Fuji Xerox Launches Digital Label Printing Business with Durst Tau 330 in Singapore

 Fuji Xerox Launches Digital Label Printing Business with Durst
Tau 330 in Singapore

SINGAPORE, May 16, 2017 – Fuji Xerox Singapore Pte. Ltd.
announces that it is entering the growing digital label printing business by
expanding its suite of product offerings with Durst Industrial Services Pte.
Ltd.’s Durst Tau 330 series, one of the world’s leading ultraviolet (UV)
digital inkjet label presses.

Fuji Xerox Singapore will provide digital label printing
solutions with the Durst Tau 330 to meet increasing demand from customers to
convert time-consuming print job runs on conventional presses into profitable
print jobs. The Durst Tau 330 UV digital inkjet printer prints
images on the substrate by exposing its ink to UV light, which dries the ink
almost immediately. This allows it to print directly onto various substrates
quickly, including heat-sensitive films and labels. As the UV ink dries faster
than solvent ink, the digital UV inkjet technology, which is built into the
system, meets the need for efficient printing.

The Tau 330 series delivers sharp, precise, and durable print
quality at a high speed for today’s most demanding print applications. Through
Durst’s single-pass UV inkjet printing technology with dual printhead
architecture, it prints in full color at a high speed of 37 linear meters per
minute while printing in the highest print resolution in UV inkjet label
printer class of 1,260 dots per inch, in high definition mode.

“This partnership between Durst and Fuji Xerox is a perfect
fit for two market leaders,” said Helmuth Munter, segment manager, Labels
and Package Printing, Durst. “Fuji Xerox is a leading company in the
Document Services and Communications field, and Durst is a leading manufacturer
of professional digital imaging systems. Together, we aim to expand our market
in Asia Pacific through the vast network of Fuji Xerox to provide added values
to customers in the region.”

Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific has an exclusive distributorship with
Durst, the leading provider of digital UV inkjet label press in Asia Pacific,
including Australia, New Zealand, China (including Taiwan and Hong Kong), while
it has non-exclusive distributorship in Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia,
Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Myanmar and Cambodia.　

Selena Sung, senior manager, Marketing, Fuji Xerox Singapore, said “The labels and packaging
market is the fastest growing segment in the printing industry. Brand owners
today increasingly demand for more variety of labels but at a lower quantity
per production run. This makes digital inkjet label printing the ideal solution
to meet these changing needs. Moreover, our own Fuji Xerox customers are
constantly looking to us for innovative business expansion ideas. This
partnership between Fuji Xerox and Durst will enable our customers and us to
connect with new opportunities in the label printing segment.”

Backed by the reassurance of the Fuji Xerox Online Support Centre,
customers can also enjoy increased business uptime through the Fuji Xerox
Customer Support Advantage service. Key services provided include 24/7 internet
support (access to the industry’s most comprehensive support information); LogMeIn
Rescue, a real-time remote access tool which allows a Fuji Xerox support
engineer to initiate an online session with the customer to resolve the issue
on their desktop; as well as on-site engineer support.
