With the tagline ‘Your first Durst’, Core combines technologies and features from across the P5 portfolio into one integrated platform.
Durst, exhibiting at stand 3-A115, said it reflects the XT (Extended Technology) concept of continuous development, performance optimisation, and upgradeability across the installed base. The system incorporates the latest software architecture, enabling future performance updates and extended application capabilities.
The Kyveris intelligence system-ready hybrid machine can print boards up to 3.5m-wide, single rolls up to 3.47m or dual rolls up to 1.625m. It uses 7pl Ricoh Gen5 printheads and up to 10 colour channels (CMYK + Lc, Lm + W + special).
It can print at peak speeds of up to 325sqm/hr and production speeds up to around 170sqm/hr.
Features such as the high-performance vacuum belt expand material flexibility, while the new machine design is said to improve operator handling and reduce setup effort.
Energy consumption is measured in accordance with ISO 20690. The base configuration has an average ink consumption of 6.00ml/sqm, with up to 30% additional savings through workflow optimisation.
The P5 350 Core is commercially available now, with deliveries starting in July.
Christoph Gamper, CEO and co-owner of Durst Group, said: “The P5 350 Core is the entry point into the Durst ecosystem – futureproof from day one.”
Durst, which is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, is also showing the P5 500 Tex iSub with a 5m Hasler cutter and the P5 350 HSI high-speed industrial inkjet printer.
Meanwhile, Fespa marks the first public presentation of the Kyveris Sandbox. Machines, jobs, materials and production results are connected across systems, enabling continuous analysis, process optimisation and measurable productivity improvements.
Durst said Kyveris includes the Open Software Initiative (OSI), providing open APIs and documented interfaces for integration with MIS, workflow and finishing systems.
Durst will also present corrugated applications and developments in digital corrugated production workflows together with Koenig & Bauer Durst at 3-C160.
The focus includes applications for the P5 SMP (Super Multi-Pass) hybrid LED inkjet system for board and roll printing.
Koenig & Bauer Durst is showcasing applications from the SPC 130 single-pass press, including water-based inks for primary food packaging compliant with relevant regulations.
