Toronto-based TI Group is expanding its large-format printing with the purchase of an inkjet-based Durst Rho 1000, to be installed within its SCL production facility in Scarborough. The company expects to take delivery in September 2011.
“This total investment of $2 million is a major initiative for our SCL facility,” said Domenic Rubino, Partner, TI Group. “This investment solidifies our position as a market leader for POP solutions and will position our company for additional growth in the coming years.”
Peter Spring, TI Group’s VP of Sales, explains how the Rho 1000 fills a production gap within its large-format lithography capabilities, which currently produces up to 73-inch work on a 6-colour manroland press. The Rho 1000 is a continuous UV-based inkjet system, employing Durst’s Quadro Array print-head technology, with a maximum output of up to 200 4 x 8-foot boards per hour.
“This [Durst] press will also add significant capacity to our SCL facility, where we have, over the last two years, expanded our scope of services to offer product design, creative support, and kitting,” said Spring.
In 2009, TI Group expanded its footprint with the purchase of CDIC, while the company picked up a UV-based, 6-colour, 40-inch sheetfed press in late-2008.
