MediaCo installs Durst P5 350 H/S Fluo in UK first

Wide-format and fabric printer, MediaCo, has announced the installation of a Durst P5 350 H/S Fluo, reportedly the first in the UK to do so.

The hybrid press is capable of handling both multi-roll, dual roll, and rigid boards up to 3.5m wide, designed for high capacity runs for clients in retail, exhibitions, events, property marketing, and bespoke custom builds.

The Fluo model introduces fluorescent ‘neon’ effect ink technology, widening the possible print applications available and allowing the exploration of high-contrast and ‘ultra-bright’ signage that commands attention.

The press joins MediaCo’s existing swissQprint Kudu flatbed printer, which also offers UV ‘neon’ printing. MediaCo was also the first UK company to purchase the Kudu in 2023.

The Durst solution was also reportedly chosen for its sustainable credentials, with MediaCo highlighting its LED curing technology as allowing the printer to operate at lower temperatures, consume less energy, and eliminate ozone emissions.

In a release about the purchase, MediaCo says that its latest investment “signals a bold step forward, offering clients access to cutting-edge print technology that enhances brand visibility like never before.”

The purchase is part of wider expansion goals for MediaCo, which aims to secure its goal as an industry leader by continually advancing its capabilities.

Stephen Arthur, managing director of MediaCo, says: “At MediaCo, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in industrial printing.

“With the Durst P5 350 H/S Fluo, we’re not just increasing our capacity, we’re unlocking new creative opportunities for our clients.”
