Theta 76
Theta 76 HS
Multi Format Lab System
The production of small and large print
sizes directly from image files is made easy
with our fully digital Multi-Lab System
Theta 76/76 HS. Please observe closely,
because the Theta 76 produces all images
continuously on RA4 roll media up to a
maximum width of 76.2 cm, thus allowing
print sizes from 9 x 13 cm (3.5 x 5 in.) to
76,2 cm x 4 m (30 in. x 13 ft). With this
enormous flexibility a multitude of new
applications and business opportunities are
opening themselves for you. Whether its
portrait or wedding photography, whether
studio or minilab – there are no jobs that
you can not accomplish at optimum
quality. Theta prints with a resolution
of 254 ppi continuous tone (which
corresponds with about 1.200 dpi) and a
linear printing speed of up to a max. of
72 cm (28 in.) per minute. This means,
that you can from now on reliably produce
standard print sizes, panorama prints, each
with or without cropping, package prints,
print series and so on, either as cut single
images or as panels up to 4 m (13 ft.).

With many new formats to many
new businesses!

You will produce as flexible as never before! Previously almost
impossible print size requests can now be produced easily with
Theta 76/76 HS. From standard prints sized 9 x 13 cm (3.5 x 5 in.)
to 76 cm (30 in.) all the way up to 4 m (13 ft.) long panorama
prints, all poster prints, mix format orders, as well as long, double
sided print sizes for trendy “digital albums” - all that becomes
normal, daily work for you.
You are working with a production capacity of 370 prints per hour
in 20 x 25 cm (8 x 10 in.) format at maximum exposure speed on
the largest possible roll width. This corresponds with a capacity
of over 18 m2/hour (193 sq. ft.). Outstanding in it’s performance,
Theta 76 produces up to 1.120 prints in 10 x 15 cm format per
hour, 370 prints in 20 x 25 cm format per hour, 47 prints in
50 x 75 cm format per hour or 24 prints in 76 x 100 cm format
per hour.
With Theta 76 HS your production capacity will increase another
50 %, which equals to 27 m2, over 2.000 prints 9 x 13 cm
(3,5 x 5 in.) or 70 posters 50 x 70 cm (20 x 30 in.)
Convincing image quality
The 254 PPI resolution “full continuous tone” exposure of Theta
76 generates a perfect image definition from image edge to image
edge.
Superior material utilization
Theta 76 positions images side by side on panels or strips. With
it’s special auto nesting software and multiple print function an
optimal material utilization is guaranteed. Even its productivity
is increased by the connected, automatic cutting device, which
makes sure that images are cut to the correct sizes.

Surprising even on the
reverse side
With Theta you receive the only
digital printer, that can print on
the back of single cut images
and at side-by-side nested
images on a wider media roll.

Durst Fiber Optic (DFO) Technology
The DFO technology is the heart of our system. Monochrome
LED’s (red, green, blue) produce light which is projected as pixels
over glass fiber cable and optics line-by-line with 254 ppi printing
resolution/256 levels onto photo sensitive material.
The DFO technology becomes unique through its media calibration
system consisting of densitometer, scanner and the corresponding
software whereby the majority of materials are calibrated to
an optimum. The DFO technology features an LED light source
with an extremely long life time of close to 100.000 hours,
thus combining proven Durst image quality at extremely low
maintenance costs.

Digital, automatic workflow
The image data is automatically “retrieved” from the data server.
The scaling also occurs automatically – and without further
manual intervention, the ICC conversion, printing, processing,
cutting and sorting takes place. All this together really leads to
a fully automatic, digital workflow.

The “Brain” of your Theta 76 – The software
The special programmed Theta 76 software
is the intelligent pre-condition for save
and trouble-free processes. The software
runs on a high-performance Windows XP
Professional Workstation and accomplishes
all important work such as:
• Automatic image correction with
I2E TM-software
• Automatic file scaling
• Automatic file rotation,
• Automatic sharpening
• Color Management
• Auto-Nesting, Multiprints
• Index Prints
Our software works with high speed - and
therefore lowers significantly the waiting
time of the printer. An important part in
the workflow is also the multi tasking,
whereby jobs are prepared at simultaneous
printing of already prepared jobs.

Spooling without any breaks
The description “spooling“ means the fully
automatic and continues loading of files
from the server station whereby already
spooled jobs are printed simultaneously.
Direct correction with “soft proofing“
New is also the “Soft proofing“ function,
allowing a direct correction of single
images or multiple images in thumbnail
size on the screen. A deciding advantage
is the operation safety which results in
improved image quality.

Here we convert colors correct: the color
management software
The fully automatic Color-Management
Workflow converts TIFF, JPEG, BMP and
PPM files with:
• Choice of desired ICC input profile with
rendering intents
• automatic recognition of embedded ICC
profiles
• Automatic selection of the correct
output profiles assigned to the paper
channel.

Can it be anymore
comfortable?

The paper cassette:
functional and practical.

Facts of the RA4 paper
processor

The 100 % light tight and wheel mounted
paper cassette can be easily loaded from
the front side of the imager. The cassette
allows full daylight use and accepts media
roll widths from 20.3 cm (8 in.) up to
76.2 cm (30 in.) at a max. length of
175 m (530 ft.). For printing, the paper is
transported out of the cassette and in
case of a cassette or material change
pulled completely back into the cassette.
Using this technique unnecessary material
loss is avoided.

Designed for RA4 and compatible
processes, our roller transport paper
processor is directly connected to the
Theta 76 imager. It can be operated as
desired with either chemical or flowing
wash. The processor contains everything
that you expect from a professional device:
integrated bath replenishment and bath
heating, bath level monitoring and a high
performance IR dryer. The processor runs
with a transport speed of 52 meters
(170 ft.) per hour.

If you want to make it even more easy for
yourself in handling the Theta 76, then you
should decide right away for the external
automatic cutter/sorter station. Here, the
auto nesting software arranges all images
in strips whereby all print sizes are
produced on the largest media roll,
resulting in maximum flexibility and
productivity. And after processing, the
cutter&sorter station cuts single images
and sorts them to orders. You profit from
the simplicity of operation which comes
close to a minilab, because you receive
ready cut and according to the order
sorted pictures.
For even larger sizes there is a larger
Y-cutter 50 available, that can cut sizes
up to 50 x 70 cm (20 x 30 in.)

The printing unit

At Durst no drums are used as in other systems.
Therefore you have the advantage of image sizes
up to 4 meter (13 ft.) length – ideal for panorama
prints in any length. And this is the procedure:
Our patented LED fiber optic light source exposes
continuously onto photo paper in rolls. Prints
are cut according to the selected print size prior
to feeding it into the paper processor. Customer
and lab information is printed on the back of the
image with the back printer.

Never again trouble with
the latent image

A sensitive subject: The latent image. We
have solved the problem without the usual
productivity loss and related loss of time as it
occurs at other manufactures. And this is how
we did it: The exposed material is continuously
transported through a “Print Puffer”, where
the latent image is stabilized prior to the transfer
to the processor. This results in a homogeneous
image production with a high repeat accuracy.
You receive images of highest quality without
any color drift.
