Printing labels with photographic quality

After purchasing the Durst Tau 330 label printer Druckmaus has established itself as an online printer of quality products in small batches.

And now they plan to double: both colors machines Druckmaus.com provides round, oval or square labels in 44 standard sizes or with custom contour in rolls.
The typical customer of the Austrian label works - from 20 to 300 per day - put in orders of around one hundred euros several times a year, a situation which few companies are able to manage. The print data is uploaded to their site directly from the companies that place the orders, or via small graphics centers, in the form of PDF files ready for printing or, more rarely, JPG files. After a control, the job is sent to the print queue, for which the Durst Tau 330 uses the Esko-Artwork software. With a resolution of 720 x 1,260 dpi, the Tau is ideal for producing small labels with photographic quality, which for us constitute about 95% of orders of Druckmaus.com, made on 6 standard supports of PP and paper, and if required finished with a protective surface. The system installed uses four-color UV inks, which are supplied in cans and are paid by the litre (which helps monitor consumption and, consequently the related costs).

The machine is high speed and works with ten heads per color, using patented single pass Durst technology, with drops of variable size while giving a good gray scale reproduction on large substrates up to 330 mm.
With this performance the printer reaches 48 m/min and, installing a coating machine offering a similar performance, Druckmaus.com has been able to exceed the threshold of 30 meters. What with the good results attained and the top quality recognised by its customers, Druckmaus is now planning to purchase its second Tau 330 while empowering the one already in operation, bringing the colors from 4 to 7 (with the addition of white, violet and orange) and equipping itself to use jumbo-rolls.
