Rho 512R-1

Rho 512R The super-wide 12 picolitre roll to roll UV inkjet printer with Variodrop technology The Rho 512R sets the quality standard for high end industrial inkjet productivity. This is due to Durst’s latest Quadro Array 12M printhead technology which features a very small ink drop size of only 12 picolitres. With its very small ink drop size it is capable of printing with unrivalled quality up to 900 dpi and a speed of up to 350 m² per hour. Furthermore, the Rho 512R is designed for printing a wide variety of large format advertising material. It will also print three 1.6 m rolls together. With the high precision of the carriage system, the linear motor drive technology, enhanced Quadro Array technology and a printhead with over 30,000 nozzles, it achieves optimum print quality without loss of speed. Unattended printing, extremely low production costs and low ink consumption make the Rho 512R one of the most economical printers ever. Variodrop technology Variodrop is an adjustable binary mode which uses multipulsing for drop size modulation. It combines two voltage pulses in such a way that the second pulse pumps precise dosage amounts of ink into the droplet before it detaches from the nozzle plate without forming any satellites. Compared to the often uneven droplets formed from a not well tuned greyscale waveform, the double pulse drop shape is perfectly uniform and its placement is always evenly spaced with Variodrop. Variodrop increases productivity by up to 25% for the Rho 512R. Features of the Rho 512R • Latest Durst Quadro Array printhead technology • Low ink consumption achieved by high pigmented inks providing low ink cost/m² • Easy and fast media change with minimum media waste • Unattended printing of large rolls • User friendly operating software with management functions • Maximised workflow from simultaneous ripping/transfer and printing of files through additional RIP workstation and hot folders • The completely VOC free UV Rho Roll Ink, accredited with the Nordic Swan certification • Highest reliability in the market (24/7 production)
