Durst’s 100th P5 TEX iSUB printing system has just left the factory – a milestone for the Italian company. This solution features sublimated printing in a single step, combining production speed, energy savings and waste reduction.
BRIXEN | Italy – March 2025 – Durst, a leading manufacturer of advanced digital printing and production technologies, recently announced the production of its 100th P5 TEX iSUB, a cutting-edge digital press designed for textile applications. This milestone underscores the growing industry adoption of the P5 TEX iSUB, recognized for its ability to optimize production efficiency while addressing increasing ecological demands.
Setting New Standards in Textile Printing
The P5 TEX iSUB introduced an innovative one-step fixing process, eliminating the need for additional heat presses. Unlike conventional methods that require a two-step process with separate heat transfer intervention, this system streamlines production into a single step, seamlessly integrating sublimation and fixing. This advancement enables textile production lines to achieve up to 40% time savings compared to traditional two-step solutions, significantly enhancing operational efficiency.
As sustainability remains a key priority in the industry, the P5 TEX iSUB leads the way with odorless, water-based inks and optimized energy consumption, reducing energy requirements by 60%. Additionally, the system eliminates the need for tissue paper in the transfer process, cutting down on waste and fluid consumption. The use of Oeko-Tex Eco Passport-certified inks further reinforces Durst’s commitment to environmentally responsible production.
Versatility and Precision for Textile Applications
Designed with a printing width of 3.50 meters, the P5 TEX iSUB is a versatile solution ideal for soft signage applications, including flags, advertising textiles, trade fair and exhibition signage, and interior decoration. The system offers flexibility with both direct textile printing and transfer paper compatibility, catering to a wide range of printing needs.
A key differentiator of the P5 TEX iSUB is its non-contact fixing process, which ensures consistent print quality, especially on delicate substrates such as backlit and blackback textiles for lightboxes. This technology delivers vivid colors and sharp image definition, while minimizing the risk of textile displacement during sublimation—meeting the high standards required for premium textile printing.
Advanced Software Solutions for Maximum Efficiency
Durst enhances the capabilities of the P5 TEX iSUB with a suite of advanced software solutions designed for workflow management and real-time production monitoring. The Durst Workflow and RIP software provides tools to optimize print parameters, maximize productivity, and minimize raw material waste. Additionally, Durst Analytics enables continuous performance tracking, allowing operators to refine and optimize production processes.
With its high level of automation, the P5 TEX iSUB simplifies operations, allowing a single operator to manage the machine, thereby reducing labor costs and increasing overall efficiency.
Durst’s continued innovation in textile printing technology solidifies its position as an industry leader, delivering cutting-edge solutions that meet both performance and sustainability demands.
