Durst Phototechnik AG is a manufacturer of photographic and printing equipment, based in Brixen, Italy.

History

Established in 1936 by two brothers, Julius and Gilbert Durst, who were enthusiasts in the field of photography, encouraged by their mother, who was also a keen photographer and had her own darkroom.

Products

Durst ended production of their enlargers, well known for their quality, in late 2006, due to a drop in sales, probably due to growth of minilabs and later digital imaging. In the 70 years of manufacturing enlargers their sales peaked in 1979 with 107,000 sold. Durst have filed over 500 patents for various components and designs of enlargers.

Now, Durst produce a range of super wide format inkjet printers based on UV polimerization ink technology. The quality of the output of these products is exceptional, as was the case with the companies historical enlargers, for high quality image reproduction and high versatility of application, from paper and plastic materials to ceramics and wood.
