Durst was at the recent Labelexpo Americas tradeshow in Chicago, where it showcased a captivating lineup of its products including the new hybrid KJet.

Making its American debut at the snow, the KJet is an end-to-end solution that combines OMET’s dual servo flexo printing units with Durst’s RSCi inkjet technology.

Modules for finishing and further processing (such as cold foil stamping or die-cutting units) can be integrated into the KJet, offering flexibility and an enormously broad application portfolio. In addition, the configuration of the KJet can be tailored to the specific requirements of each customer.

The launch of the KJet follows an announcement at Labelexpo in Brussels extending the hybrid development partnership between the two organisations beyond the XJet platform.

Durst labels and flexible packaging head of product management Martin Leitner was at Labelexpo Americas talking about the features of the machine.

“The KJet is a digital labels production machine that showcases the power of the Durst RSCi inkjet technology. It is available in a 420mm-wide configuration, as well as a 510mm-wide configuration, and can hold up to nine colours in digital – CMYK, orange, violet, green, and double white,” Leitner said.
