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. 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.).

Theta 76 / 76 HS

Theta 76/ 76 HS Key features


Theta 76
Here we introduce you to the cost-efficient versions. Equipped with a high speed digital imager, daylight paper cassette, the connected RA4 paper processor and a front end work- station, your daily work is improved and at
the highest standard.

Theta 76 HS

Theta 76 is also available as High-Speed version in order to match your high production requirements, reaching 27 m2, equal to 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 & Superior material utilization

The 254 PPI resolution "full continuous tone" exposure of Theta 76 generates a perfect image definition from image edge to image edge.

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.


Profit from the trend.

Digital photo albums become more and more popular as they are a creative and attractive medium to present memories exclusively and individually. It does not matter how different the requested formats are, Theta is well versed in all of them. Offer your clients album sizes they way they desire. With Theta you can produce fast and easy double sided albums pages for weddings, vacations and many other occasions.


Win new customers with additional services.

Make your customer a desirable offer with attractive indexprints and professional contact sheets. Instead of standard print sizes you create exactly the sizes that your customers want. Here, even the most demanding customer will be pleased!

Lead in print sizes - it will be worth it!

Panorama images are the show piece of any lab. Theta produces first class panaroma images in any desired length just with the push of a button. Do we have to tell you that your image will also expand in view of service and competence?


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.

Durst Fiber Optic (DFO) Technology
durst theta 76 image

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.


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 I2ETM-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..

The paper cassette: functional and practical.
durst theta 76 image

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.


Facts of the RA4 paper processor

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.

Can it be anymore comfortable?
durst theta 76 image

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.
