Wide Format Imaging

Coyle Reproductions in La Mirada, CA, one of the nation’s largest most successful screen printers, is now one of the best equipped digital imagers as well, with its recent acquisition of two continuous-print Durst Rho 800 Presto large-format UV inkjet printers.

Coyle, celebrating its 45th anniversary this year, follows a rigorous program to “keep us current on technological advances that bring added value, quality, innovation and economy to our customers,” said President Jerry Jacobs. After nearly two years investigating the various large-format printers available, he said, the Rho 800s were added to Coyle’s arsenal of printing devices primarily for three reasons:

· their state-of-the art productivity, image quality and cost-efficiency driven by world-class Durst technology; · their ability to print on roll or rigid media, apply a variety of inks, and satisfy a wide range of customer output requirements; and · Durst’s build quality, reliability and after-sale support.

“We saw the quality images it produced and how it was built,” Jacobs added. “When you stack anything else up against it – well, it was a pretty easy decision for us to make.”

The 98-inch-wide Durst Rho 800 Presto, voted the Top Flatbed Printer by the readers of Wide-Format Imaging magazine for 2008 and 2009, was the first large-format imaging platform to offer continuous board printing for highest productivity. It also prints on multiple narrow boards across its full width on materials up to 2.75 inches thick at speeds up to 1,290 sf/hr. Compatible with Durst’s heavy-duty roll feed/take-up accessory for roll media up to 98 inches wide and 440 pounds, it prints white ink, special-effect varnish, light and spot colors with no loss of speed. Durst’s proprietary Quadro Array print head technology delivers very sharp images, crisp text down to 4-point type, and exceptional color density.
