The
Rho 205 provides those who offer large-format advertising –
photographic laboratories, digital printers, and screen
printers - the possibility of profitably printing images,
text, graphics, and signs with perfect quality on to rigid
media and boards up to 205 cm (81 in) in width.
The Decisive Advantage: Growing with your System.
The Rho 205/8 will be able to be upgraded to the Rho 205/16,
thereby doubling its speed. Designed in a platform and module
technology, expansion modules are planned that will give the
owner of the Rho 205 the possibility of adapting his or her
current machine to the new, additional demands of the market.
Growth that is financed by the income and profits of the basic
version.
Because of its price, the Rho 205/8 is an economically
reasonable entry-level version that can already be
amortized with small print runs for photo labs, screen
printers, digital printers, and print shops. In contrast to
the "planned obsolescence policy" that is the rule in the
digital sector, it is proposed to be adapted to technological
and market-related changes.

a thickness of 70 mm (2.76 in.), a weight of 70 kg (154 lb.),

With the industrial version, it is possible to print on fire
protection doors, doors with solid door panels, doors for
refrigerators, wall partitions in glass, façade panels, and
other decorations on the most varied of construction

The modular construction of the Rho allows different printhead
arrangements thus facilitating the use of
 | white ink (CMYKW); |
 | spot colours (ocean blue, warm red)
|
 | varnish |
in selectable combinations.

This combinations facilitate to print white as overprint,
underprint, spot, underspot as well as to emphasize selected
parts of an image orr brand marks by using spot varnish or by
coating the whole surface with glossy varnish. |
