Xeikon announced the worldwide commercial availability of its Xeikon CX3 digital label press, based on Xeikon Cheetah digital print technology. The press will be available for order taking as of Sept. 29, the opening day of Labelexpo Europe 2015, Brussels, Belgium.
The Xeikon Cheetah technology is in pilot operation at five sites around the world, where it has delivered outstanding performance. At the show, Xeikon will unveil the newly designed press and conduct live demonstrations of the Xeikon CX3, the fastest five-color digital label press in its class.
“Our extensive presence at Labelexpo Europe 2015, the world’s largest event for the label industry, reinforces our dedication to bringing innovation, productivity and profitability to the label printing business, which has grown to represent more than 50% of our revenues,” said Wim Maes, Xeikon’s CEO. “We have been extremely pleased with the feedback received from the Xeikon Cheetah’s pilot sites, and we look forward to seeing those results replicated with many more customers around the globe.”
In addition to Xeikon Cheetah technology, the company will have a complete range of digital print production solutions on display.
Next to the Xeikon CX3, Xeikon will have a Xeikon 3300 on the booth, its flagship narrow-web label press with printing widths of 200mm (7.9”) up to 330mm (13”). This press is ideal for printing self-adhesive labels at top speeds, and will be printing wine, health and beauty, food and industrial applications.
A Xeikon 3500 press, dedicated to folding carton, will be demonstrated in the Packprint Workshop, where Xeikon will also give presentations.
At Labelexpo, Xeikon will be unveiling two new toners: MatteSilver and PalladiumSilver. These new luxury-look toners are the first products in the new Xeikon Creative Colors toner group. MatteSilver offers the luxury of a rich metal finish to the print substrate, while Palladium - uniquely available for digital print in the Xeikon portfolio - features a speckled silver sparkle for extra textural interest.
Xeikon will also show its X-800 digital front-end (DFE). A unique capability included in the Xeikon X-800 4.0 DFE is the next-generation VariLane tool, designed to optimize productivity and profitability by printing labels of different heights, widths and run lengths on the same web in separate lanes.
Also on hand is the Web Varnishing Module (WVM), a versatile unit that can apply UV or aqueous varnish on one side of a wide range of substrates. It enables press operators to immediately see the results of the coating and make adjustments if necessary, eliminating the time and cost that occurs when less-than-optimum nearline coating means sending the job back for reprinting.
Available in in-line and nearline configurations, the Xeikon DCoat post-press unit includes as standard flood UV varnishing, lamination, semi rotary die-cutting, length slitting and a dual spindle rewinder. Optional modules such as spot UV varnishing and alternative rewinders or slitters are also available.
