Having previously invested in the UK’s first Rho P10 250HS PLUS 6C+ inkjet printer in December 2017, the firm has now become the first in the UK to purchase Durst’s latest Rho printer for the second time.

Commenting on the investment, Neville Tosar, director of Icon Graphics says: “From my first-year experience, I had no hesitation in getting a Durst again, although I did my homework. This is new LED technology from Durst and I think LED will be the future.

“This second machine also prints at an amazing quality and is incredibly quick and flexible. I come from an engineering background and soon realised how well these machines are built and, pound for pound, the machine represents really good value. Investing in technology is a way of making the best use of staff and making them more productive.”

As a large-format digital print, sign, and direct-to-media firm which works with many blue-chip companies, this investment opens up opportunities to move into additional markets such as events and exhibitions, point-of-sale, and retail sectors such as light box work.

Peter Bray, managing director of Durst UK and Ireland, adds: “This is another quantum leap forward for Icon Graphics, which is the first company in the UK and Ireland to install a Durst Rho 512R LED system, which is especially suitable for thermo-sensitive substrates and benefits from a new ink system.

“This is another example of how increasing numbers of companies are turning to Durst to partner them as part of the transformation and digitisation of industrial production processes.”
