Century Printing and Packaging (CP&P) made history by investing in the first Durst 1200 dpi KJet hybrid in North America and in doing so, established their place today, and guaranteed their tomorrow. CP&P needed exceptional technology with high speed that would be capable of matching flexo type speed, and wanted to break into new markets. This led them to the KJet.

Century Printing and Packaging made history as the first in North America to install a Durst KJet hybrid press. Watch the video to hear how the family-owned South Carolina company is using hybrid printing to increase turnaround speeds, expand markets, and strengthen U.S. manufacturing in this interview with co-owners Ben and Neil Waldrop.

The KJet is a full labels factory in one press, offering unrivaled adaptability, productivity, and customization. The KJet combines dual servo flexo printing units and die cutting with Durst’s state-of-the-art RSCi inkjet technology, providing operators with simplicity and ease of use, coupled with an ultra-short web path that minimizes waste and reduces the set-up times.

Durst Hawk AI™ is an innovative technology utilizes camera vision systems with the aim of automating print quality, resulting in significantly reduced waste and overall improved print quality. It is not only an inspection system, it goes one step further as it is correcting print mistakes, such as missing nozzles, inline and in real time, without any setup needed and without any operator intervention.

The benchmark in productivity and flexibility will be at the 2024 PRINTING United Expo in Durst booth C1543. The Durst Tau 340 RSC has a real print speed of 262ft/min, a native resolution of 1200×1200 dpi and up to 8 color stations. Come see why all you need is RSC.

Labels Unlimited is experienced in digital label production, having brought that service in-house in 2017. “We continue to move more and more jobs to digital from flexo, and we need digital printers we can count on that are easy to operate. We have been able to easily transition jobs to the two RSC E printers and produce exceptional labels at fast speeds with very little waste or downtime” said Rami Arkhas, Owner of Labels Unlimited. “The RSC Es allow us to offer the best labels on the market at the most competitive prices.”

Two and a half years after purchasing their first RSCi, Accu-Label Inc. invested in a second. DJ Manning, Production Manager at Accu-Label, noted, “With close to 100% capacity on the first unit, it was time to add a second. Capacity and redundancy are such an integral part of our process, and we need the quick turn, fast speed, and high-quality abilities of the RSCi to open our business to faster turn labels.” The Durst Tau RSCi is designed for an industrial level of productivity, offering the highest quality in the most economical way. With 1200 dpi quality, and printing speeds up to 328ft/min, the RSCi is a game changer for label service providers.

Accu-Label of Fort Wayne, Indiana installed a Durst Tau RSCi in mid-2021. Production Manager DJ Manning commented on the press saying, “The Tau RSCi has halved the costs for consumables, and the print speed is up to five times higher compared to alternative solutions. It’s precisely this combination that makes the Tau RSCi unbeatable when it comes to digital label printing. And the color consistency the Durst solution provides is an enormous advantage where recurring jobs are concerned.”
