Pondicherry-based Dolphin Graphics has acquired its first digital printing press, a Durst Tau
340 RSC E LM for printing on blister foils and PVC among others for the pharma segment.
S Govindaraajan of Dolphin Graphics said, “We were traditionally printing using rotogravure
technology. Recently we have seen huge interest in short to mid runs in our foils business, because of which we were looking for a digital press. After sampling with all major digital
equipment suppliers we decided to invest in Durst, as their print quality, total cost of
ownership was the best available in the market.”
Selvaraj Venkatesh, Managing Director of Newgen Printronics, said," Blister foils produced
for pharma segment, need low migration inks which was a major advantage provided by
Durst to Dolphin Graphics, who have bought this machine dedicatedly for this application.
The configuration of their Tau RSC E machine is 340mm, 7 colours with low migration inks
which has colour gamut of 95% and light fossilisation above 7. The machine has been
supplied with Durst Workflow, Label Plus which aids in auto nozzle compensation for the
print heads and will be able to produce at 53 m/min, which can be further upgraded to 80
m/min.
The press has been supplied by Newgen Printronics, the official partner for the Durst in India
and Sri Lanka. |
