The Key Features
Direct digital printing with unsurpassed
image and text quality
Durst Lambda Series combine the advan-
tages of classical silver halide photography
with the potential of the latest laser and
Print production without size limitations
Thanks to the patented, continuous roll to
roll exposure system with perfect edge to
edge sharpness and evenness, the Durst
Lambda have no print size limitations it can
digital technology, without an intermediate virtually generate any print size from icons
film stage - and without the compromises
of CMYK output, This technology offers
superior color saturation and fidelity, bet-
ter image quality, more details and sharper
type than other alternatives (customer
statement). It also provides a number of
advantages over conventional enlarge-
ments, including improved image quality
with no image distortion and no loss of
image sharpness, perfect edge to edge
sharpness and evenness, a reduction in
time spent handling images, and a decrease
in the cost of materials.
to large murals (with auto- and custom
panelling functions). One seamless print
can be as long as one entire 127 cm (50
in.) roll (50 m/164 ft). Print sizes exceeding
the max. paper width are automatical-
ly divided-up and exposed in sections.
Operator can select how oversized panels
are split. The desired overlap is adjustable.
This allows you offer new print sizes, create
new and exiting products and to enter new
market segments.
Multiple applications
On-the-fly image corrections and pixel
interpolation
All image sizing and image corrections,
such as color, density, contrast, sharpening
as well as cropping is done on-the-fly wit-
hout any additional computing time.
The Durst Lambda Large Format Digital La-
ser Imagers are successfully used in many
different imaging applications, such as:
• Large format reflective and backlit
printing in any size for point of purchase
displays, tradeshow graphics, etc.
• Silk Screen Printers
The Durst Lambda Series operate with
a full 36-bit RGB color space (68 billion
colors) to ensure excellent control over the
light source and to produce faithful color
reproductions.
Sharp images, text and graphics with
exceptional details at full contrast
The Durst Lambda Digital Imaging Techno-
logy ensures a constant pixel size and in-
tensity over the entire image. The patented
Durst continuous roll to roll laser exposing
system ensures no parasite light during
the exposure for perfect image white and
highest contrast range.

• Mapping (cartographic applications)
• Digital printing in portrait/social,
wedding and photofinishing labs
• Litho and Printing Industry
• Printing large quantities of small print
sizes
• Producing large volume backlit prints for
vending and gaming machines
• Graphics Arts Trade Shops (Pre-press)
• Etc.
Apparent resolution up to 4000 dpi
The Durst Lambda series feature a dual,
autoswitchable resolution of 200 and 400
full continuous tone pixels per inch (ppi)
with on-the-fly pixel interpolation. The
400 ppi full continuous-tone resolution
of the Durst Lambda Series is comparable
with a resolution of 4000 dpi of printers
with half-tone dots.
All in one
The unique size flexibility does no longer
require to split the orders because of dif-
ferent print sizes. With the Durst Lambda
you can handle all print sizes for one order
with the same device with perfect color
and density match and reduced production
costs.
Fully automatic take-up system
With almost no media waste.
High output speed
Exposes all media with the same high linear
speed of up to 65 cm (26 in.) per minute.
Compared with other digital systems the
Lambda is „remarkably faster“ (approx. 40
prints 100 x 130 cm/40 x 50 in. per hour).
Large customer base and high customer
satisfaction
With close to 1000 units sold worldwide
(as per End of July 2006), the Durst Lamb-
da has the highest install base of all large
format digital photo printers. In addition,
more than 80 customers have multiple
units up to 5 Lambda in the same location
and lab chains have up to 20 Lambda run-
ning successfully, which confirms the high
customer satisfaction.
Durst Lambda has become quickly a new
industry standard for high-end large for-
mat printing. It has rapidly gained a repu-
tation for high productivity and flexibility,
producing the finest quality of small and
large format reflective and backlit prints
from digital files.

MGE i-cut Software*
Proprietary Linux-based Durst user softwa- and 400 ppi
The MGE i-cut software module for an Au-
tomatic Workflow in conjunction with the
Zünd MGE i-cut cutting system for fully
automated cutting of mounted Lambda
prints on rigid media. The Durst Printer
Software will automatically create the
reference points on the image for single,
multiple or also nested prints. This will save
much time and labour costs on the file

be able to print, process, and finish-cut all
your images printed on the Lambda with a
minimal amount of manual labor.

Autonesting*
For optimum media use and fast printing
this feature allows to automatically print
different files and different print sizes side

The Durst Lambda ASCII file solution
offers the following advantages:
• Total flexibility for each file in terms
of print size, package, color and density
correction, contrast and saturation correc-
tions, etc.
Batch processing
For very fast operation of documents with
multiple pages or print runs.

• Files are no longer copied into the hot
folder. Instead of that, the ASCII file con-
tains the complete image path where the
file is located (can be any network-connec-

will automatically pick it up from there for
printing, but the original file will always
stay there. This allows a very fast operation
and reduces copying and network traffic.

Efficient print queue manager
The Durst Lambda has a queue feature for
efficient and fast operation. This allows
the operator to prepare and automatically
expose the jobs. All the queued jobs can
be automatically sorted by paper width
and type. The image file placed last in the
queue always comes first. The remaining
length is calculated and displayed for each
single job, taking the previous jobs into
account.
Color Management System*

Printer Software. The CMS features an

BMP and JPEG files (through „Load from
Disk“) by using independent ICC Profiles.
The Profiles can be generated with any
of the ICC compliant software packages
available for Mac and Windows computers.
This new CMS software will also read ICC
profiles embedded in the file for automatic
opertion. The integrated VectorPro Soft-
ware module features an automatic and
independent color conversion of Pantone-
specified colors in PostScript files during
the ripping process.
Soft proofing*
This module allows full soft proofing on
the monitor. Corection sliders are used to
correct images in color, saturation, density
and contrast.

Flexibility and Productivity
Paneling/Tiling Feature
Print sizes exceeding the
maximum paper width are au-
tomatically divided into strips
and exposed with cut marks.
This automatic tiling includes
the following options:
• division to match paper width
• all the panels with the same
width
• direct input of a required
panel width (custom panel
width)
• direct input of a required
panel length
The exact panel setting can
then be modified as needed by
the user. The required overlap
can be set.
On-the fly interpolation
The image files loaded on the hard disk are
automatically scaled (enlarged or reduced by
interpolation) according to the print size selected
and without the need to create a second file
according to the output size from the smallest
print size up to giant enlargements without
reciprocity failure.

Image cropping
Any part of the image can be crop-en-
larged without postprocessing. A special
interpolation procedure recalculates and
generates the pixels involved, and so
substantially enhances the image quality in
comparison to conventional enlargements.
Fast and economical printing of large
quantity jobs with small print sizes
With the „Multiple Print Function“, print
runs are automatically duplicated (cloned)
on-the-fly and printed side by side for fast
operation, minimum disk space and optimal
use of large paper widths.
Mixed orders of different images and print
sizes can be printed the Durst „Autones-
ting Function“, which automatically prints
different files and different print sizes side
by side including panels which will fit side
by side. Beside the easy, fast and fully au-
tomated operation, the Durst Autonesting
cuts down the waste dramatically and is a
great time saver.
