With a daily production volume of up to 50,000 square meters per day, Gramann supplies trading companies from Norway to South Africa, from Portugal to Dubai. However, the company not only handles printing, but also takes care of prepress, 3D design and product development.

“Every day, customers come to us with challenges that at first seem unsolvable. But as soon as we have successfully implemented the projects, we think – cool, what we can do!” emphasizes Antonius Gramann, CEO Gramann Digitaldruck GmbH.
Gramann recently invested in the P5 350 hybrid printing system and is thrilled. Above all, the machine convinces in the following 5 points:
“For us, the future clearly lies in the corrugated sector. Here we are talking about packaging in short to medium runs” explains Mr. Gramann “The trend is that customers want to move away from plastic. Corrugated board is paper – you almost can’t get more sustainable than that.”

As a company, LabelPrint offers high quality stickers and print labels. The new Tau RSCi label press was crucial in their quest to offer the shortest deadlines and competitive prices to meet customers individual requirements and needs.
LabelPrint OÜ became a Durst Tau 330 customer already 5 years ago. Since then, they actively developed digital print services to its client base and a trustful relation has been built between Durst and LabelPrint OÜ during the past years.
Therefore it was a logical step that Durst approached LabelPrint OÜ as the first-choice beta test candidate.
Bressanone, Italy – 18.05.2021 – Durst, manufacturer of innovative digital printing systems and software solutions, has announced that LabelPrint OÜ has successfully completed beta testing of its new single-pass UV inkjet digital Tau RSCi Label Press. The investment from the label-making company from Tallinn, Estonia, is a key part of a strategy to move medium and long run flexo jobs to digital UV inkjet printing.
In a continuing trustful relationship, LabelPrint OÜ provided extremely valuable inputs to Durst that have now been incorporated into the Tau RSCi platform, which is now starting full commercial production. Results of the extensive collaboration will be shared at an online event, headlined “All you need is RSC”, on June 15 at 10.00 and 17.00 CEST. The 20-minute presentation from the Durst headquarters in Brixen, Bressanone, Italy, will cover unique insights into latest label developments and the new extended Tau RSC platform.

Sten Sarap, owner of LabelPrint OÜ, said: “We are very happy with the opportunities and positive after the installation, particularly with the many further improvements to the software. The new Tau RSCi offers us enormous potential and we see lots of possibilities in digital production, which I see as the future. Digital production on the RSCi is constant, running in three shifts. The new machine gives us the ability to print far more in a short lead time so we are moving more jobs from flexo to digital because we can print extremely fast at unbelievably high quality. Another welcome factor has been the ease of use of the machine. Our operators were fully trained within two weeks of the Tau RSCi arriving when it takes far longer to train somebody for flexo printing, sometimes up to a year.”
Thomas Macina, Durst Group’s Global Sales Manager Label & Flexbile Packaging, said: “Our grateful thanks to LabelPrint OÜ. This is a really active partnership, characterized by a close and productive approach in this beta testing. “With 10 Tau RSCi’s already installed across the world, we are confident of success as we start full commercial production. Label converters who are curious and want to see the extended portfolio and latest developments are invited to our must-watch online event – All you need is RSC – on 15 June.
He added: “Labels continues to be a significant growth business for Durst, not least because increasing numbers of converters such as LabelPrint OÜ are recognizing the benefits of transferring more volume from flexo to our digital platform to offer competitive prices to meet their own customers’ bespoke requirements and needs.”
Bressanone, Italy, 29.04.2021 – Durst, manufacturer of innovative digital printing systems and software solutions, is setting a milestone in the field of sublimation printing with the launch of the P5 TEX iSUB. The abbreviation iSUB stands for “inline sublimation.” This eliminates individual work steps, resulting in a significant increase in quality and efficiency for the user.
The soft signage market is experiencing enormous growth rates in all areas of application – from visual communication and decor to textile clothing. In the period from 2017 to 2023, the sales volume will increase by more than 60 percent, according to a forecast by Keypoint Intelligence. Converted to absolute figures, the market will grow globally from around $19.2 billion in 2019 to $31.4 billion (2023).
A number of trends can be pinpointed for this continued growth, which clearly speak in favor of the soft signage market. These include environmental friendliness through the use of water-based, odorless inks. Other user benefits include cost efficiency in logistics and low ink consumption, as well as fast project implementation and a wide range of applications. “Durst has been active in the soft signage market since 2010, and we have been able to place over 250 systems from the Rhotex series on the market worldwide,” emphasizes Christian Harder, Vice President Sales, Durst Group AG.
Integrated inline fixation
In tune with these trends in the soft signage market, Durst has developed the P5 TEX iSUB, which is based on the successful P5 platform with a maximum print width of 3.3 meters. At the heart of the Durst P5 TEX iSUB is the integrated inline fusing for direct printing on polyester fabrics. The advantages of this one-step process are obvious, explains Andrea Riccardi, Head of Product Management, Durst Group AG: “No investment and no floor space is required for a calender. The Durst P5 TEX iSUB is operated by only one operator, and the process acceleration also increases our customers’ ability to deliver.” Whereby the P5 TEX iSUB is not limited to direct printing, but transfer papers can also be printed and further processed in the usual way. It is precisely the combination of both processes in one system that gives users enormous flexibility.
Innovation iSUB – contactless fixing technology
The Sublifix dye sublimation ink developed by Durst delivers vivid colors, even on difficult media such as blackback or backlit for light boxes or flags. A unique feature of the P5 Text iSUB is its innovative contactless fusing. The iSUB contactless technology ensures excellent color consistency as well as extreme sharpness of detail in images and text, also blurring or bleeding of color is virtually eliminated.
A wide range of applications can be implemented with the P5 TEX iSUB. One example is decorative fabrics with strong, brilliant colors and exact reproduction of details. Another are flags that show good print on both sides of the material even without external calendaring. Blackback applications as well as colorful light boxes round out the spectrum while retaining the soft-touch feel. In all these applications, the Durst RIP plays a central role, ensuring consistent color across all media.
The maximum print speed is 383 m2/hour when the 330 cm print format is fully utilized, inspiring the efficient implementation of all these application examples. Access to two rolls via the Multiroll option makes changing materials much easier in practice. In addition, the Dualroll option allows two rolls with a width of 1.6 meters to be printed. Another outstanding feature of the Durst P5 TEX is the integrated finishing unit, which can be used to sew and stitch media.
Test under practical conditions
The Durst P5 TEX iSUB is currently undergoing field testing at the Italian ABS Group, which has a long-standing partnership with the Durst Group and has been working with a Rhotex 500 and Rhotex 325 for many years. In conjunction with the Durst P5 TEX iSUB, ABS Group benefits from the flexibility and significant process acceleration. “The Durst P5 TEX iSUB will also prove its reliability in 24/7 operation and deliver a significant increase in quality to our customers,” said Andrea Riccardi. The ABS Group management also gives a very positive assessment of the Durst Analytics tool, the data from which is used to network the P5 TEX iSUB with the ERP software developed in-house and thus optimize production planning and individual processes.
“The P5 TEX iSUB combines efficiency, quality and productivity at the highest level. At Durst, we are convinced that our solution will give a significant boost to the soft signage market,” assures Christian Harder, Vice President Sales, Durst Group AG.
