“The decision was sealed after our staff attended LabelExpo in Brussels earlier this year and came back with a glowing recommendation that verified our preliminary research,” Faruqui added. “And our experience with Durst has been great. We’re looking forward to having the Tau on-site in January.” Founded 26 years ago, Design Label Systems is a leader in Canada’s pressure-sensitive label market. The 75-employee company provides label and packaging solutions to a wide range of industries from its 25,000-square-foot facility in Mississauga – including food, household products, health & beauty, wine & spirits, pharmaceutical, petrochemical and manufacturing.
The Tau 330 is designed for short-run and medium-run narrow-web applications, covering widths from 16.5-33.0 cm (6.5-13.0 in.) and running at print speeds up to 48m (157 ft.) per minute. Output capacity can reach 950 sm (10,225 sq. ft.) per hour. “Sharp, precise print quality for today’s most demanding label and package printing applications” is made possible by Durst’s proprietary UV inkjet printhead technology. This technology – featuring advanced drop-on-demand, variable drop size, and grayscale capabilities – delivers a print resolution of 720 x 1,260 dpi, that generates highly defined text and intricate details in all graphics and images. The Tau 330 can be integrated with any third-party finishing system, conventional or digital. It requires no inline priming to handle industry-standard substrates, and is compatible with a wide range of specialty films and foils.
