Xeikon is launching Trillium One at drupa 2016, Messe Düsseldorf, May 31 to June 10 in Hall 8a. First machines will ship as from Q2 2017.
Trillium One harnesses Trillium, Xeikon’s breakthrough liquid toner printing process, which was first presented at drupa 2012.
A joint development project between Xeikon and Miyakoshi, Trillium One combines the expertise of two leading players in their fields: Miyakoshi’s strengths in the mechanics of a printing press and Xeikon’s approach to digital imaging, high speed electronics, high resolution LED technology, workflow and toner technology.
Over the past four years, Xeikon has also worked closely with hand-picked customers to complete the development of the four-color Trillium One press. Capable of running at 60 meters (200 feet) per minute at 1200 dpi, with a print width of 500 mm (19.7 inches), it combines cost-effectiveness, high quality and speed. Direct marketing materials and catalogs have been identified as high quality markets for Trillium One.
At drupa, Trillium One’s production flexibility will be showcased five times daily using a range of applications during 30-minute demonstrations.
“Trillium One takes us to a new technological level in terms of speed and cost for variable digital print,” said Wim Maes, president of Xeikon, the digital printing solutions division of Flint Group. “It is a huge milestone in the Xeikon history.”
It incorporates Xeikon’s own developed Tonnik, a liquid toner combining all the advantages of dry toner in a liquid format, including environmentally friendly as being deinkable and economical. Its development ensures Xeikon users can meet ever-rising quality and productivity standards.
Trillium’s outstanding level of quality is due to the high resolution made possible by the imaging heads (1200 dpi) and the small toner particle size of less than 2 microns used in the Xeikon-crafted high viscosity liquid toner. The toner contains no evaporating carriers for a more environmentally conscious print production process that also mechanically recycles the majority of the carrier liquid. Biomaterial derived carrier liquids have been identified further increasing the sustainability of this new technology. As tested by INGEDE, printed materials are perfectly deinkable on the Trillium press.
“Trillium One combines the strengths of offset litho in delivering high print quality, ink densities and image coverage on different substrates, with the strengths of digital printing, which enables variable data printing at higher volumes with lower costs and easy operation, thus creating a powerful production solution,” Maes concluded. “It will allow operations to transform their print quality and at the same time open up new markets. We are excited to be presenting this revolutionary press to visitors at drupa 2016.”
