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.
