ORLANDO, Fla., April 8, 2010 – Once again, Durst has received an industry award in recognition of its high-quality, cost-effective digital printing solutions – this time for its VOC-free Rho Rigid UV Ink Set from the readers of Wide-Format Imaging magazine. The 2010 Readers’ Choice Top Products Award singles out the Rho ink set the best UV inks in the industry.
Editor Denise Gustavson said her readers are asked to cast ballots for products that have demonstrated high quality and performance, and been a valuable asset to their users. She said Wide-Format Imaging sponsors Readers’ Choice Top Products program to “salute the suppliers that designed and brought these products to the market.” The awards were presented today at the ISA Sign Expo trade show in Orlando.
Durst’s Rho Rigid UV Ink Set, formulated specifically for printing on boards and other rigid surfaces, delivers accurate colors and excellent adhesion on acrylics, soft and hard foam board, polycarbonates, metal, wood and other building surfaces, PVC, even glass – with no need for primers. Highly durable and weather-resistant, these inks retain their properties for three years.
These economical inks are VOC- and solvent-free, satisfying the strictest environmental regulations. Because of its higher pigment content, the Durst Rho Rigid UV Ink Set achieves its exceptional results – full coverage, vibrant color and excellent adhesion – very efficiently, with a thinner ink layer and less UV energy required.
“We’re especially gratified by this recognition for two reasons: It comes from the ‘judges’ who matter most to Durst – members of the imaging industry who know our inkjet printing solutions – and because it demonstrates the high standards we set for every aspect of our solutions, from hardware to software to consumables,” said Christopher Howard, Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Durst U.S. “We’d like to thank Wide-Format Imaging for sponsoring this event, and for presenting us with its Readers’ Choice Top Products award.”
Last year, Wide-Format Imaging’s readers also chose Durst’s VOC-free, low-odor UV inks as the best the industry has to offer. Durst inks exhibit superior stability, flexibility, adhesion and durability. In addition, its roll inks wear the coveted Nordic Swan Eco-Label – the first digital ink to earn this environmental honor. Durst ink options are extensive – for both rigid and roll media; for challenging jobs and the most economical; and in a palette of colors, including light colors, additional process colors, special-effect varnish, and the industry’s most versatile white ink.
