When you’re a manufacturing business, the quality of your product is largely dependent on the quality of the tools and machines you use to make that product. Skills and experience certainly matter, but even the best craftsman will struggle to do their best work when using inferior tools.
Just like any other manufacturing operation, SCN relies on the quality of our machinery to create the best high-quality labels, decals, and nameplates. That’s why we recently purchased a Durst Tau 330, a highly advanced digital label press that significantly boosts our production capabilities.
In addition to dramatically
improving SCN’s production capabilities, the Durst Tau 330 also allows us to improve the overall quality of our products, and to
expand the range of customer service options we offer. The printer may be new, but it’s already an integral part of our operation.
Durst, the printer’s manufacturer, is a global leader in digital inkjet printer systems for industrial use and has been a major industry player since its founding in 1936. In particular, the Tau 330 is known for its high efficiency and precise production capabilities.
One of the many advantages offered by the Tau 330 is that it has been engineered for “narrow web� applications, making it capable of handling smaller print runs than is generally possible. This gives SCN greater flexibility in fulfilling orders, making it easier to produce a modest volume of products.
The printer’s small print
run capabilities also make it easier for SCN to fulfill last-minute requests for expanded orders. Rather
than forcing customers to buy inventory they don’t want, SCN can now focus on providing our customers
with the exact number of products they need.
Another standout feature of the Tau 300 is its inline digital laser finishing capabilities, which make job changeovers quick and automatic. Rather than having to stop the
equipment between jobs, our team can now seamlessly transition from one job to another without pause, providing a major boost to productivity.
• Laser die-cutting capability, for reconfiguration during a print run.
• A high print speed of up to 157 fpm, with a production capacity of over 10,000 sq. ft. • High-definition inkjet printing with high-quality UV inks. • Lower ink consumption levels without a decrease in print quality.
