Durst has already sold 10 of these, including six to one US customer. It will take media up to 3.09 x 1.57 metres and up to 10cm in thickness.Īlongside the Vanguard flatbeds, Durst also showed off its P5 Tex iSub, a very fast dye sublimation printer that was launched just a couple of months ago. The company quotes the speed for its quality mode at 74sqm/hr.

It can be fitted with up to 10 heads and takes CMYK plus white and varnish. These are greyscale heads with drop sizes of 5, 10 and 15pl. Cich told me that he is a fan of Kyocera printheads, but he’s used Ricoh Gen6 heads for this printer to keep the cost down. Vanguard will take advantage of Durst’s workflow software, though Vanguard also seems intent on keeping its own separate identity David Cich, president and CEO of Vanguard, which is now part of the Durst Group.ĭavid Cich, president and CEO of Vanguard, also introduced a new entry level flatbed printer, the VR6D-HS. Vanguard is also established its own European facility, in Brixen in Italy, next to Durst’s main base. Durst will now start distributing the Vanguard printers in Europe through its own network though Vanguard is planning on setting up its own European distribution. Certainly, the results that were being printed on the stand did look very good.ĭurst brought a couple of recent printers but its main efforts went into introducing Vanguard Digital, the American manufacturer of wide format printers that it acquired last year. The print modes and speeds remain the same, but marketing director Petra Fetting says that the latest printers are more productive because users can run more jobs on the faster modes without compromising the print quality.

I’ve already covered these here but the main update is that the printheads have been switched from Konica Minolta 1024i to the new Konica Minolta 1280i heads. SwissQprint showed off its new fourth generation flatbeds, which were announced just before the show and are available now. They are interested in buying so it’s much better than I had hoped.”Īnd of course there were plenty of things that were being exhibited for the first time. Philip Van der Auwera, Agfa’s marketing manager for display graphics commented: “All the customers have come looking to invest. And most vendors that I spoke with said that visitors had come with the intention of investing in kit. Instead, the show itself was the main focus, simply the fact that it went ahead, that we could all meet face to face, shake hands and sit down together. But on reflection that probably says more about journalists – or maybe just me – having a very low threshold for boredom. The result is that, at first glance, there weren’t many new products announced at Fespa because they had already been announced some months earlier. This year, of course, has been different with vendors introducing new products as and when they are ready. This also means that some shows become identified with particular trends because there is a rash of similar product announcements. Usually vendors will hold back new announcements until a big show, which gives the impression that lots of new products are part of the experience of a show. This year’s Fespa took place at the RAI in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.Īlthough the show was reasonably busy, it did not feel as crowded as previous shows have done, and covered a much smaller area, but there was still a noticeable buzz with everyone glad to take another step together towards some sort of normality. Much to my relief, the endless round of trade shows, of early morning flights, bad coffee, and hurried interviews has finally restarted, at least for me, with last week’s Fespa show in Amsterdam.
