operational flexibility.
Non-contact fixing is a unique feature that maintains consistent quality, especially on delicate substrates such as backlit or blackback textiles for lightboxes. The process guarantees brilliant colors and exemplary image sharpness. By reducing the risk of textile displacement during sublimation, this technique ensures stable quality, meeting the standards of high-end textile printing.
Durst accompanies the P5 TEX iSUB with comprehensive software solutions for workflow management and real-time production monitoring. Durst Workflow and RIP offer advanced tools for controlling and adapting print parameters, maximizing productivity and minimizing raw material waste. Durst Analytics software also enables continuous performance analysis, giving operators the means to perfect their processes on a daily basis. This high level of automation facilitates the work of operators, as only one person can manage the machine, thus reducing staff costs.
