Koenig & Bauer Durst has opened a new 700sqm dedicated hall for the VariJet 106 hybrid press for folding cartons, at its Customer Experience Center in Radebeul, Germany. This opportunity to get hands on experience with the press, testing digital, offset and post-print production on a single site, has been described by Koenig & Bauer Durst as ‘unique’.
The water-based inkjet press, jointly developed by Durst and Koenig & Bauer, runs 5500 B1 sheets per hour. Customers and visitors can now bring their own print files and substrates to see for themselves the flexibility, sustainability and cost-competitive opportunities afforded by the press, explained the company.

‘The new dedicated hall for the VariJet 106 digital, hybrid press for folding carton markets represents another important step in our evolution,’ said Daniel Velema, managing director of Koenig & Bauer Durst.
He added that since the VariJET 106 Customer Experience Center opened, the company has been running back-to-back print tests with customers and brands from all key geographies being represented: North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. Successful tested applications to date include cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, healthcare and food, he concluded.
